Michael Kors rant: GO YOUNGER on Project Runway

What is it about Michael Kors and his constant rant to "GO YOUNGER" on Project Runway?

Here's the thing Michael:

You're a good designer and we love you, but who do you think is buying your stuff? 20 year olds? I think it's probably closer to 35 and up, and that is because unless you're born into money or very lucky, you don't have any to buy great fashion until you're at least in your late 20s.

I do like youthful looks, but really, the rant to GO YOUNGER is a bit much all the time. You're sitting on a panel of over 40 year old women (Heidi and Nina) and often your guest judge is over 40, so WHAT?

Why don't Heidi and Nina ever protest? "Stay on the youthful side in your designs" is a better comment. GO YOUNGER (and yes, you say this a LOT), is not appropriate. The MOB comment (you love this one) is closer to true. It's usually a frumpy, mature look. I think we're all good with that.

Unless you are a hot fashionable MOB. Then, no.

JMO!
