Christian Siriano Wins Project Runway

Posted on March 5, 2008

Christian Siriano just won Project Runway and we have to say he deserved it. His collection was very British, very fashion-forward and had lovely details. The guest judge, Victoria Beckham, thought it was "may-jah" and it was -- majorly fierce.

She said she'd wear everything in the collection and it would be an honor to do so (Christian about passed out in excitement at that). In fact we thought our beloved Posh was going to rush the runway and grab the outfit off the model. She made sure to re-affirm that she would set things up so she could wear one of his outfits, which is pretty cool.

Rami had an uneven collection. We didn't care for his color palette -- neither did Michael Kors. His day looks didn't work for us. His evening wear was absolutely stunning, but they never pick the evening wear designer on this show. Remember Austin Scarlett? Remember Laura, who had one of the sublime evening collections we've seen? All hand-beading and sophisticated, dramatic looks? No win for her.

Jillian was surprisingly good. Her collection was like a fashion forward, funky Ralph Lauren collection (she worked at Ralph Lauren). It was well-tailored, yet funky and fresh. Kors loved her knitwear, but Nina Garcia thought she hadn't found her "look." We think Jillian did better than Rami, overall. She had two pleated gorgeous evening looks, as well as day wear. But this is Christian's time and he really is a talent.

It's all over now, alas. But next up is Top Chef -- which premiers in the same timeslot next Wednesday night on Bravo.
