Project Runway Winner: Christian Siriano

Christian Siriano is the surprise winner of Project Runway. Season 4 of Project Runway ended in style tonight. The vibrantly talented, outspoken, clever, sarcastic, and (most importantly) FIERCE, 21-year old Christian Siriano won the $100,000 grand prize. Apparently Christian was right: he is now officially "a big deal!"

Tonight's big winner, Christian Siriano, was the youngest contestant on Project Runway this season. He pushed the envelope and showcased an imaginative and daring line of designer clothes for women. It paid off. As the winner of Project Runway, Christian Siriano said he is going to use the prize money to start up his own line. Posh Spice has already told him that she wants to wear one of his creations.

At the offset of the Project Runway finale, Rami seemed like the clear frontrunner to me. Tim Gunn did a walkthrough in the Project Runway workroom, and Jillian and Christian seemed scared and unsure while Rami was confident (and maybe even a little arrogant--and deservedly so, after being forced to compete with Chris to get a spot in the Project Runway finale). Tim Gunn commented: "What's happened to the cocky, confident Christian?" Oh Tim Gunn! It was just the calm before the winning storm that Christian was about to unleash down the runway at New York Fashion Week.

Jillian seemed like she was already preparing herself for a loss when she made the copout statement, "everything is a first to me." Isn't that what this show is all about, Jillian? Come on woman! Success is a self-fulfilling prophecy! Jillian had a mini meltdown during the Project Runway finale when she started second-guessing her model selections. You could see the devilish joy in Christian's eyes as she wasted her energy on such a triviality. Who can blame him though? This is the finals!
