And the Winner is...

I could not believe that Christian won Project Runway! Granted, Mr. Fierce did manage to put together an incredibly cohesive collection, but it was so dark. Almost all his clothes were black and dark brown. He used a light tan as an accent. Even the judges felt that all the black was overwhelming and that anyone from the third row on back would miss all the details of his clothes. Personally, I felt that he had the same hang-up as Chris (who was eliminated) and that his line bordered on costume.

However, I did feel there existed a couple positives to his work. His look had the androgynous nature of Goth while also putting in feminine touches which make it fall into the romantic category. To achieve both of those simultaneously is no easy feat. Christian's feather work on all the shoes of his models were nothing short of amazing. And his final dress was coated in the same detail.

It was Jillian I was desperately rooting for. Each clothing item she presented was gorgeous and feminine and her work was unique. Everything she made showed her unique perspective on fashion while still paying homage to history. Some of her sweaters I had never seen the like of before. The culmination of her collection was the most gorgeous dress. The way it floats and flows around the body of the model makes it airy despite its darker style. I wish her collection as a whole had been as strong.

Unfortunately, I agreed with the judges when they said her line as a whole lacked the cohesion of her competitors. Each outfit individually showed more skill, but collectively, they lacked the foresight of the other designers.
