"Project Runway" Finale: That's Fierce



Christian was named the "Project Runway" winner in last night’s big finale. His win didn’t come as much of a shock – Christian proved countless times throughout the season that he has major talent (and attitude). His goth-like, feather-covered collection was dramatic and impressive as usual.

The episode did include two major surprises:

1) Victoria Beckham cracked a smile! As the celebrity guest judge, Beckham told Christian that his collection made her smile. “And it’s not easy to make me smile.” Thanks, Posh. We hadn’t noticed that. By the end of the episode, though, she reverted back to her scowling ways – she looked incredibly uncomfortable with all the joy and intimacy when Christian’s family came to congratulate him.

2) Before his big win, Christian was nervous. The pod person that took over Christian’s body complemented the other designers’ work and said he cared what Jillian and Rami thought. There were glimmers of the real Christian throughout the episode, though (my personal favorite: Christian tells a model, “Be really skinny. Don’t eat), and by the end of the episode he was completely back to normal. After he is announced as the winner, Tim asks him, “Do you believe it.” Christian blurts, “Yea.” Now, that’s more like it.
