>> Previously on Project Runway:

>> Welcome to Mercedes-Benz

Fashion Week!

>> You will each be presenting

three looks.

>> The last thing you need is

that handbag and those shoes and

the braid!

I wish they were cleaned up a

little bit.

>> I do not love the bubble

butt.

It looks like a cartoon.

>> Could you do me a favor and

take the jacket off?

Oh, well, I love that.

>> Divine!

The prints are fantastic.

>> The editing is important.

Turn up the volume, but, like,

just, you know...

>> Joshua, I am so impressed.

Is there more color?

>> Well, of course.

>> Love it from the front, hate

it from the back.

>> Anya, the gown looks like

it's something that you've done

in a day.

>> If they looked a little

beachier, it would give it an

easiness.

>> It does not feel genuine to

you.

>> You know, they all did

something good and some things

that they really have to work

on.

>> They all need to edit it and

change it and shift it.

>> Joshua, you're showing at

Lincoln Center.

Viktor, you're in.

Kimberly, you will show at New

York Fashion Week.

Anya...you're in as well.

>> Four people still in the

game.

If you weren't this beautiful,

I'd be pissed off right now.

>> This is Project Runway.

Project Runway 9x14 Finale Part Two Original Air Date on October 27, 2011

== sync, corrected by elderman ==

>> It hasn't hit you like this.

It's crazy.

>> Yeah, I mean, yesterday was

insane.

I'm thrilled to be here, but

at the same time, what I showed

on the runway yesterday was not

the best work that I've ever

done.

>> You think the boys are

genuinely happy for us?

>> Well, Josh seemed a little

upset.

But I think that's Josh,

and it's fine.

>> You know how nice it would

have been to just get rid of

someone and bring the percentage

of winning this competition to,

like, 33...

>> Yeah.

>> Percent each, you know?

Oh, crap.

I'm in it to win it, and now I

gotta, like, once again knock

someone out of the game.

>> They overall loved our

direction, our story.

So imagine now making it how

they said to do it.

It would be ten times better.

I'm not worried about is it

sewn well?

Is the hem well?

It's aligned.

It's all done.

I think it's just editing.

>> Bye, Hudson.

We love you.

>> Bye!

>> Well, in the process of

making this collection, I think

that I had a bit of an identity

crisis.

>> I love this first dress.

It's that Caribbean point of

view.

That is unique to you.

Not you.

You just have to embrace what

you're good at.

>> I 100% agree with the judges.

So what can I rework?

What can I restyle?

How can I make what I have

exactly the way I want it to be?

>> Good morning, everyone.

>> Good morning, Tim.

>> First of all, I know that it

was tough on the runway last

night.

I had to take a hard smack

listening to the judges,

because I wanted to shout.

I mean, Viktor, your evening

look on Erica, I loved the

juxtaposition of the hard and

the soft.

They didn't.

>> Mm-hmm.

>> Kimberly, your

accessorization, for me, it was

that tough Brooklyn girl.

They hated it.

And, Joshua, your Grecian cat

suit, I mean, I thought it was

phenomenal.

"No!"

>> Yeah.

>> And, Anya, you were all over

the place, and that evening look

was not your best work.

And you know it.

>> Yes, I do.

>> So these next two days

are make-it-or-break-it time for

each of you, and I have to tell

you, any one of you could win

this.

All right?

I have a tremendous gift to

present to you.

We're going shopping at Mood

with a budget of $500.

>> Oh, my God, that is a gift.

Seriously.

>> So you can do whatever you

want with this opportunity.

So I'm gonna give you the next

30 minutes to figure out how to

use the time and money at Mood

to move your collection forward.

>> Thanks, Tim.

>> Ohh.

>> You could do anything with

it.

>> But do we have the time for

all the stuff I wanna change?

>> What are you gonna be doing?

>> I think I'm gonna change

this fabric out.

So I'll make pants, this, then

I'm gonna gonna take the skirt

from yesterday and just make it

in black.

This way, the shape will be the

risk, not the color as well.

>> 'Cause I still like the

shape, though.

>> You have fabric.

>> Yeah, I have this fabric.

I have black jersey.

I just need to get more of this

paint.

What's your plan?

>> I'd love to rethink the

jumper.

It was beautiful from the front,

but too tight from the back.

So I need to evaluate that.

>> Anya, what's your plan, my

lady?

>> Well, there's the plan that

if I had, like, six months to

make it.

>> Right.

>> And then there's the plan of,

like, okay, really?

I'm very overwhelmed.

I have a few ideas of things

that I would like to do, but

it's still not very clear.

>> And, you know, to tell you

the truth, I am happy that Mood

is happening, because I wasn't

happy with my gown.

>> I think it looks a little

messy, so I'm taking it off,

starting fresh.

I want everything to look

perfect.

All right, designers.

Let's go.

>> My strategy is, whatever pops

out of me, I'm buying it.

I'm not thinking about the

shapes, I'm not thinking about

the design.

They're all gorgeous.

It's really the craziest

strategy I've ever used.

>> I have this color in my

collection.

I might like this a little bit.

>> Yes, like, finally, for once,

like, I'm at Mood not freaking

out, and I'm finding what I

need.

Give me two yards of it as well.

>> No black.

>> Kimberly, do you really need

the embellishment?

'Cause I think you might be

gilding the lily.

>> I wanted kind of something

like a burnout or something that

just kind of gets transparent.

>> Uh-huh.

>> I just wanted the gown to be

very sheer, so it looks like

it's covered, but it's not,

because you can see through it.

>> Designers, you have two

minutes remaining.

Spend, spend, spend.

>> Hey!

>> 5¢ to spare!

>> All right, designers, let's

head back to the Piperlime

workroom.

Thank you, Mood!

>> Look, Anya.

>> That's stunning.

>> All right, designers.

You will be going to the Garnier

hair studio later today for

consultations about your

models' hair.

And you have until midnight

tonight.

Bye, everybody.

>> Thank you, Tim.

>> Love.

>> Beautiful, right?

I basically bought

all-new fabric.

My intention is to make three

new looks altogether.

The bathing suit and a

cover-up and the gown because,

clearly, that was not a winner.

I saw about ten black-and-white

prints in one minute.

And I was like, "This has to be

a sign."

It's just now...How does it work

with that?

>> Anya's looks are definitely

changing.

Might or might not be good.

But we'll see.

>> I'm gonna do, like, a little

tank out of this.

I think what I'm gonna do,

actually, I'm gonna do two more

of these.

Because I can do these tanks in,

like, 45 minutes.

And these shorts, I'm doing it

out of green now.

I think it's gonna be really

hot.

>> I'm starting with the bubble

skirt.

And it's actually not going

well.

It looks sad.

It's just kind of a disaster.

>> Oh, my God, this is gonna be

cute.

>> I love that print.

>> Well, you know what?

I think I have enough.

I'm gonna make me a tank top

too.

Take that, Project Runway.

>> Hello.

>> Hey, Anya!

>> For styling on the runway,

I'm gonna really listen to the

judges.

The direction I went with was a

little bit too done.

I just want it to look very

easy.

>> I'm gonna use your personal

favorite.

>> Oh, you remember.

>> Surf hair. Of course.

>> What I'm trying to find is

that rock-and-roll girl.

I want to keep 'em masculine and

feminine.

>> The pompadour is definitely

your look.

>> Ooh.

>> I had that braid, but I still

want to do something soft, like

the judges said.

Something a little bit easy.

I love it.

>> They loved my styling

yesterday.

>> Ponytail.

>> Yeah.

>> Severe.

>> Kind of...Yeah.

>> Take some super stiff.

It's gonna look like patent

leather up there.

>> I think it's really, really

great.

>> Good!

>> How you doing, Kimberly?

>> I'm doing okay.

How are you doing?

>> I started these amazing

shorts.

>> Oh, and what are those

strings gonna do?

>> Well, like, if it's on the

leg, I want it to, like, kind of

pop.

>> Oh.

>> I'm just leaving them there

right now, 'cause I--it's like,

put this down, regroup your

mind, pull it together.

>> Josh is a little all over the

place right now.

He's like, going crazy.

>> You know what I really want

to make out of the screen?

I'm actually loving the screen.

You know the neoprene gray

jacket that you love?

I'd like to do that out of this.

>> Let me ask you a question.

Are you finished with your

collection, and you're just

creating extra pieces?

>> No.

>> Why don't you focus on

finishing what you have?

'Cause right now, it seems to me

that you're going everywhere.

>> You know, I've come this far,

and I want this so bad, that

failing at this point just

doesn't seem an option to me.

I'm frustrated with myself that

i still have pieces to do two

days before a show.

>> You okay? What's wrong?

>> I don't want to rush

this work.

I don't want to send stuff.

I don't even know why I'm this

emotional about it.

But it's right there, and I want

it so bad.

I have to go back to, like,

nothing.

I don't even have a job after

this.

I'm crazy.

God.

>> You're exhausted, I mean...

And, Josh, you have a great

collection.

You really do.

And I feel 150% the same way,

because, honestly, I got the

chance to come back.

I have to prove that I was worth

it.

But it just frustrates me that I

don't have more time.

But what's the choice?

>> There's no other choice.

>> I'm not a quitter.

>> That's not the option.

>> No, it's not.

>> And sitting here crying

isn't either.

'Cause if I'm tired, I should

take a nap.

>> All I know is that I've

learned a lot.

I've come very far.

And I've done my absolute

best.

And you have to know that too.

>> I know.

>> Think you can do all your

hems in ten minutes?

>> Coming up on Project Runway:

>> Tomorrow is the day.

. No.

>> What else is new?

>> I don't know, because--

>> what do you mean, you don't

know?

It's tough love.

>> Okay, where am I standing

now?

>> Oh, My Lord of the Rings.

Tomorrow is the day.

This is Mercedes-Benz Fashion

Week.

You gotta grab the handle right

now.

You gotta start the motorcycle.

You cannot let go, because it

will fall down.

How you feelin'?

>> That says it all.

>> I am beyond words.

It's just a race against the

clock.

>> I can't make any more

changes.

>> I can't make not one living

single, breathing change.

>> We have only one more day

left to do everything, and I

still have everything to do.

>> What are you working on?

>> Finishing this green skirt.

>> Josh wakes up this morning,

ready to work, totally

rejuvenated from last night.

So you're redoing the jumper?

>> I was thinking about keeping

that front cascade, but then

doing a full-length gown out of

it.

>> That's cute.

>> Even with all the stress,

I feel good because what I'm

bringing to Fashion Week is

really cool.

>> Is this the tank or the

dress?

>> This is the tank.

I know I have little trimmings

to do, like grommets, buttons,

little things.

You're never gonna see this

detail.

So I'm nervous.

But I know that I could get it

done.

Oh, [Bleep]. No.

>> Hi.

>> I'm thinking really fresh,

clean, face.

>> We're gonna use some of the

color from the limited edition.

>> I love it.

>> Very androgynous.

>> If we make the brows really

thick and dark and really

masculine...

>> I'm excited.

>> My critique was that they

looked way too old.

My direction now is to look a

bit younger.

>> I'm gonna use this very

neutral beige.

>> Love it.

>> When I had my critique, they

really loved my styling.

It was very clean, very simple.

>> I would suggest mascara.

This is the false fiber lash.

It almost looks like they have

fake lashes on.

>> I love it.

>> Good morning, everyone.

How are you?

>> Hi.

>> I'm here to check in with

each of you about the progress

of your collection.

All right, Kimberly?

>> Yes.

>> I observed something on the

runway.

This has an ease and a flow

about it.

You turn it to the front.

It looks like it's been hammered

and nailed.

So what are you gonna do about

this?

>> I was gonna redo it in black,

but I didn't get the same

weight, so the volume is not

there.

>> So you're gonna make

revisions in the skirt?

>> Yes.

>> How are you going to be able

to not have it look like it's

all tortured and reworked?

>> Oh, I don't know.

>> Kimberly.

>> Kimberly's booty skirt is not

my favorite.

The silhouette is nothing that I

necessarily would tend to make,

drape, sew, and/or even try to

sell.

>> I have to do a new top to go

with this.

>> What are you using?

>> I don't know, because it's--

>> What do you mean, you don't

know?

>> I know. I know that scares

you--don't be scared.

>> 24 hours from now, it's over.

>> I know, I know.

I don't know because...

I ju--'cause I just...

>> I mean, this is a

make-it-work moment.

>> Yes.

>> I would just work it like

there's no tomorrow.

>> Yeah.

>> All right.

I'm gonna leave you.

>> Anya.

>> Hi, Tim.

>> So...

>> I did what you said, and I

pulled things that I randomly

love, and I ended up buying all

these much more graphic black

and whites.

I feel much more myself in this

vein.

But 100%, it's not my best work.

You know, between you and I,

I've had an incredibly rewarding

experience.

And I'm very humbled by an

experience that has been very

confusing for me.

But it's okay.

And as much as I would prefer

not to be showing at such a big

event with such trepidation, I

really let go of that, that I

can move forward and continue to

grow.

>> Anya surprised me when she

said to Tim a little bit like,

"I'm saying my good-byes."

It sounded to me a little bit

like she's preparing herself.

>> 24 hours from now...

>> Yeah?

>> It's done.

>> Exactly.

>> So spice it up, and you're

doing that.

>> Okay.

>> Okay, Anya.

>> Thank you, Tim.

>> Thank you.

>> Okay.

>> You're gonna be happy how

much I edited, just to clean it

up and make it look more--

>> Meaning those are gone?

>> Yeah, these are gone, and

this one might be gone after we

talk about it.

I'm taking the route to take

two of my prints out.

>> Your adorable vest?

>> Yeah.

It's more of the silhouette that

I'm looking at.

>> This is my gown.

I wanted to switch it from this

one.

>> I love the new black gown.

The only thing I would say

that I'm confused about is that

he's using this cheetah print,

and I just don't see where the

cheetah plays into this

beautiful print that he's made

himself.

>> All right.

What did you do with the Mood

opportunity?

>> What I found was this green

knit, which I've made into a

short now, which is replacing my

old short.

>> I think it looks really

peculiar.

Now that I'm seeing more of the

collection, there's a very

different vibe than what they

saw.

>> What's the vibe you have got?

>> Sophisticated woman who likes

something fresh and new and

still feels that she can go to

the four seasons for lunch.

>> Okay.

>> This isn't going to the Four

Seasons.

This is going downtown.

Think about it.

>> Okay, but...

It's like a linebacker

tackled me and and I'm like,

"Okay, where am I standing now?"

>> It's tough love.

>> No matter what happens, the

show must go on, and it's

happening tomorrow.

>> Coming up on Project Runway:

>> Are you panicking?

>> What's to panic about?

>> We're at Fashion Week!

It's anybody's game at this

point.

>> The critique with Tim has had

my mind spinning the past few

hours.

Once again, like, I'm confused

on the critique a little bit.

>> You are?

>> Yeah, I mean, 'cause, like,

this is what I have, you know.

>> Mm-hmm.

>> And this is how I had planned

to show it.

So, at this point, I think it's

more about trusting your gut and

going with it, because that will

make or break winning the

competition.

>> Are you panicking?

>> Am I panicking?

No, what's to panic about?

>> Really, right now, I have a

lot of a little bit to do.

I did a count--how many things

do you actually have that are

complete right now?

Said, one, two...

Two, one, two...

Two.

I may have to still do some

hems and put a waistband

and a zipper here and there.

But when you have to do that

across ten looks, it's a lot.

If it doesn't get done, I'll

try tomorrow.

>> Anya, is this one a new look?

Whew!

>> Girl, you makin' another

new one?

>> I have to.

I have probably more than ten

looks, but I don't have ten

looks that I want to show.

So at this point, I'm still

making new pieces.

>> What's your last look?

>> Well, if this is good enough,

it'll be this.

The judges have allowed me to

see that I am a Caribbean

designer, and this is my style.

A lot of sandals...

To kind of bring down the look a

bit.

I think that's what I should

be doing.

>> They're gonna say,

"Why this?"

You have this and then you have

this.

>> So are you gonna cut it?

>> I might.

I really want to show the judges

that I could edit.

I don't have to be emotionally

attached to these pieces,

even though I am.

I mean, I like the tail, but

whatever.

Whatevs.

It's a little bit painful, but

it has to be done.

And after this, I make my own

However I want.

>> Oh, this is beautiful.

>> Thank you.

>> I pictured because it was

short--you're the only one with

short hair, 'cause I'm kinda

gonna make you look like me.

>> This is the moment when

everything really starts to come

together.

And I'm just getting giddy, like

a child, because everything

looks really amazing.

So this is the piece I have to

make.

It was a jumper with the

drape in the front.

I'm basically--

>> That's not a good thing.

>> Remaking it in three hours,

but I can do it.

I think I bring something

innovative to the table,

something that you have to

really look at and discover the

amazing things that are within

them, even though they're so

bold in your face.

>> Can you pull that in a

centimeter?

I think that a fitting's

actually making me feel quite

good, because I am seeing the

garments in a whole different

way.

And the long, lean proportion is

just amazing for the garments.

And I'm happy about that.

>> It looks amazing on her.

Tomorrow is the day.

This is, for me, a dream.

This is, like, magical.

And it's just so cool, I just

cannot wait for everybody to see

it.

Lord of the mother

Rings.

>> It's the absolute last hour

of working in the workroom.

I am still cutting hems on the

dresses, and I have no other

methodology other than to lay

the dress on the floor.

I don't know if I'm gonna make

it, honestly.

I've made it so many other times

before with some crazy magic,

but I don't know this time.

>> The morning of the show,

Lincoln Center, is here.

And, as exhausted as we are,

we are awake.

>> I started doing this after my

brother died, and so it's always

about that for me.

To be showing my collection

that was inspired by my brother,

it's amazing.

>> I'm, first, nervous about the

whole coming out and saying

hello to the crowd.

>> Really?

>> Ohh. What am I gonna say?

There's a lot of balled-up

emotions right now, but

ultimately very happy feelings.

Because, I mean, who gets to

show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion

Week?

>> You'll be fine.

It's extremely rewarding to have

made it this far, to have worked

this hard, and to be extremely

proud of a collection that I'm

about to show hundreds of

people.

I've grown so much in terms of

an editing department, you know?

>> Mm-hmm.

>> I think it's gonna be a good

show all across the board.

>> Ready?

>> Ready as I'll ever be.

>> Right?

It's becoming more and more

obvious to me how much this

means to me.

It's hard to even imagine being

this close and not making it.

>> This is unreal.

>> It's real, 'cause it's

Lincoln Center.

Do you see the sign?

>> We all have made changes to

all of our collections, and it

evened the playing field.

It's anybody's game at this

point.

>> Look, guys.

We're at Fashion Week!

>> Take it in, ladies, 'cause

this is it.

>> Oh, my gosh.

>> Ooh!

>> This is amazing.

>> You guys, look how many seats

are in here.

>> Oh, my goodness, this place

is gonna be packed.

>> Finally, right?

>> Right?

The four of us are standing

there, like, in awe of this

moment, in awe of what we have

accomplished.

This is actually happening.

>> We better enjoy this now,

'cause this we'll be back here

going crazy.

Is it all good?

>> Kimberly.

>> Hi, Tim.

>> How are you?

>> Good. Excited.

>> Mwah.

>> It's chaotic backstage.

I need a zipper, I need a needle

and thread.

And I'm scrambling.

It's--it's not in here.

I don't know where my kit is.

I'm wigging out.

It's my kit.

It's everything I need.

>> Coming up on Project Runway

It's the big finale.

>> Designers.

We're walking the runway.

>> Pull it together.

>> This--it's not in here.

It's my kit.

It's everything I need.

You haven't seen me pissed off

yet until you've seen me at

Fashion Week without my kit.

>> Kimberly is freaking out

because she doesn't have her

tools.

>> I'm so pissed, it's beyond

words.

>> So I'm lending her whatever

she needs that she can finish up

her pieces.

>> And then can I borrow one of

your black threads?

>> Take one of these.

>> Ohh!

>> Just tell me whatever else

you need, okay?

>> All right, thanks.

>> Something wrong?

>> No, it looks beautiful.

>> Just fixing the fit of the

back.

>> Yeah.

>> It's like [bleep] New York

Fashion Week, people.

We're sewing people into

garments.

Pull it together.

>> How many more minutes do we

have?

'Cause I have to switch this.

That needs to be...

>> Viktor, this is it.

>> I know, I'm so stressed.

>> Do it, do it.

Switch it, switch it, switch it.

>> You want hands in pockets

here, or just one?

>> One is fine.

>> Kimberly, we're walking the

runway.

>> Hi, everybody!

>> It's the big finale of

Project Runway, Season Nine.

And so please give them a big

hand--they worked very ,very

hard, and they did a great job.

>> To my right is Michael Kors.

The lovely Nina Garcia.

And our guest judge today

is L'wren Scott.

Welcome.

Okay, everybody.

Enjoy the show.

Here we go.

>> This has been my dream, and

for it to come true, I'm very

pleased with myself and proud.

I'm thinking about my mom and my

brother right now.

This will be a proud moment for

them too.

I'm excited.

>> Hello.

Oh, my goodness.

This collection is, um, a

reflection of where I come from.

My inspiration is my mom.

I want to say thank you to the

world's best support system,

my friends and my sister.

I love you so much.

This is for you.

And I hope you enjoy it.

Thank you.

It feels like I'm at home

collection.

I cannot believe that all of

that came from me.

And everyone is here to see it.

>> How fabulous does this look?

>> This is stunning.

>> I love it.

I am overcome with joy, and

really, really pleased and proud

of myself that I did what I set

out to do.

>> This is such an

amazing moment for me, and I

Hello.

This collection, I'd like to

dedicate to my mother...

Who is not here

with us today, but, um...

Who has given me strength

through all of this.

I hope you enjoy.

Ohh, I think the cohesion and

the way it all works together is

done beautifully.

I think it really tells the

>> How gorgeous does this look?

>> It's so beautiful.

>> And it's not trying too hard.

>> Not at all.

>> That's the wonderful thing

about the whole collection.

Congratulations.

>> Thank you. Mmm.

>> It's extremely rewarding to

have made it this far, to have

worked this hard, and to be

extremely proud of a collection

that I've made.

I couldn't ask for a better

moment.

>> I'm about to show my

collection, and my heart is

beating, like, 500 miles per

hour.

I don't know--it's a little

intimidation, because there's so

many people out there.

And I feel like I'm gonna faint.

>> Oh, my God, this is such a

dream.

My collection was inspired on my

trips to Mexico.

That's where I'm from.

And I wanted to combine the city

that I love, which is New York

City.

You know, it's very personal.

I hope you guys enjoy it.

♪ ♪

Just watching the whole

collection evolving and walking

down the runway looks so cool.

I'm very proud of every single

look.

They very much represent me.

>> How thrilled are you?

>> I am--I am awed.

I can't...my God.

>> How fabulous is this?

>> I want people to go on a

journey and experience what I

was trying to say with my

clothing.

I just kind of want to let them

speak for themselves.

>> My heart is pounding.

I just don't feel like this

could possibly be real.

It feels incredible.

Thank you so very much for

coming.

I'm presenting a collection

called Tobago love, inspired by

the Caribbean, where I'm from.

I'd like to thank my parents so

much for being here all the way

from Trinidad.

And I want to dedicate this to

my brother Pilar, whose life has

inspired me to follow my dream.

Please enjoy the show.

♪ ♪

I can't believe this was me!

Like, I can't believe I made

these things, and they look

beautiful.

The girls look beautiful.

The whole vibe, I feel so great.

Everything feels very easy.

>> Exactly.

And they're gonna be thrilled

with this transformation.

>> You think so?

>> Yeah. No, you should feel

very proud.

>> Thank you.

Overall, I'm very, very

pleased, and just excited to be

here and to be doing this.

It's an amazing feeling.

>> Anya, spectacular.

>> My makeup is gonna run.

>> Anya was my favorite.

I just loved the Caribbean feel.

It just felt very feminine and

beautiful.

>> She really hit it on the

mark.

The silhouettes were beautiful,

they were flowing, they were

very sexy.

>> Hi, buddy.

>> How are you?

>> Although I don't like his

personality, I like Josh's

collection.

>> I think Josh is trying to say

something with his clothes.

>> I like this mix of the color.

I like the neoprene.

You know me--if it ain't

colorful, I ain't even seein'

it.

>> I'm so proud of you.

>> I'm actually really surprised

by Kimberly.

Her collection was impressive.

A lot of looks that I would

wear.

>> I love Kim's choice of color.

She really knows what women want

to wear.

>> I would wear most of the

pieces she made.

>> Oh, my God, it was so

beautiful.

>> Viktor was exquisite.

Creative, fresh, new.

>> I really liked Viktor's

prints.

There was kind of like a

bondagey sort of theme as well,

with his black leather and

straps.

>> Viktor's had some really

great pieces.

That number nine jacket, I would

buy that in a heartbeat.

>> It is a tough call, I have to

say, yeah.

I'm glad I'm not one of the

judges.

>> Coming up on Project Runway:

I really like the vibe of your

collection.

>> You can push it even more.

>> I was very impressed.

>> Most improved.

>> Thank you, Nina.

>> Who doesn't want to be that

girl?

>> Designers, I want to say

again how proud of all of you we

are.

Each of you put on an amazing

show, but only one of you can be

the winner of Project Runway.

Let's bring out your models.

Okay, Kimberly, tell us about

your inspiration and your

collection.

>> Being an urban girl, what I

wanted to do with the collection

was show how we can take urban

into a fashion-forward glam

sensibility.

So I just infused what I see

just to lead girls in urban a

little bit in fashion and give

them something a little

elevated.

>> First off, you managed to

listen to everything we said the

other day, but still hold on to

Kimberly.

I like this pink dress very

much, but I like the idea that

it was this ladylike dress that

was surprisingly hot, with the

cutout.

That black gown was killer

diller.

The only thing that kind of

bothered me, you had this very

fabulous, printed, floaty dress.

The fuchsia under-dress kind of

killed the fluidity of the

dress.

>> Mm-hmm.

>> 'Cause the dress was great.

I mean, you're all about

exuberance, glamour, and the

kick-ass attitude.

You want to keep that.

>> Yes.

>> I mean, that's you.

>> I loved when I saw the little

lame miniskirt, and it was sort

of like hyper-glamour urban,

which I thought was really

exciting.

I love the pink dress.

I thought, "Wow, I could really

see that on a Hollywood

starlet."

>> Can we see the back of this

dress?

>> Mm-hmm.

>> I'm curious.

>> Oh.

>> Fabulous.

>> That's a fabulous dress.

>> Even more exciting without

the jacket.

>> It's hot.

>> Thank you.

>> My favorite was the ivory

pants and the ivory blouse.

I would have loved to have seen

more of that kind of stuff,

because I feel like that is who

you are.

I love the pants that you had

here last time.

The black dress.

I mean, you fixed a lot of the

things I had problems with

last time.

>> I tried to listen.

>> You had the big volume on the

bubble skirt, and then you had

the cream jacket with it, and it

was also very puffy up here.

>> It was bubblicious.

>> It was bubblicious all over

the place, you know.

I feel like, if the skirt is

bubbly, I don't know.

Maybe a tighter top.

I do like the little peek-a-boo

things.

You kind of could see that

throughout.

And I like that idea.

I thought that was great.

>> Thank you.

>> You did a great job in

changing things around.

Particularly with the backless

look.

That top with the black skinny

pants looked contemporary,

looked right, looked fantastic.

What I like the most about your

design, Kimberly, is that you

have the ability to take

something like this wonderful

blue metallic, which is a rich

fabric, and make it very easy

and very modern.

And I would have liked to see

more of that.

But I loved your finale dress.

>> Thank you, Nina.

>> Joshua.

>> Well, I really wanted to

display what I'm all about in

terms of my tailoring meets my

draping.

And I'm learning to play with,

you know, new ideas.

But in an edited version, in

many ways.

>> I liked your collection a

lot.

I totally got your point of

view of the merger of soft and

hard.

Each piece has a lot of

interest, but it's not too crazy

that you can't wear it.

I also like that psychedelic

print that you had.

It's a really cool and gutsy

print to do.

I like those green shorts.

They were a little wild.

But it worked.

>> You like a lot.

You're a lot.

Kind of like a schizophrenic.

You were, like, slapping your

own hand.

And, boy, it served you well.

The clothes are very designed

and beautifully made.

You don't need all the

histrionics.

I think that your editing was

really, really well done.

I know it's a battle for you.

I was afraid we were gonna get a

blue eyebrow or God knows, you

know?

And you really, really held back

and let your work shine.

>> From the dress opening the

show, which was so beautifully

draped and interesting, to the

final dress, I was very

impressed.

Your use of materials is very

interesting.

And I think you have a complete

vision that's very yours,

and you tell a story which makes

sense from beginning to end.

So congratulations.

I thought it all looked really

great.

>> Thank you.

>> I think most improved.

>> Thank you.

>> I like the collection very

much.

It was very editorial.

If I saw this show, I would be

very interested, I would want to

see more.

Those green shorts, to be

completely honest with you, when

i saw them down the runway, I

wasn't too convinced.

But when I see it shot, I want

to photograph them.

I think that would look great.

And I like the fact that you

experiment with new materials.

>> Thank you.

>> You know, the neoprene thing

and the plastic are both

materials that can look very

gimmicky and very kind of like,

"Oh, God, who wants to wear

that?"

And you made it look believable

that a woman shopping in a store

would say, "Okay, you know what?

I'll give plastic or neoprene a

go."

>> Yeah, good point.

>> That's great.

>> Viktor.

>> My inspiration is marrying

Mexico, where I come from, and

also the city that I love,

New York.

It's kind of like a beach girl

meets city.

I tried a lot to kind of sexify

it and make it more younger and

youthful.

And I also like that rock and

roll girl, 'cause I think

everybody has that rock and roll

in them.

>> I'm loving the printed

pieces.

They really, really are

fantastic.

When I look at these motocross

pants and I look at that sharp

dress that you opened with,

there's a sense of tailoring and

polish that's very you.

Where you lost me a bit was too

much of this transparency.

A little bit like a runway joke.

You know, it's on a 19-year-old

model, and she's a size two,

and, wow, she can walk out in

her underwear, showing it.

Isn't that great?

But just walking around like

that?

But the prints were great, and I

think the tailored pieces were

stellar.

>> Thank you.

>> You had me at the first look.

It was great.

It was so well constructed.

You execute beautifully, which I

was really impressed with.

I loved the long dress with the

print in the front.

I could really see some young

Hollywood actress wearing that

and looking fabulously tall and

glamorous.

I wasn't really a fan of the

sheer dress.

It doesn't always have to be on

display.

Sometimes a little to the

imagination can be exciting too.

Overall, as a collection, I

thought it really made sense.

I thought it had a very cool

vibe, and it was very you and

very cohesive to what I've seen

you do this season, which were

some really beautiful, amazing

clothes, so...

Congratulations.

>> Thank you.

>> You had a lot of pieces that

I liked.

The pant with the mirror top and

with the jacket, I thought that

looked amazing.

I love the gown.

That is a beautiful, beautiful

dress.

But then it's almost like you

showed us two shows.

One is like this hard kind of

bitchy girl...a lot of

see-through, super-sexy.

To me, it reads a little cheap.

So for me, I was a little bit

like that.

But I did love a lot of your

pieces.

>> Thank you.

>> I loved what you did with the

printed pieces.

That's something that we would

shoot.

That's something the editors

would be inspired by.

The four pieces that you did in

black chiffon were a missed

opportunity.

It would have been interesting

to see the printed with the

chiffon.

>> Mm-hmm.

>> But the pieces that you did

make, especially the first one,

was absolutely fabulous.

I even love the little beaded

top--very editorial.

This is what we're looking for:

Special pieces, pieces that will

photograph well.

So good job.

>> Anya, tell us about your

inspiration and your collection.

>> The initial inspiration for

me was a trip to Tobago.

I was very inspired by the

general vibe of the island.

The colors, the textures, and

the ease of living there and the

way that we dress--an easy,

sexy vibe.

>> I really like the vibe of

your collection.

>> Thank you.

>> Who doesn't wanna be that

girl?

You pick a lot of amazing

fabrics.

And even though they're all

different, they all kind of

work.

But then, when I think about the

construction side of it, you

didn't have to do as much as

others had to do, you know.

So I'm thinking, like, is that

okay?

Out of ten looks, eight have the

same neckline.

>> In your instance, it was,

"Oh, my God, I want to make this

print statement."

So you probably did sacrifice

diversity in the shapes.

But then you showed all the

prints.

I have to tell you, you had my

favorite opener.

It was cut fabulously.

To cut clothes that are plunged,

it really takes the right skill.

And it was sexy without being

slutty.

It had...

>> Moved.

>> Movement, glamour, and I love

this dress.

It's got some edge, but it's

still got a boho vibe.

It's got both.

You can push it even more.

I know you can.

>> Yeah.

>> And the one thing I have to

say about the Caribbean thing,

you are gonna have to be

cognizant of the fact that

not everyone's in a caftan...

floating around the world at all

times.

So variety is important.

>> Yes.

>> I thought your use of print

was really spectacular.

The brown dress belted was

really amazing.

It looked so interestingly

constructed.

I was sort of struggling, like,

what would I wear in the city?

I can't wear the plunge.

Sometimes you have to think

about it working for lots of

different types of women.

But I thought you did a really

beautiful job.

So congratulations.

>> I like the collection very

much.

You are fabulous with prints.

I loved the bathing suit.

I mean, it's phenomenal.

Your clothes are very you.

I wish I would see some pieces

that could translate into a more

urban atmosphere.

Think about it more on the

retailer side.

>> Okay.

>> I was worried the last time

you were up here.

>> Yeah.

>> There was one piece out of

three that most of us liked.

>> Yeah.

>> The two pieces, we were

really, like, "Ooh, what did she

make?"

And you really turned it around.

Why should you win

Project Runway?

>> I feel I've demonstrated a

tremendous amount of tenacity

and development, and what I

began with and I still have is

that distinct point of view.

>> Joshua, what about you?

>> In terms of learning to edit

myself personally shows that

I'm willing to move forward with

this and start my journey as a

designer and bring great,

innovative ideas to this

industry.

>> Viktor.

>> I have passion for it.

I really wanna continue.

I admire Christian Siriano, how

he took it and made a big label.

And I want to do similar.

I really appreciate everything I

learned here.

I really love the experience.

>> Kimberly, why should you win

Project Runway?

>> I think my point of view is

clear and is not represented

much in fashion, because it's

personal to me.

I think that I would represent

you guys really well as the

winner, just having that

different point of view.

>> We're gonna have a long chat,

and when I call you back, I will

announce the winner of

Project Runway.

You can leave the runway.

Thank you.

>> Thank you.

>> Thank you.

>> Oh, my God.

Whew.

I don't know what they're gonna

do.

>> I don't.

>> They still have a very tough

decision.

>> Yeah.

>> I'm very proud of us.

>> I am.

>> I am too.

It's like Heidi said.

We all had a roller coaster.

Up and down.

And that's the best thing about

it is ending up on that high.

>> It really was a high point.

>> I know.

>> So where do we start?

>> Well, I think Kimberly had a

lot of great clothes, but I

don't know if it made for a

great collection.

But I think there are a lot

of great individual pieces.

>> Yeah, I thought she had a

really clear point of view.

>> There is not a lot of that

out there.

>> Yeah, she has something

different to say.

>> And it's a female voice

as well, which is different.

>> Absolutely.

>> And it's urban, and she's

cool, and I thought that her

clothes looked really great,

aside from those few kind of

clunky mistakes.

>> Listen, the black gown at the

end is a fabulous gown.

>> Fabulous.

>> Sexy, sophisticated.

When she took the jacket off of

this pink dress, it was great.

>> That was a great dress.

>> I think she's a very good

designer, but I think she needs

a little more time.

>> Plus, we always compare.

It is a competition, and maybe

the other designers are just a

little bit better in this

instance.

>> Her clothes were great, but

she's not there yet.

>> Let's talk about Viktor.

>> Great tailoring, beautifully

made.

I don't know that it was really

a perfectly connected fashion

show.

I think there was some wonderful

clothes there, but I think there

was definitely, you know, hills

and valleys.

>> For me, it was too put

together.

One was really over-the-top

sexy, super-see-through, all

black.

>> Mm-hmm.

>> And the other collection was

very sophisticated, beautiful

prints, tailored.

>> There are some pieces in this

collection that I'm in love

with.

I want that little dress.

>> I love that dress.

>> I mean, it's beautiful.

>> It's great!

When I look at the printed pant,

the mirrored tank, and the black

jacket, all three pieces on

their own are spectacular, and

the combination together...

>> Is fabulous.

>> Is perfect.

>> Fabulous.

Sadly, he had four missed

opportunities here with the

black.

But he has done some really

beautiful, exceptionally great

clothes.

>> Is he ready?

>> I do think he could start his

own brand.

>> Yes, if you can picture a

woman who's an adult...

>> Yeah.

>> Not feeling like an old lady

in the clothes.

And that's commercially

successful.

>> Anya.

>> Two days ago, we hate two out

of three of the looks.

She had an identity crisis.

In two days, full about-face.

>> She does everything, like,

last-minute.

>> She learned how to sew at the

last minute and pulled the

rabbit out of the hat.

>> In four months.

>> Tim went to see her at home.

She hadn't done a single thing.

>> What?

>> Oh, really?

>> So how good is she performing

under pressure?

How often do we have to perform

miracles under pressure?

>> All the time.

She found those black and white

prints at the last minute.

They didn't look like they were

added to me at all.

>> She has good taste.

>> She has taste, she has style.

>> She has good taste.

>> I agree with you about the

necklines.

You know, it was a v-neck fest.

>> Maybe she has potential to

really evolve even more.

>> She is so gifted, and she's

got such great eye for patterns.

That's what she's good at.

>> She might need to have

more variety and realize not

everyone, you know, can go

braless and wear something

plunging.

>> I wish she would have layered

it a little bit more.

Maybe a lightweight sweater or

something to not just do dress,

dress, dress, dress.

>> I get it.

>> Turn the volume up a little

bit more.

>> While I think it was a little

bit one-note, it certainly

wasn't hills and valleys, where

you said, "Oh, where did that

come from?"

>> She is her brand.

She's cool, she looks the part.

>> But I think women who design

clothes, you are your brand.

>> Yeah.

>> So what do you think her next

collection will look like?

Or the collection after that?

>> I trust that she's smart

enough to be able to do it.

>> Let's move on to Josh.

>> Absolutely.

>> I think he did a fantastic

job too.

>> When you think about this

guy who has such a tendency to

over-design everything...this

was a focused show...

with gorgeous tailoring.

The clothes were interesting.

The prints were fun.

The styling was really cohesive.

>> Very. I mean, probably the

best styling was his.

>> Definitely.

>> And this is somebody that

came from the worst styling.

>> Did you ever think that we

were going to say that?

>> No, never.

>> Never in a million years.

>> He just bedazzles himself,

but not his models.

>> But not the models.

>> And it was a gutsy show.

>> Oh, very.

>> It wasn't safe.

>> No, wasn't safe, but it--

>> We could have really...

>> Could have been a freak show.

>> Gone and been like, "Oh, we

hate the green.

We hate the print."

>> The neoprene, the plastic.

>> Well, he took neoprene and

plastic and made them actually

desirable.

On the other hand, that foray in

the middle with the sad jacket

and putting the striped top

under it, that was a little--

threw me off.

>> Well, that was, like, his one

misstep, really.

>> Yeah, the rest of it was so--

>> Yeah, strong.

>> Solid, yes.

>> Solid, real solid.

>> Solid collection.

>> He's gutsy.

>> He has a lot of ideas.

Maybe too many ideas.

But he's got ideas!

In a way, Anya, has a more

unique point of view.

>> I can picture what an Anya

bag, an Anya shoe, an Anya piece

of jewelry might look like.

And that tells me that she has

the potential to have a serious

business with a serious

following.

On the other hand, Josh's

clothes today, was there more

design to them, more tailoring,

more work, more thought?

Yes.

>> Absolutely, there was.

No question.

>> It was very tough, but do you

think that we've made our

decision?

>> I think so.

>> All right, let's bring them

back out.

There are no losers here today.

But only one of you can be the

winner.

>> There are no losers here

today, but only one of you can

be the winner.

Viktor, your tailoring and

polish was impeccable as always.

Your printed looks, in

particular, they were fantastic.

You did a great job.

>> Thank you.

>> Anya, you used the last

couple of days to return to your

strength.

Your easy and effortless style

is true to who you are as a

designer.

Joshua, your collection was

fresh, interesting, and cool.

You've had one of the most

dramatic evolutions here on

Project Runway.

Kimberly, your sexy, modern

point of view came across very

strong and clear.

You had some amazing ideas,

and you know who you are as a

designer.

You did a great job here today.

But I'm sorry, you're out.

>> Thank you so, so much.

So much.

I'm really honored and humbled

by this experience.

Thank you.

>> We really enjoyed having you

here.

You can leave the runway.

>> Thank you.

Like we have been saying all

along, we are already winners to

have shown at Fashion Week.

And I truly felt it in that

moment.

>> I'm here, right?

I'm grateful that I made it all

the way.

People got to see who I am as a

designer.

And I have made my statement

to--to the industry.

>> We're so proud of you.

>> I hope you are,

'cause I...

>> You have to know that.

You have to know that.

>> Viktor...

I'm sorry, you're out.

But we know that you have a

great future ahead of you.

>> Thank you so much.

This has been an experience of

my lifetime.

I grew so much as a person and

as a designer.

Thank you.

I'm definitely disappointed

because I'm such a competitive

person.

I really wanted to win.

I'm very proud and confident

with my garments.

I think that they all represent

me.

>> Oh, God, no.

Ohh.

>> Whether I won the $100,000,

that would have been the cherry

on top.

But ultimately, I got the whole

ice cream, so it doesn't matter.

>> You know you're amazing.

>> Don't cry--be happy.

I am--I'm happy.

>> Anya...Joshua...

One of you will be the winner of

Project Runway.

Anya...

Congratulations!

You are the winner of

Project Runway!

Oh, my God.

>> Good job.

You too.

>> Joshua...You did a really

great job, and it was a very,

very tough decision.

>> Thank you.

>> I'm sorry, you're out.

>> I come in second, and it's a

little bit of a shock value.

I feel as though I had the

stronger collection.

But I wouldn't deny that her

collection was extremely

beautiful.

Not sewn amazingly well.

>> Josh...

>> Joshua...

>> It's disheartening, because I

worked extremely hard and it was

a very emotional process.

I can only pray that my phone

starts to ring and it's just not

my collectors calling me, asking

for money.

>> Mom would be right there with

you.

>> Yes, she would.

>> She said follow your dreams.

>> You're doing it.

>> You are.

>> Don't worry.

Don't worry.

First-day audition, who would

have thought then that you would

stand here today...

>> No one. Not me.

>> As the winner of

Project Runway?

>> You know that I owe almost

100% of that to you.

Because I know that you stood

behind me.

I know that you believed in me.

I know I wouldn't be standing

Nina, and Michael proud.

>> Thank you, L'wren.

>> Shall we bring out your

family?

>> Bring them out.

Come on out, family.

Your girl is a winner.

>> Ohh.

In one day, I've shown at New

York Fashion Week, and I've won

Project Runway.

It's kind of too much to deal

with all at once.

>> Did you ever write this

scenario?

>> No.

>> Did you? No!

I don't know you didn't.

>> Not even in my wildest

dreams, I'm--

I am so proud of you.

She's a winner too.

Come on out!

>> Sveta!

>> Oh, you deserve it.
