00:00We're mourning this morning because my Jarelli's gone.
00:12It was between Jarelli and I to go home, and it was him, and my heart breaks for him.
00:17It really does.
00:18Henley, we gotta go.
00:20It's a runway first to have all three women in the finale, and it's pretty awesome.
00:26But I'm going to be a fighter until I'm the last one standing on that stage.
00:32Oh, Ronnie?
00:34Yeah, yeah, we're ready.
00:35The door's open.
00:37Good morning, everyone, and congratulations to our final three.
00:54I am so proud of you all.
00:57I have two important announcements to make.
00:59The first is the runway show at Bryant Park.
01:03You will each be presenting ten whoops.
01:07So you'll need to edit two before the show.
01:10All right.
01:11And I am sending you to do model casting right now, okay?
01:16So I'm disappearing, and so are you.
01:19All right?
01:20Choose wisely.
01:21Hey, hey, let's go get some models.
01:25Let's not fight.
01:26Let's go get the right girl for the right outfit.
01:38All right, there's her hair.
01:40I need girls with hair because I'm trying to do these big Asian buns.
01:43No, I called her!
01:48How tall are you?
01:50Almost six foot.
01:52Oh, I got her.
01:53I am her.
01:55I think I might go for that alien-looking girl.
01:58I kind of like that alien-ish look.
02:02She's soft, too.
02:03But your stuff is really soft.
02:05It's really annoying when Kenley is telling me which models I should pick.
02:10Focus on your own models.
02:12We all know who you are!
02:13Let's see that walk of yours.
02:19Are you guys going to fight over her?
02:20She's going.
02:22I'm going to try to get her.
02:23She better not act up or anything.
02:25I put stuff.
02:33Hi, everybody.
02:34Hello.
02:36I'm here to get a sense of your collections.
02:40Oh.
02:40You ready for me, Kenley?
02:42Yeah.
02:43I'm just deciding what pieces to get rid of.
02:46Yeah, because you go from 12 to 10.
02:49I know.
02:49Let's talk about it look by look.
02:51This is kind of like the Victorian, kind of queen, structured.
02:55I guess I'm perplexed how this rope strangles the organic nature of what's happening here.
03:02For me, it begs the question, why this rope at all?
03:04It looks arbitrary.
03:05It looks contrived.
03:07I have to disagree with that.
03:09I'm sorry.
03:10All right.
03:10All right.
03:11Tim doesn't like the rope.
03:13I do.
03:13So I'm leaving it.
03:14My decisions are final, and I'm done with it.
03:17Your signature model is?
03:20Tapasio is wearing the wedding dress.
03:22So you know that means that this goes before the judges back at Parsons.
03:27Yeah, which they loved it, so I'm not worried about it.
03:30Is that your interpretation from yesterday?
03:32That wasn't yours?
03:33No.
03:34What was it then?
03:35I knew that they marveled at your execution, but...
03:38That they called me a knockoff?
03:40Yeah.
03:40Well, they've done that four times to me already, and I'm sick of it.
03:44It's insulting, and I did not take my work from anyone else.
03:48All right.
03:48Just own responsibility for the decision.
03:51All right.
03:51Thanks.
03:52Thank you, Kenley.
03:57Tato.
03:57Hi, Tim.
03:58Hi.
03:59So this is 11 looks?
04:02What is that one?
04:0711.
04:08So what goes?
04:09This.
04:10Oh, you're not counting the bridesmaid dress.
04:12Oh, okay.
04:12Heidi says she wouldn't be caught dead in the bridesmaid dress or the wedding dress, but...
04:17I love my wedding dress.
04:18This is where editing becomes very, very challenging.
04:21Yeah, it does.
04:22It worries me.
04:22You think I should check it?
04:23I wouldn't dream of telling you.
04:26I have to make some hard decisions.
04:28Do I keep my wedding dress and just be hard-headed and say, you know what, I love it.
04:33I don't care if you like it.
04:34I think at the end of the day, we just have to do things that we just love and feel in our gut and just take it.
04:38I mean, I have to stand by this collection and love it.
04:40You have to just think about this.
04:43Thank you, Kato.
04:45Leanne, how are you?
04:46Hi, Tim.
04:47I'm good.
04:48So what do you envision going before the judges?
04:51I just can't decide which one.
04:55And I still have another piece to edit out.
04:58My least favorite, it's this with a pair of pants that still needs some more finishing.
05:03It's my only pair of pants that I have in the collection.
05:08I mean, I want to encourage you to have a pant.
05:10Yeah, they need more work.
05:13There's a lot left for me to do and a lot left for me to figure out.
05:16It needs to be perfect.
05:18And, you know, I've got some more work to do in order to get it perfect.
05:22Thank you, Leanne.
05:24Um, Tim, I could do the wedding dress last in my runway show as long as Tapasio's not wearing it.
05:30All right, so I'll do that.
05:31And it could be any look in any order in the show.
05:35I'm going to switch it.
05:38Tim has a point.
05:40If I were a judge, I wouldn't want to be presented with the same exact thing.
05:44So, Tapasio, my muse model, isn't going to be wearing the wedding dress.
05:50Work hard.
05:50I know you will.
05:51Thanks, Tim.
05:52Bye.
05:52Bye.
06:00You're going to put your wedding dress in there?
06:03Yeah.
06:04I don't give an F what they say about...
06:07Well, I mean, they like yours overall.
06:09Oh, not so much over here.
06:12I do decide to check the wedding dress.
06:14The judges felt it was over-designed.
06:16It's the one, though, drama.
06:18Along with the wedding dress, I decided I'm taking two dresses out of the collection
06:21because I've listened to what they've said about over-designing.
06:25I don't want to be in that conversation with Nina and Heidi again.
06:28So, I'm going to make two new looks.
06:31I think it's insane that she is making two new pieces for her line.
06:38Kelly, since you're almost done, why don't you whip up my other dress for me?
06:43Come on.
06:44Yeah, pal.
06:46Make it happen.
06:58We're heading over to meet with Collier Strong from L'Oreal to discuss our makeup looks.
07:04I don't want my runaway makeup getting lost in translation.
07:07Although it had me back there doing makeup.
07:10All right, you guys, it's time to go.
07:12I'm waiting.
07:13Patel, you ready?
07:14Yeah, I figured I'd pick my hair.
07:15Oh, I like that dress.
07:17It goes with your line.
07:20Hey.
07:20Logan.
07:21Tell me the inspiration.
07:23Inspiration for my line was definitely nature.
07:26It's a really earth tone eye.
07:29The girls that I've picked have a variety of different nationalities, so it's really important
07:34to me that everyone looks consistent.
07:36I like the way you're going with that.
07:37I'm talking cherry red lips, almost pink lips.
07:40I wanted something really fresh, and I want the models to all look like porcelain dolls.
07:46Thank you, Collier.
07:48My inspiration is Waves.
07:51It's got the colors of the ocean.
07:54I want something looking really modern.
07:56That's what my collection is all about.
07:58I think this will look great.
07:59Yeah, I really like that.
08:04I'm ready.
08:05I'm waiting.
08:06Today, we're going to fit our models, and I'm really excited about it because I just want
08:11to finalize everything.
08:13Yo.
08:14Hi, Leanne.
08:16It's one girl after another, after another, after another.
08:19This one.
08:20It's just chaos.
08:22We need, like, traffic directors.
08:25That looks great.
08:26I've added more work to my load than Leanne and Kenley, so I'm just saying, like, secret
08:32prayers that I don't have to do a lot of alterations on my clothes for my model fittings.
08:37The one you dress is halfway done.
08:39By the end of the day, I hope I finish my collection.
08:42Over here.
08:43How are you?
08:43Give me a hug.
08:44Oh, that looks beautiful on you.
08:47Leanne doesn't know how to use colors, and I think it's a little boring.
08:51Oh, that looks cool.
08:54Yes.
08:54Kenley's line looks really holly hobby.
08:58It's just, like, you know, somebody's child's been, like, painting all over Kenley's collection.
09:04It looks really, really amateurish.
09:07You gotta wear that.
09:08It looks so good on you.
09:12Thank you, Dominica.
09:14You look beautiful.
09:15Just don't be late, okay?
09:19See you soon.
09:20I'm done with my first dress, but I still have so much work to do.
09:23I have to make one more look.
09:25I'm panicking right now because I see all the work I have to do, and I don't know if it's
09:29gonna get done.
09:31I came into this to get to Bryant Park to show at Fashion Week, and I'm not leaving without
09:35a fight.
09:36Like, I want this more than anything.
09:44Coming up on Project Runway.
09:46I don't know what this looks.
09:48They're not impeccably made.
09:50You're gonna get...
09:51Out.
09:57Hello.
09:57Hello, Jeannie.
09:59I'm going for the trust tonight consultation, and I know exactly what I want to do with the
10:04hair.
10:04So she's gonna wear, like, a top hat.
10:07Nice and smooth, but loose.
10:09Yeah.
10:09I like the wave up, and then the wave here.
10:13I think it's perfect.
10:14No.
10:14Seriously.
10:15Well, this is the look I'm going for for my girls.
10:18I want it to have two sizes of the buns.
10:21We'll have the second bun, like, really big.
10:24That looks really hot, actually.
10:26Awesome.
10:26I like it.
10:27I definitely want it really clean.
10:30Having it come up into kind of like a ponytail at the middle, kind of like a double.
10:35Yeah.
10:35Yeah.
10:35Yeah.
10:36I love it.
10:37Thank you so much.
10:45Oh.
10:46It is the last workday.
10:47I could have used one more workday.
10:50It's very risky doing two new looks, but I don't want to not win and be like, woulda,
10:55shoulda, coulda.
10:55Hi.
10:56Thank you for coming.
10:58You're loving me.
10:59All right.
10:59I'm going to just put this right on you.
11:01We all have just a ton of work left to do.
11:05Putting on buttons and doing little alterations and closures.
11:09It's going to be a crazy day.
11:11Oh, this fits her coming in.
11:14It works.
11:15It works.
11:15Hey, how are you?
11:20I'm going to go ahead and get you in this.
11:22I just want to make sure it all works out.
11:23You can tell Cateau's a little stressed out.
11:25She is making two new pieces for her line.
11:29And if they're not going to be impeccably made, you're going to get...
11:34Ow.
11:35Cool.
11:36Yeah, that looks good.
11:39All right.
11:40Thank you so much for coming in today, checking everything.
11:43I'm feeling okay that I might get everything done before midnight tonight.
11:47Thanks.
11:48God, Jesus.
11:49Hello.
11:50Come on, Sophie.
11:51Is it her?
11:52What's her name?
11:53Sophie.
11:54Thank you so much for coming.
11:55No, no worries.
11:56Go poop on Kenley's and Cateau's collection now.
12:00Do you ever keep that dog away from my ?
12:01Tia, she goes over and tries to pick up the poop while she's still wearing the evening gown and I'm just like, just careful don't get it on the gown.
12:08I can't even imagine explaining that to the judges that there's dog crap on the evening gown.
12:15Say hi.
12:16Bye, Sophie.
12:17Bye, Sophie.
12:18Play drum and lows in public.
12:19Yeah.
12:20Oh, no.
12:21Go poop on Kenley's and Cateau's collection now.
12:22Do you ever keep that dog away from my ?
12:23Tia, she goes over and tries to pick up the poop while she's still wearing the evening gown and I'm just like, just careful don't get it on the gown.
12:28I can't even imagine explaining that to the judges that there's dog crap on the evening gown.
12:33Say hi.
12:34Bye, Sophie.
12:35Play drum and lows in public.
12:36Yeah.
12:37Hi, everybody.
12:38Hi, Tim.
12:39I know you're all completely entrenched in this, but I want you to gather round because it's our last gather round.
12:56All right, everybody, just first of all, some orders of business.
13:02Tomorrow's sequence on the runway will be Kenley, Cateau, Leigh-Anne.
13:09And you are going to Bryant Park.
13:14You're going to be on the biggest fashion stage in the world.
13:18And I am just so incredibly proud.
13:21And whatever the outcome is tomorrow, the outcome is.
13:25Let's have a hug.
13:26All right, everybody.
13:27All right, everybody.
13:28This is the biggest day of my life.
13:44I'm about to show the world who I am as a designer.
13:49Last year, I snuck into the tent and got kicked out right away.
13:53But it is an amazing feeling that I'm actually going to show at Bryant Park.
13:59I've waited for this moment for so long.
14:04The whole world is really going to see us today as our coming out ceremony.
14:09So we want them to love you.
14:11I do feel like I deserve to win.
14:13I'm just going to go in there and show what I show and know that what I do, none of these girls can do because I'm Cateau.
14:19Are you ready now?
14:21See you then, you two.
14:32I have made it to Bryant Park.
14:34It's been a dream of mine since I was 12 years old.
14:37And I'm going to show my collection here this morning.
14:43Oh, my God.
14:45It's a long runway.
14:48Oh, my God.
14:51My parents are going to be here.
14:53And I can't wait.
14:54You know, my parents will be able to see how hard I've been working these past three years
15:01where they haven't been really a part of my life at all.
15:05My dad had a lot of influence in my collection.
15:09And I think he's going to think that's rad as hell and love it.
15:14The girls made it.
15:16Yeah!
15:17It's amazing.
15:18It's like, wow, my God.
15:19I'm actually here.
15:20I'm showing in the tent, not just the little salon, but the big tent.
15:24Shine in your moment, ladies.
15:31Oh, my God.
15:36Hi.
15:37Are you my helper?
15:38Oh.
15:39I get a team of young students who are going to be helping me today.
15:43I'm finishing this last dress.
15:44They're getting everything together.
15:46Thanks, guys, so much.
15:48I don't need anything now, but I'll let you guys know.
15:52No one touches my clothes.
15:54They don't know how to iron painted fabric.
15:56I'm the only one that does that.
15:59Oh, .
16:00I want to round it in big, because it needs to have that impact when it comes out.
16:18Are any of my models here?
16:21Beauty.
16:27Good job.
16:28That's not good.
16:29What happened?
16:30I don't know.
16:31The top is limp.
16:32It's also a bit big on her now, whereas before it fit her really well.
16:43It's kind of falling off of her.
16:45This is going to go back before the judges as well.
16:47I know.
16:48That worries me.
16:49I think I might have to switch her into that long blue gown.
16:54You do what you have to do.
16:56I just had to put her in the gown.
16:58It was a little larger on her, so I had to tuck it up in the back and also put some double-stick tape to make sure that it doesn't fall down.
17:05Suck in, Tapacio.
17:06Oh, my gosh!
17:07That's what I was going to give up!
17:08Oh, you're beautiful.
17:09You're beautiful.
17:10All right, line up.
17:11It's showtime, people.
17:12Looking at my collection lined up, I love it.
17:15I'm glad I added these two pieces.
17:30One is a short look on Amanda, and the other is my long piece on Elise.
17:35I see the color story.
17:37I see how the pieces relate to each other.
17:40Visually, it's beautiful.
17:45I think it's absolutely beautiful.
17:47I think my girls look amazing.
17:50I think I'm going to win this.
17:56I'm in awe.
17:57I'm really proud of what I've accomplished.
17:59I am utterly exhausted, but my heart is pounding.
18:04This is it.
18:05This is my big moment.
18:11Coming up on Project Runway.
18:14Whoa, this is so exciting!
18:17Enjoy it!
18:18Don't I look hot?
18:29Welcome!
18:30Today is our big finale, and we're all so excited, especially our designers backstage that worked so hard to get to this point to show at New York Fashion Week.
18:45So I would like to introduce the judges.
18:50Nina Garcia.
18:51Michael Kohl.
18:54And as you all can see, there's an empty chair there.
19:00And I have to tell you that Jennifer Lopez was going to be our guest judge, and she had a foot injury.
19:10So unfortunately, she's not here today.
19:12We're all very, very sad.
19:13So who's going to be our guest judge today?
19:15I wonder.
19:16Let's see who it is.
19:19It's Tim Gunn!
19:24Are you kidding?
19:29Oh my God.
19:30Okay, maybe I should have improved my attitude.
19:36Well, this is a Project Runway first, and I'm happy to fill in at the last minute.
19:42And I promise everyone I will be impartial and unbiased, and put my relationship with the designers on a metaphorical shelf.
19:50All right?
19:51So Heidi, as you would say...
19:53Let's start the show!
19:55Wow, this is so exciting!
20:10Wow, I was really inspired just with painting and fantasy things, Alice in Wonderland, and I made my dream wardrobe.
20:18So I love my family.
20:21Thank you for your sport.
20:22Enjoy!
20:25To be continued ...
20:27I'm going to show off the Great World with the Great World.
20:29I am going to show off the great world today.
20:30I love you and I love you.
20:31It's the best part.
20:32If you're watching the best, I can't be...
20:34I love you.
20:35I love you.
20:36I love you.
20:37Adios.
20:38The best part of our great world.
20:39For you, I'm probably one of the best moments that it is in the past.
20:40Oh my god!
20:41I love you.
20:42I love you.
20:43I'm finally at that first.
20:44I love you.
20:45I love you.
20:46Can you hold him?
20:47I love you.
20:48I love you.
20:49I love you.
20:50I love you.
20:51I love you.
20:52I love you.
20:53Everything just looked beautiful and better than I could even imagine.
21:08I have a big, bright color palette, and I wanted to do every piece dramatic and unique.
21:16I have something different to show and something that a lot of people are going to want to wear at the same time.
21:23I'm feeling really good and really proud.
21:53I'm feeling really good and really proud.
22:23I'm feeling really good and really proud.
22:53I'm feeling really good and really proud.
22:58Hello.
22:59You guys ready for me?
23:03My collection tonight is definitely inspired by nature.
23:09Everybody knows I'm from Africa.
23:11But tonight I just want to dedicate this show to my beautiful daughter, Elise, my husband.
23:18Everything I do, I do for her.
23:20Enjoy it!
23:21Don't have a lot.
23:22Don't have a lot.
23:29I'm true to who I am as an African woman.
23:41So I want people to look at my clothes and see those little inspirations and love it too and appreciate it.
23:59I just see a great collection on great girls.
24:00I can stand up for it and I love it.
24:06I love it.
24:07I love it.

26:46I was truly inspired in this collection,
26:49and I'm really, really, really proud
26:52of what I have accomplished.
26:55All of this exhaustion and stress,
26:58it is all worth it for those three minutes
27:02of seeing my models come down the runway.
27:05It's priceless.
27:06It's the feeling of a lifetime.

28:41Thank you so much.
28:46Thank you so much.
28:49Thank you so much.
28:53Thank you so much.
28:54I think it was just beautiful.
28:55Buy all of my clothes so I can pay my rent next month.
28:56Yay!
28:57Yay!
28:58Layance looked elegant, mature and something that could be in LMAX.
29:00Yay!
29:01I think everyone, you know, that has good taste liked it, so...
29:03I'm really rooting for Kenley because of her use of colors.
29:04I really did respond very much to Kenley's design.
29:06I instantly smiled when Kato's collection came out and I believe in her.
29:07I think she's gonna be great.
29:08It's so, it was amazing.
29:09Like, I'm so proud of all of them.
29:10It was amazing.
29:11Like, I'm so proud of all of them.
29:12So what did we think of Kato's collection?
29:13I think it was very, very elegant, mature and something that could be in LMAX.
29:16I think everyone, you know, that has good taste liked it, so...
29:19I'm really rooting for Kenley because of her use of colors.
29:23I really did respond very much to Kenley's design.
29:27I instantly smiled when Kato's collection came out and I believe in her.
29:31She's gonna be great.
29:32It was amazing.
29:33Like, I'm so proud of all of them.
29:38So what did we think about the show today?
29:41This was our first Project Runway finale where you had three women.
29:46You know, this was definitely a year of the women.
29:50The point of view was so palpable for each of them.
29:53And they're all very clear points of view.
29:56There's no hesitation.
29:57They have their own identity.
29:59And I think that it was exciting to see that very personal expression.
30:03I thought they did a great job.
30:05Okay, let's bring out the designers.
30:07Welcome back to the runway.
30:17Before we begin, I would like to congratulate each of you for making it this far.
30:23But as you know, only one of you can be the winner of Project Runway.
30:28The winner will receive a spread in Elle Magazine, a 2009 Saturn View Hybrid, an opportunity to sell their line on bluefly.com, a year of representation from designers' management agency, and $100,000 to start their own line, furnished by Tresemme Professional Hair Care.
30:47With us, as always, fashion designer, Micah Kors.
30:51Congratulations.
30:53Nina Garcia, editor-at-large for Elle Magazine.
30:57Congratulations, guys.
30:58So proud of you.
30:59We're proud of you.
31:00And a really hot hottie.
31:02Chief Creative Officer of Liz Claiborne, Inc.
31:05Tim Gunn.
31:06I'm also extremely proud of all of you.
31:08Did a wonderful job.
31:09Thanks, Tim.
31:10Let's bring out your models.
31:11Models, one of you will also be a winner today.
31:23The model paired with a winning designer will receive a fashion spread in Elle Magazine.
31:29Okay, I would like to start with Kenley.
31:31Michael, what did you think of Kenley's fashion show today?
31:34I thought it was full of charm.
31:35It had a lot of personality and a lot of spirit.
31:38I was curious, the painting, did you do all that yourself?
31:42Mm-hmm.
31:43Well, that's pretty remarkable, so my hat's off to you.
31:47And I also loved when you played with separates but still maintained your look.
31:52You had a fabulous blouse with a little skirt.
31:55I thought those two pieces were really great.
31:58Thanks.
31:59I love your concept.
32:00I love your hand painting and impeccable construction,
32:03and you certainly have a profound point of view.
32:07I think you had a fantastic collection.
32:09It had wonderful spirit.
32:11The only problem that I have, to be honest, that dress that you had with the flowers,
32:16it reminds me very much of Balenciaga collection.
32:20Yeah, it's a cousin.
32:21I've heard people actually say that today.
32:23I don't know.
32:24Can I just tell you one thing?
32:26It is necessary to know what's going on.
32:29Because if you don't know all those fashion editors that are watching your show...
32:33They do know.
32:34I'm...
32:35They do know.
32:36At least four times you guys have told me that.
32:38And yeah, I realize now, maybe I need to do some research.
32:41Cateau?
32:42I think that you found a way to take your heritage and your background and inject it into the clothes
32:54without it becoming a costume.
32:56This green dress that we're looking at here is definitely my favorite piece you showed.
33:00I love the dress.
33:01I think it's great.
33:03Your collection looked effortlessly cohesive.
33:08I think you do phenomenal color.
33:11I think that dress is extraordinary.
33:14It would appeal to many women.
33:16Cateau, I believe you've hit a bullseye with the short taupe dress with the pleating detail.
33:22And it surprised me.
33:23I hadn't seen it walk.
33:24I thought it was absolutely sublime on the runway.
33:27I loved it.
33:28Thank you, Tim.
33:29Everyone can see how much work you put into each and every piece.
33:33But some of the pieces do look overworked to me.
33:36That there are too many ideas in one garment.
33:39You just need to be careful in going overboard with the decoration.
33:44I like it when you hold back a little bit.
33:50Leigh-Anne.
33:51You turned the corner with the right first look.
33:54It set the tone immediately.
33:57Yeah.
33:58The shirt was over steamed.
34:00And it had stretched about two sizes larger.
34:03So we had to do a last minute switch up.
34:06Welcome to fashion show hell.
34:08Oh, yeah.
34:09But so much of what you showed, the workmanship looked divine.
34:15I loved the blue vest with the white pants.
34:17I just thought that was a smashing, smart, fantastic look.
34:22I also appreciated the fact that you showed us shorts, skirts, pants, jackets, and a long dress.
34:33I think that it all did work together very nicely.
34:36I feel like I've seen things in your line that I have not seen before, like these petals.
34:41But there were a lot of them.
34:43I'm just nervous that you're going to be known as the queen of the petals.
34:46You're going to be petals Marshall, which sounds like a stripper, not a designer.
34:50I am a little concerned that it was too much of a one note.
34:56If you had to do 40 looks, how would you evolve this?
35:01It is a concern of mine.
35:05Kato, why do you deserve to be the winner of Project Runway?
35:09It's been a long journey here.
35:14And to show at Bryan Park, it was amazing.
35:17And it showed to me that I am capable of doing it, that I am worthy of it.
35:21And there's just so much more that can come out of me.
35:24And I would love this opportunity to be able to show that.
35:28Leanne, why do you deserve to be the winner of Project Runway?
35:31I'm extremely innovative.
35:34I'm doing new things in fashion.
35:37Half of my collection was of sustainable textiles.
35:41I really need to take it to the next level.
35:43And I possess the talent and the ambition to do that.
35:49I know that I have it in me and I can take this far.
35:54I moved to New York a few years ago with a lot of imagination
35:59and a lot of personality, good or bad.
36:03But this is something I'm very passionate about.
36:08And that I'm good at.
36:11We could see that all of you are very passionate about it.
36:15Boy, you need to be.
36:17Can't do it otherwise.
36:20Okay, we've heard what you had to say.
36:22We're going to have a little chat.
36:24And when we call you back, we'll name the winner of Project Runway.
36:28You can leave the runway.
36:37What did we think about Kenley?
36:39Well, there was certainly cohesion and it was superbly executed.
36:42She has the fit so down pat.
36:45They look perfect.
36:47It's almost couture-like.
36:49She does have ideas and I loved that she hand painted everything.
36:53But you just have to make sure you don't cross that step where it turns into La Croix, Balenciaga.
37:01Balenciaga did an entire collection of painted, I mean, eyes.
37:04She needs to take a fashion history course, frankly.
37:07But is the creativity and the talent there? Absolutely.
37:13What do you guys think about Leigh-Anne?
37:14Well, the trickiest thing to do is make complicated clothes look easy.
37:19And her clothes look very unfettered.
37:22The other thing is she thinks about a sustainable fabric and she's thinking, what's next?
37:29She has an elegant, sophisticated, polished approach.
37:31Yes, it could look very granola, very easy.
37:33But that's what I love about it.
37:34And hers doesn't.
37:35It doesn't at all.
37:36And it was her own.
37:37I mean, you could see immediately it's Leigh-Anne.
37:39Hopefully, she's not stuck in the petal architecture.
37:42That is my apprehension.
37:44Can she really evolve from that, you know, one concept?
37:52Kato.
37:53I am very impressed with Kato's silhouettes and her desire to bring in the African heritage.
37:59I loved the overall look of the collection.
38:02I think she's at her best when it's complicated but deceptively simple.
38:09Like the last dress was a classic halter dress just done askew.
38:13Bit of a twist.
38:14Bit of a twist.
38:15Just enough to keep my interest but at the same time not get overworked.
38:20She has an incredible ability to dress many sizes in terms of the shape and the silhouette and what works best for a woman.
38:29And I think that's a gift.
38:30So this is a really tough decision.
38:35Do you think we're doing the right thing?
38:37I think so.
38:38No doubt.
38:39Yes.
38:40Okay.
38:41Let's bring them back out.
38:52Leigh-Anne, Kato, Kenley, each of you put on a great show.
39:01But only one of you can be the winner of Project Runway.
39:08Kenley.

39:18I wish you all the best.
39:19Thanks.
39:20Feel as in, Kenley.
39:24Thank you, guys.

39:38No one likes to be called a copycat when they know that they're a true artist.
39:44I'm really sad, it crushes me, I'm out, no one likes to be called a copycat when they
39:58know that they're a true artist and it kills me that that's what they think.
40:04I think it's bull I'm sorry, you won in my book.
40:13Leanne, Kato, one of you will be the winner of Project Runway.
40:33Congratulations Leanne, Leanne you're the winner of Project Runway.
40:43Oh my god.
40:45Kato, that means you're out.
40:48We believe that you are very talented and you really understand what women want.
40:54It is devastating.
40:55I wanted to win and I'm always this close but it didn't happen it wasn't in the cards
41:12for me.
41:13Am I sad?
41:14Yes.
41:15Am I disappointed?
41:16Hella yes.
41:19This is definitely not the last of Kato but at this very moment my heart is bleeding.
41:28Lian!
41:29Congratulations.
41:30Oh my god.
41:31You did it.
41:32Oh my god.
