09x14 - Finale, Part 2

Post by bunniefuu »

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.

[Gasps]
four people still in the

Game.

If you weren't this beautiful,
I'd be pissed off right now.

This is project runway.

The winner of project runway
will receive $100,000 from

L'oreal paris to start their own
line...

A fashion spread in marie claire
magazine...

A $50,000 technology suite from
hp and intel to enable their

Creativity and run their
business, and the opportunity to

Design and sell an exclusive
collection on piperlime.com.

The model paired with the winner
of project runw will receive a

Fashion spread in marie claire
magazine and $25,000 from

L'oreal paris studio secrets
professional.

[Thunder]
it hasn't hit you like this.

It's crazy.

Yeah, I mean, yesterday was
insane.

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?

Bye, hudson.

We love you.

Bye!

Good morning, everyone.

Good morning, tim.

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.

[Laughter]
oh, my god, that is a gift.

Seriously.

So you can do whatever you
want with this opportunity.

Thanks, tim.

Ohh.

You could do anything with
it.

But do we have the time for
all the stuff I wanna change?

My strategy is, whatever pops
out of me, I'm buying it.

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.

Designers, you have two
minutes remaining.

Spend, spend, spend.

Hey!



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.

Hey, anya!

I just want it to look very
easy.

I'm gonna use your personal
favorite.

Oh, you remember.

Surf hair.

What I'm trying to find is
that rock-and-roll girl.

They loved my styling
yesterday.

Ponytail.

Yeah.

Severe.

Kind of...yeah.

Tomorrow is the day.

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.

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.

[Laughter]
I observed something on the

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.



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.

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.

Okay.

Okay, anya.

Thank you, tim.

Thank you.

Okay.

This is my gown.

I wanted to switch it from this
one.

Now that I'm seeing more of the
collection, there's a very

Different vibe than what they
saw.

Think about it.

Okay,

It's like a linebacker
tackled me and and I'm like,

Anya, is this one a new look?

Whew!

Girl, you makin' another
new one?

I have to.

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

Lord of the mother [bleep]
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.

[Alarm buzzing]
the morning of the show,

Lincoln center, is here.

And, as exhausted as we are,
we are awake.

This is unreal.

It's real, 'cause it's
lincoln center.

Do you see the sign?

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.

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.

[Cheers and applause]
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.

[Applause]
to my right is michael kors.

[Applause]
to my right is michael kors.

[Applause]
the lovely nina garcia.

[Applause]
and our guest judge today

Is l'wren scott.

Welcome.

[Applause]
okay, everybody.

Enjoy the show.

Here we go.

[Cheers and applause]
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.

[Applause]
[upbeat music]


It feels like I'm at home


It feels like I'm at home

Watching somebody else's
collection.

I cannot believe that all of
that came from me.

And everyone is here to see it.

I am overcome with joy, and
really, really pleased and proud

Of myself that I did what I set
out to do.

[Applause]
[cheers and applause]

[Cheers and applause]
hello.

This collection, I'd like to
dedicate to my mother...

[Choking up] who is not here
with us today, but, um...

Who has given me strength
through all of this.

I hope you enjoy.

[Cheers and applause]
[upbeat music]


Ohh, I think the cohesion and

The way it all works together is
done beautifully.

I think it really tells the
story of the clothing, of the

Colors, and of the evolution of
what this collection is supposed

To be about.

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.

[Cheers and applause]
[cheers and applause]

[Cheers and applause]
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.

[Upbeat music]


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.

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.

[Cheers and applause]
[cheers and applause]

[Cheers and applause]
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.

[Upbeat music]


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.

Overall, I'm very, very
pleased, and just excited to be

Here and to be doing this.

It's an amazing feeling.

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.

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.

Okay, kimberly, tell us about
your inspiration and

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.

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 k*ller
diller.

The only thing that kind of
bothered me, you had this very

Fabulous, printed, floaty dress.

The fuchsia under-dress kind of
k*lled the fluidity of the

Dress.

Mm-hmm.

'Cause the dress was great.

I mean, you're all about
exuberance, glamour, and the

Kick-a*s 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."

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.

You did a great job in
changing things around.

Particularly with the backless
look.

That top with the black skinny
pants looked contemporary,

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.

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."

Viktor.

My inspiration is marrying
mexico, where I come from, and

Also the city that I love,
new york.

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
sh**t.

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?

[Laughter]
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 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.

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.

I think she's a very good
designer, but I think she needs

A little more time.

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.

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.

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?

All: 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.

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.

[Gasps]
I'm here, right?

[Gasps]
I'm here, right?

[Laughter]
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.

[Crying] 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.

[Suspenseful music]


Anya...

Congratulations!

You are the winner of
project runway!

[Laughing] oh, my god.

[Crying] oh, my god.

[Whispering] good job.

Thank you.

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.

[Hinges creaks]
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.

[Gasps]
you did it, girl.

[Gasps]
you did it, girl.

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


Because I know that you stood
behind me.

I know that you believed in me.

I know I wouldn't be standing
here without your confidence.

Well, you deserve it.

What an absolute dream come
true.

Thank you.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

It's a turning point in my life.

And I will never, ever, ever be
able to forget this moment.

for me to watch.

And this is just the beginning.

[Indistinct chatter]

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'm so proud of you.

never knew were there.

I'm one giant step closer to
creating a brand that is mine

And that I love, and it's a--
really a dream come true.
