Runway Finale: Fan Favorite Christian Takes the Win
It is with bittersweet tenacity that I watched the season finale of Project Runway this last hour. Of course this is the moment that I have been waiting for all season - to find out who would win and to see the top three fabulous catwalk collections - but as it comes to an end I am reminded that this is the last Wednesday evening where I can enjoy new episodes of both America’s Next Top Model and Project Runway.
But enough stalling (and whining) already.
CHRISTIAN WON!
Christian, with his mere 21 years, will receive a grand prize package that begins with an editorial feature in an issue of ELLE magazine. He will also walk away with a cash prize of $100,000 from TRESemmé professional hair care to start his own line, and will have the opportunity to sell a fashion line on Bluefly.com. Saturn gave him a 2008 three-door, Saturn Astra, too.
The biggest prize of all, however, was probably guest judge Victoria Beckham - who he all but declared his love for - saying that she was “such a huge fan” and would be honored to wear anything that he made anytime.
There was foreshadowing to Christian as the winner including: his being the headlining designer; his collection had voiceover and backstage footage during the episode, and the others had none; and photographs of his fashions were leaked onto the Internet before tonight’s airing. Even though, I never gave up hope that Rami had a chance … that is until Heidi said:
“The winner of Project Runway
season four is … CHRISTIAN!”
