In the second episode of this season’s Project Runway, Sarah Jessica Parker was a guest judge. She asked the designers to create a high fashion look on a low budget for her clothing line, Bitten. The winning design would be sold in Steve and Barry’s stores nationwide. Though season 4 winner Christian Siriano fared well in the challenge, it was actually Victorya Hong who took the challenge. Now that the show has finished airing, Parker can speak out on the episode she taped as well as her thoughts on the winner. She spoke to entertainment blog, Josh and Josh are Rich and Famous, while promoting her Sex and The City film and dished about Project Runway!

I could not have been happier with the results of the Project Runway finale this week. Christian Siriano, my favorite designer since very early on in the season, won and is on his way to a very big career. This finale was one of my favorite reality episodes of all time. Not only did my favorite contestant win but I got to see myself on national television. Here’s how I went from TV writer to runway attendee to cameo on Bravo.

The long wait is over and at last we know who the winner of Project Runway 4 is. As Tim Gunn hinted, it ultimately came down to a matter of taste. All three of the final designers had elements to their designs that were beautiful, but none of the collections was without its flaws. In the end, the judges felt that Christian Siriano's theatricality was tempered by his preternaturally mature sophistication and taste level, and that his looks were the best offered in the finale.
Some viewers have wondered why Christian's collection was deemed the winner, while a similarly dramatic collection like Chris March's was auf'd?

On last night's season 4 finale of Project Runway, viewers were delighted as Christian Siriano was named the winner. Two weeks earlier, he had been named Fan Favorite on the Project Runway reunion episode. Confident and comical, Christian has been quite the character this season and will certainly live on as one of the most memorable designers the show has ever seen. After he showed his collection at Fashion Week, guest judge Victoria Beckham said that she would proudly wear anything he designed. It has been a dream come true for the young designer and today, he spoke to BuddyTV in an exclusive interview.
Below, you will find the complete transcript and mp3 of the interview.

On tonight's finale of Project Runway, the three remaining designers headed to Fashion Week to show their final collections. The winner will receive the grand prize of $100,000, an Elle magazine editorial spread, a 2008 Saturn Astra and the opportunity to sell a fashion line on the Bluefly.com website. Tonight's (not so secret) guest judge was fashion icon Victoria Beckham. On TRESemme's online game, Fantasy Runway, I predicted that Christian would win. I got my butt handed to me most of the season, being way off on who would win each challenge but I had a good time playing! Read on to find out if my final prediction was correct and more details on Project Runway's season 4 finale!

Tonight is the REAL finale of Project Runway and I will accept nothing short of a Christian Siriano victory. Don't get me wrong. I love all three designers but we all have to have a favorite. Tim Gunn has said that this is the strongest season yet but this is my first one I've watched. I'm hooked. I'm in love. Tonight, the designers head to Fashion Week to show their final collections on the runway. I'll be scanning the crowd shots to see if I can find myself but it's a long shot. Thank God there weren't cameras around when I climbed over two rows of chairs in a skirt to get to Kevin Christiana! It's time for some live thoughts so keep refreshing and post your comments, too!

After the first episode aired of Project Runway season 4, I was convinced that Rami Kashou was going to win the season. However, it only took a few more episodes before I jumped on the Christian Siriano bandwagon. Jillian Lewis, who is without a doubt a talented designer, has had to fight to take a little of the spotlight off of these two men. Tim Gunn has said that this will be the “stiffest competition we've ever had” but is there a clear cut winner here?

Here we at the conclusion of another season of Project Runway, and before we get to the predictions, a few thoughts on this season.
At the beginning of the past three seasons, Tim Gunn has usually made some statement to the effect that the current season's designers really are the strongest bunch yet. I haven't put much thought into the overall progression of the show, but I do agree that this season – while there were a few weak spots – the overall talent level was very high. Even if I didn't care for a contestant's particular aesthetic, it was still usually clear that each designer had some real skills.
I haven't been watching the ratings for this season, so I don't know if they are up or down from prior seasons. I hope up, because if this season of Project Runway is more (or at least as) successful as previous ones, I think it could really help start a positive trend for reality television.
