Seth Aaron Henderson, the 38-year-old stylist from Vancouver, Washington, took home the big prize last night during the finale of Project Runway season seven. Henderson impressed the judges with his "1940s German-Russian military collection of kick ass girls." Michael Kors called it "exhilarating and powerful," and Nina Garcia thought the collection "fearless." As winner, Henderson will receive $100,000 to continue work on his collection and said his first big splurge will be a vacation with his wife and two children.

Runner-up Emilio Sosa's collection was titled "Color Me Bad" and featured bold reds and blues, while Mila Hermanovski (who took third) presented an impeccably made lineup of mod pieces in black and white. Click below to see all ten looks from each designer, starting with winner Seth Aaron.

 

What’s Fab at New York Fashion Week 2010: Louise Roe’s Futuristic Forecast!

Louise Roe predicts Fall 2010’s top trends will fall into two categories: feminine or futuristic.

Louise Roe predicts Fall 2010’s top trends will fall into two categories: feminine or futuristic. In one camp, designers like Zac Posen, Carolina Herrera, and Monique Lhuillier are taking cues from Old Hollywood silhouettes as seen on the red carpet from celebrities like An Education’s Carey Mulligan and Mad Men’s Christina Hendricks. In the other camp, fashion-forward thinkers Alexander Wang, Marc Jacobs, Yigal Azrouël and Project Runway winners Christian Siriano and Irina Shabayeva are taking a more avant-garde, Avatar-inspired take on what’s to come.

Do You Agree With the Winner of Project Runway?

The sixth season of Project Runway, punctuated by a network change and a long lawsuit, wrapped up this week, and the winner was finally announced.

The sixth season of Project Runway, punctuated by a network change and a long lawsuit, wrapped up this week, and the winner was finally announced. And I really mean finally — the collections were actually shown way back in February.

Last week, the majority of you predicted that Carol Hannah would take home the honors. Of course, she didn't win, though I did love her collection. It was Irina and her urban lady-warrior collection that took home the title in the end. Althea was complimented for her sportswear, Carol Hannah wowed with beautiful draping, but neither bested Irina.

Do you agree with the judges and Irina's win, or do you think it should have been Carol Hannah or Althea?

Project Runway Rundown: Episode 14, "Finale, Part 2"

All good things must come to an end, and last night that good thing was Project Runway season four.

All good things must come to an end, and last night that good thing was Project Runway season four. I'm certainly going to miss its bevy of crying fits, crazy hats, cackles, and fierceness. And while it may not have been the most dynamic season in terms of drama (really, I blame Jillian), the designers certainly had talent — as we saw during last night's runway presentation showcasing the final three designers.

After last week's showdown between Chris and Rami, Rami proved victorious and joined Jillian and Christian in the top three. I was sad to see Chris go, but I think Rami truly was on a similar playing field as Jillian and Christian. And, as Torrance Shipman says in Bring It On, "I define being the best as competing against the best there is out there and beating them." I couldn't agree more — and I absolutely think these three were the best of the season, so the winner truly had to bring it!
