>> Previously, on
Project Runway: All Stars...
You've all made it to the final
challenge.
>> I feel like this is my time.
>> We want to see five different
looks.
>> You have four days.
>> Uh-oh.
>> Welcome to my world.
The next four days are going to
be very intense for you.
>> Are these pants?
>> He's such a [bleep].
I need therapy.
>> Hello?
Designers?
We decided we wanted just one
more look.
>> All of our old fabric.
>> And there's more.
We've invited some familiar
faces to join us back in the
work room.
>> Look what the cat dragged in.
>> I'm going to pick Mila.
>> Princess Antoinetta.
>> I'm going to choose that
Silver Fox [indistinct]
Johnston.
>> Ooh!
>> So--so you don't like it?
He said it looks like dead
white lady.
>> [Chuckles]
>> It looks like crap.
>> How are you feeling about
tomorrow?
>> Oh, God, I want to win.
This is all I've ever wanted.
And it's so close.
>> I know I have what it takes.
>> I can't wait any longer.
>> I want that prize.

Project Runway All Stars 1x12 Finale, Part 2 Original Air Date on March 22, 2012
== sync, corrected by elderman ==
>> It's the morning of finale,
and today is judgment day.
>> Just think, minutes away.
>> Oh, my goodness.
I'm, like, nervous.
I think I'm gonna throw up.
I am a rock star.
This is my chance to just, like,
deliver my message about who
Austin Scarlett is and just rock
it like an all-star.
>> I just get so excited to see
all the models.
I'm really confident with the
way that everything looks.
I feel really good about the
collection, and there's nothing
more that I can do to it.
I'm done.
>> I absolutely adore Michael,
and he deserves to be here, and
I know he wants it more than
anybody, but I have wanted it
so much.
I deserve this.
I feel like I deserve this.
I've worked so hard.
Does Liza Minnelli know you went
through her wardrobe, girl?
>> Let's go do this.
>> Well, may the best designer
win.
>> This is the big moment.
It's now or never.
>> Hi, there.
I am super, super excited about
this.
[Grunts]
Wow.
But, you know, there's still
work to be done.
>> I'm, like, getting a fashion
orgasm right now.
>> So we arrive at Gotham Hall
for the finale, which is a
glorious event space in the
heart of Manhattan.
>> This is a special location
for the All-Stars and
definitely fitting for the
All Stars finale.
>> [Exclaims]
Gorgeous.
Look. Oh.
Heaven.
>> Wow.
This is beautiful.
It's so beautiful that you feel
so blessed to be in there.
>> I have always imagined how
wonderful and beautiful it would
be to actually have a fashion
show there, and here it is,
coming true.
And not just any fashion show.
The Project Runway: All star
Finale.
We've made it, boys.
Hug.
>> If you visualize something
and you're honest with yourself,
it's that much more real.
>> Let's go, like, get to work.
>> So all I'm doing is focusing
on visualizing myself on the
runway and winning.
>> We head backstage.
Each of us has our own dressing
area with all of our
Neiman Marcus accessories, our
irons, our steamers.
Last night, I got the work in
that I wanted to get in, so I'm
feeling good.
It's just a matter of focusing
and keeping on track.
>> As soon as I throw my bag
down, I immediately go for this
red carpet dress, which still
has a lot of work to be done.
>> I feel like Austin might have
bit off a little bit more than
he can chew, so now he's
choking.
>> [Bleep] me now.
I'm about to [bleep] freak right
now.
[Bleep], [bleep].
So I'm frantic backstage,
running, trying to get
everything ready.
But that's just the type of
designer and person I am.
>> Hi.
>> Both: How are you?
>> Good to see you.
So the models come in now, I'm
excited, I want to do
last-minute fittings, make sure
everything's good, 'cause, the
night before, I made sure
everything was fine.
It's really tight.
Really tight.
And looser on this side.
The sleeve is too tight.
The other sleeve is a little bit
loose.
I'm like, oh, my God.
The zipper is terrible.
>> Michael's kind of in a
predicament.
Yesterday he felt like he was in
such a good place, he was
completely finished.
But then today things aren't
fitting as well as he'd like
them to.
>> [Sighs]
>> Good. All right.
So, look number one, I have
these--they're supposed to be
opaque tights, but they're not
at all.
I haven't decided if I want to
send her down in, like, boy
shorts, 'cause it's kind of,
like, see-through...
Or if I want to take that risk,
you know.
Like, it's--I don't know.
For me, it's kind of risky.
>> I think we need to go ahead
to makeup, so why don't we go
to the land of L'Oreal?
So here are my beauties.
We know what to do.
Rouge cheeks.
Should have, like, a doll face.
>> Mwah.
>> Both: Good to see you.
>> I want, like, a natural
cheek and ruby, ruby lip.
Yeah.
>> Hey, Scott.
I thought to do, like, a cat
eye, some falsie lashes, and
then just a little color on the
cheek.
>> Sort of all sweeping over
the face.
>> Really, like, sculpted,
large, fat curls.
>> '70s kind of hair.
Like, if the part's here, then
brushed out, then sprayed.
>> They're supposed to be, like,
unkempt.
>> And then a little bit...
>> Shock therapy.
All right, have fun, girls.
>> Austin.
>> Joanna.
>> How--how's it going?
>> I'm creating right now.
>> Why are you doing it now?
>> Because I didn't have time
to finish everything last night.
Now she's done.
I just need to, like, sash her.
>> Okay, 'cause I don't want
this showing.
What are these, staples?
>> These are pins.
>> Okay--
>> But it's gonna have a sash
around it.
>> Okay. All right. Phew.
>> I know, Joanna.
It's crazy.
I guess really the only thing
I hope they don't notice are any
pins on the red carpet dress.
>> This thing is huge on you.
It's six inches too big.
This much bigger.
I'm like, what the hell?
I'm gonna have to redo the snap.
'Cause it's, like, too huge.
It needs to be, like, way
smaller.
I wasn't prepared for this.
>> Yeah, what's the matter?
>> I had to cut the lining out
and readjust it six inches.
We never really got a full
fitting with Noelle.
>> Right.
>> So it was difficult.
>> You know what, that's one of
those things you're just gonna
have to let go and let God.
>> Yeah, but that was my little
setback when I thought I was,
like, so prepared.
No matter how confident you are,
you're always gonna have
something go wrong before a
runway show.
Be prepared.
>> Is this all done?
>> Um, yeah.
Everything is pretty much done.
I'm just, you know, pressing
everything, making it runway
ready.
>> Okay, good.
What are you doing in here?
>> I'm just deciding to add
some...
>> This is good.
Do you need--do you need lint
rollering?
>> I probably do.
>> Oh, you do.
You know what, can I use this on
your back?
>> Yes, you can.
>> I feel like I should.
I don't want you going out
there with bits of fluff and
cotton on your back.
>> Being lint-rolled down by
Joanna Coles was never in my
game plan.
It's a little uncomfortable.
It's like your aunt rolling you
down.
>> Where's the other model?
Excuse me.
>> Hey, can I just see everybody
together really quick?
Those last few minutes, it's
not adrenaline.
It's fear.
You're working in fear.
>> It's time to start lining up.
>> It's time for...
>> Show time.
>> Coming up on Project Runway:
All Stars...
Only three designers remain.
And it all comes down to
tonight.
>> It's time to start lining up.
>> It's time for...
>> Show time.
[Applause]
>> Good evening, ladies and
gentlemen.
And welcome to a very exciting
night.
Three months ago, 13 All-Star
designers returned to
Project Runway to showcase
their talents.
Only three designers remain.
And it all comes down to
tonight.
Let's meet the judges.
First, the designer and
cofounder of Marchesa, the
beautiful Georgina Chapman.
[Applause]
Next one of the most famous
names in fashion Isaac Mizrahi.
[Applause]
And we have the first of two
guest judges.
His fashion empire is one of the
most internationally recognized
brands around the world.
He is a true American success
story.
Fashion icon Tommy Hilfiger.
[Applause]
And helping us make this major
decision tonight is our final
judge.
He is the SVP and Fashion
Director of Neiman Marcus.
Ken Downing.
[Applause]
Our designers were given just
four days to put their
collections together.
So please give them a lot of
support and enjoy the show.
[Applause]
>> Hello, everyone.
Thank you for coming to view my
collection.
It's called Austin Scarlett, and
it's a story of a vampire from
the 18th century who has lived
many hundreds of years and now
resides in Williamsburg and
occasionally borrows clothes
from her Hasidic dandy friends.
I hope you enjoy it as much as
I've enjoyed creating it.
Thank you.
[Applause]

Hi, guys.

>> Amazing clothes.
>> Hi.
>> It's nice to see them again
and see how they've evolved,
what they've been doing.
>> I was pretty surprised what
they can get out of four days.
So, if you give them four
months like an average designer
gets, I think--I think you have
some great talent there.
>> My highlight from the show
was that amazing pantsuit that,
like, walked down and walked
back.
Like, the model was amazing,
the pantsuit was amazing, and
they nailed it, and I loved it.
>> I'm really worried to see who
the winner is, 'cause I have one
I'm rooting for.
>> I loved seeing the All-Stars.
I think it's so exciting to see
the best of the best sort of
outperform each other.
>> It's still all rushing
through my head.
I don't think I've fully
processed what has just
happened.
>> Just to be here and have the
chance to show again on
Project Runway is--it really is
a dream come true, as much as I
bitch and moan about it.
>> I promised myself I wouldn't
cry, but I just feel so good
about everything.
I just really do.
I'm really happy at this time.
Really.
>> Austin, Michael, Mondo, you
guys did an amazing job, and you
just made our night much more
difficult.
Now, as you know, we're gonna
critique all three of you.
So, Michael and Mondo, you can
leave the runway and go to the
designers' lounge.
>> Okay. Thank you.
>> And, Austin, you can bring
out your models.
>> Girls.
>> Austin, congratulations.
>> I don't know how you put all
these pieces together in such
a short amount of time.
I think that's masterful.
>> I think you've got some
really special pieces here.
I think you've got some really
good ideas.
>> I think you did a really good
job, Austin.
Congratulations, man.
I would not view that as a
collection.
I would view it as the best of
someone's work over a number
of years or something.
>> I loved the Rock 'n' Roll
statement, and I think, if you
do take the jumpsuit, the
leatherette skirt, the lacquered
lace, and even the first jacket,
then you have sort of, like, a
rock star feeling.
But then you lose me when you
show me a wedding gown that
belongs in a different
collection.
>> But don't you love the
wedding dress?
>> I can see a million women
actually wanting to get married
in that dress.
That, to me, was a really
phenomenal piece.
I question that ball gown, just
how flattering it is.
I think you need to be careful
where you're adding volume and
then where you're cinching, and
the length isn't quite perfect.
>> I adore the lacquered lace
dress.
Absolutely the lacquered lace.
>> Which is the piece made with
leftover fabric?
>> It was the jumpsuit.
>> That was the jumpsuit.
>> It's leatherette from the
streetwear challenge.
The pink's from the Miss Piggy
challenge, and the black is
from the Broadway challenge.
>> What was so great about your
collection was that it was such
a woman coming out.
>> I love that too, and it's so
glamorous.
And you do have a youth to your
glamour, which is so important.
>> We all thank you.
We'll bring out our next
designer.
>> Thank you all.
>> Thank you.
>> Thanks.
>> I think the judges love the
collection.
They love that I brought a
definite youthfulness to a
couture collection.
And that really is a wonderful
critique that is important to
me.
[Sighs]
I'm done.
I think you're up next, darling.
>> All right.
>> Can't even think at this
point.
Honestly, my--every emotion,
every thought is just racing
through my mind, like a crazy
pinwheel kaleidoscope.
>> Hi, Mondo.
>> Hi.
>> Congratulations, Mondo.
I mean, as always, you were so
masterful with your use of print
and your use of color and your
graphics.
>> Of the three collections we
saw, I think this is definitely
the most cohesive in the wit of
it, in the mixing of the fabrics
together.
>> The first outfit was a wow.
The second she walked on the
runway, I thought, "this
designer really, really gets
it."
Dress number two: I just think
you have too much detail on
that particular dress.
>> I have to tell you, I am
absolutely taken aback by the
Rorschach print.
The fact that you created it, it
looks so professional.
It looks like it came from a
fabric house.
>> I love this pant.
I think that the pockets are a
bit too large.
I think smaller would be more
appealing.
>> The dress at the end I think
is so beautiful.
That textile's beautiful.
I'm mad for the appliques.
>> I'm personally not crazy
about the lame.
I feel like this dress doesn't
fit into the rest of the
collection.
>> Is that your leftover fabric,
the last one?
>> No. No, no, no.
>> That wasn't.
>> This one is.
>> This is the net lacquer.
I got some from the light
challenge, and I got some from
the flags.
>> I love your attention to
detail.
And you thought throughout each
piece of it in the best way that
you had in a short period of
time.
>> Did a great job.
>> Thank you, Mondo, for sharing
your collection.
>> All righty.
>> You can go back to the
designers' lounge, and we will
speak to you soon.
>> Thanks. Bye, guys.
>> Bye.
>> And gals.
I think it's really cool that
the judges all picked something
different that they liked.
That means, as a collection, it
makes sense.
Michael.
>> This is the big moment.
I'm excited to get it done.
It's been a long, long process.
>> Michael.
Congratulations.
Georgina, what did you think of
the collection?
>> It's exceptional.
It really is.
I think these clothes, you've
made them so well.
>> I think you could put these
in the stores tomorrow and sell
them.
>> There's a cohesive attitude
to the collection.
It's not all the same print, and
I like how they kind of play off
one another.
>> I understand why you're using
all the prints because of the
African theme, but you have to
be very careful when you're
buying a print, because it looks
a little too commercial.
>> For this particular
challenge, you know, it's
supposed to be, like, this
fabulous, like, fantasy thing.
And you went to this place with
the Serengeti.
You know, and we get that with
the prints, and, for me, some of
it looks like you mixed it in
not the most interesting way.
Do you know what I mean?
>> I love the second dress
because I like that whole
building of the bra cup.
>> It's amazing.
>> I call that piecing.
I like how there's a little bit
of a warrior princess in the
way that dress is cut.
>> I think this dress is also
great if you take the vest off.
>> This is the sixth look.
I don't know if you recognize
the fabrics.
The dress is from the Greek flag
challenge that we had.
The patent leather belt is from
the Miss Piggy challenge.
The elastic is from the face-off
challenge.
And then the light challenge
that we had with Pharrell as
the judge is what the vest is
made from.
>> The thing that you do again
and again which is so wonderful
is that you do this kind of
thing that exalts, like, flesh.
I always feel the flesh in the
clothes, which is, to me, the
greatest thing in the world.
But you have to be careful
because that can go very
inexpensive-feeling.
>> I think that there's a big
clientele for that kind of sex
appeal, but I feel also a
sophistication in there.
>> Also, you know where you've
been so great here, Michael, is
this white grecian dress, it's
gorgeous, it's sensual, and yet
it's not overly sexy.
You really got the balance
there, and I really congratulate
you for that.
It was just divine.
>> Well, thank you, Michael.
You did a wonderful job.
>> Thank you. Thank you, guys.
>> You can go back to the
designers' lounge, and we'll see
you soon.
>> Thank you.
I felt like it was a really
positive critique.
This is the main guy for
Neiman Marcus and this is
Tommy Hilfiger talking about how
my pieces can sell.
This is great.
Congratulations, gentlemen.
May the force be with you.
[Laughter]
>> And also with you.
>> Well, guys, what an
impressive evening.
I mean, I was really blown away
by these collections.
>> To do this in four days, I
mean, it's amazing.
>> Shall we start with Austin?
>> He's one of the more talented
ones in that he can think big,
long, epic thoughts.
>> I agree with you.
I think Austin, out of all of
them, is probably the most
artistic.
He is an ideas machine.
And that's what makes him so
wonderful, and you get carried
away in his dream.
>> There was a lot of messages
in that collection.
I wish he could have zeroed in
on only a couple of ideas.
>> If you were to decipher what
he showed, you could probably
pick out a couple of
Rock 'n' Roll pieces, more
current, and then a couple of
pieces that may have looked more
period.
I thought the last dress was
phenomenal.
I just don't think it fit into
the collection.
>> The lacquered lace dress was
phenomenal.
>> That was cool.
>> One of the best pieces that
came down the runway.
>> He has a really good eye.
I think that final dress was
beautiful, and I'm sure you
could sell a lot of those in
bridal.
>> Oh, absolutely.
You know, I think that something
he does bring is a femininity.
And I think that is something
that women who are going to buy
his kind of clothes are looking
for.
>> Could Austin pull off an
exclusive boutique at
Neiman Marcus?
>> Yes.
>> I think that, if Austin got
his hands on a really good
stylist, there's no telling how
far he could go.
>> The main thing was they
thought it was, like, too full
of ideas.
I just wanted to make it as
powerful as possible.
Of course, it's insanely
nerve-racking, but there's a
sort of eerie sense of calm I
feel that has come over the
three of us.
>> You know, the thing about it
Austin is that you've done the
work, you shouldn't regret
anything.
>> I don't.
I respect the judges' opinion,
but I have to do what I need to
do as an artist.
And I know that there's women
out there who would love to wear
all of those things, so...
I'm happy.
>> So let's move on to Mondo.
>> I was amazed at the
workmanship with all the detail.
I loved the fact that he carried
the dots all the way through.
>> He is a master at mixing
fabrics and mixing ideas, Mondo.
He can take a bunch of fabrics
and create his own textile out
of it, which is what I love
about him.
>> Well, it's '60s meets '80s,
I think.
It's very modern.
I think it's younger, and I
think that even with the lame
dress at the end, which was a
totally different palette, I
thought it was very consistent.
>> What he does with fabrics
really is smart and shows wit...
In the craft of making clothes.
>> Sometimes restraint, I think,
is probably the best quality for
a great fashion designer.
And, when he's restrained, I
actually think there's some
really strong pieces.
But when it gets too applied,
it starts to lose its way.
The buttons that sometimes feel
a little too big.
The pockets, which I thought
were cartoonish on the pant.
>> I felt like I saw more of
Mondo the last 12 weeks than I
did tonight.
I felt like it fell short of
what he's actually capable of.
>> I think Mondo has had such a
strong point of view throughout
this competition, and I think
tonight he did an incredible
job.
I think we expect a lot from
Mondo, and I think he set his
own bar very, very high.
>> I saw him as a true artist
with a lot of passion, and I
think, again, with the right
focus, muse/stylist/direction,
he would be great.
>> Can you tell me what--how
your critique went?
>> It went really well.
I'm feeling good.
I don't feel like I have to
talk about it anymore.
This is my final collection, and
I have to own not only who I am,
but what I provide, which is my
art.
I feel good.
I mean, I'm happy with what I
showed.
At the end of the day, that's
the most important thing.
>> So let's talk about Michael.
>> I think that it was more
commercial, but it was very
cohesive.
You looked at the whole
collection, and you got it.
>> The fact that Michael's
collection was a little bit more
relaxed of shape and it was all
jersey, when the other
designers, we were looking at
leatherette and lacquered laces
and tweeds, it certainly stood
out.
>> Those clothes did not come
together in a sophisticated way
enough for me.
I mean, there was one print that
was okay in five prints.
Do you know what I mean?
>> But I think, you know,
Michael is a masterful draper.
We have seen this throughout
all the weeks.
>> He really does make clothes
well.
>> That's why they look like
they could have--many of them
could have gone to the store
tomorrow.
>> Yes.
>> I could see those clothes
going into the store and out
the door.
>> I don't think I'm nervous.
I think it's more like...
>> Anxious?
>> Yeah, anxious.
My heart's pounding because I
have this feeling that it is me
because I feel like I've shown
them looks that can be sellable,
looks that are wearable, and
that's part of what fashion is.
I want to know.
I want--I want to get it done.
I want to know where I stand.
>> You kind of have to ask
yourself, do you go for someone
who's got too many ideas coming
together all over the place or
someone who is at a loss for
ideas, and from their loss of
ideas, something emerged, and
someone who had such a straight
idea of where they were headed,
it almost lost its excitement
along the way?
>> They're all so different,
but whose dream do we buy?
>> And are we basing this just
on tonight or as an overall
aspect of a designer?
Because that's where this
decision is so hard.
They're all capable.
>> I'm gonna start the bidding.
I narrow it down to the thing
that I relate to the most, and
I agree with all of you.
Like, there wasn't one perfect
collection.
>> That is why I think the
consistency and the cohesiveness
of the collection has to be
paramount.
And I think Michael did that.
>> Michael tonight, I think he
had too much of a commercial
hat on.
I didn't see ideas.
I didn't see a fantasy and a
dream.
>> But if you go into a store
and you see a section of a store
and you see clothes in the
section and they look like they
all belong there, you get it.
Otherwise, it looks very
disparate.
>> Who can take all their ideas
and translate them into
something that would be
successful at retail?
>> But that's exactly the point.
Ideas.
Who has the best ideas?
>> Yes, more than anything in
the world, I want that prize.
I need that prize.
>> Yeah.
>> But I have, like, a very
happy glow just being satisfied
in my heart with what I did.
We're just all so relieved to
be finished.
There's nothing I can do but
just sit and await the verdict.
>> At this point, I am so done
with the bad...
>> Just relieved.
>> That I'm just going to be
good right now.
>> So we've all made our
decision?
>> Yes.
>> Then let's bring out the
designers.
>> Okay, guys, let's go do this.
>> Austin, Michael, and Mondo...
Three months ago, you joined us
as All-Stars.
You created outfits made out of
lights, inspired by flags, and
out of materials from the
99-cent store.
You designed for Miranda Kerr,
Miss Piggy, the opera, and
Broadway.
And you even persuaded people
to trade with you the clothes
off their backs.
[Laughter]
But now it's down to business.
One of you will win the biggest
prize in Project Runway history.
>> Austin, Michael, and Mondo,
one of you will win the biggest
prize in Project Runway history.
The winner will sell their
merchandise within an exclusive
boutique at select
Neiman Marcus stores and
neimanmarcus.Com, a spread in
Marie Claire magazine and a
position as guest editor for a
year, $100,000 in technology
and office space from HP and
Intel, a sewing and embroidery
studio provided by Brother
International, and a cash prize
of $100,000, courtesy of L'Oreal
Paris.
That sounds like a life-changing
package to me.
You're all so talented.
But there can only be one
winner.
There are no losers on
All Stars.
So both runners-up will receive
an incredible getaway, courtesy
of Openskies Airlines and the
Dorchester Collection hotels,
to...
Paris.
>> [Gasps] Oh, my gosh.
[Chuckles]
>> Each designer and a guest
will get the royal treatment
flying in the exclusive premium
transatlantic airlines
Openskies for a weekend stay at
one of Paris's five-star
hotels--one at Le Meurice and
one at Plaza Athenee.
Michael, you have achieved so
much in the short space of time
this season.
We're thrilled with the work
that you've done, and we all
know that you have a fantastic
future ahead of you.
Michael...
I'm sorry, but you are out.
Here are your tickets to Paris.
Well done.
>> I do feel really hurt at
this point.
This is all I've ever wanted.
But this experience has
definitely changed my life.
It opens up my eyes to be more
creative, think outside of the
box.
I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
I'm looking in my hand, and I'm
walking away with two tickets to
Paris.
[Laughs]
I'm going to Paris.
>> And now the moment we've all
been waiting for.
Austin, you've come such a long
way since appearing on the
first-ever Project Runway.
We are so proud of your success,
and we know you will go on to
even greater things.
Mondo, you have an incredible
talent complete with all the
high and lows that come with
being a creative person.
We love the way you channel that
energy and use it to create
work.
Mondo, Austin, one of you is
the winner of Project Runway:
All Stars.
The winner of Project Runway:
All Stars is...
Mondo!
Congratulations, Mondo.
I'm sorry to say, Austin, but
you're out.
You did an amazing job.
Congratulations.
Here are your tickets to Paris.
>> Thank you.
This is a wonderful consolation.
>> Thank you, Austin.
You can leave the runway.
>> Project Runway: All Stars
has been an incredible gift.
Of course, I believe that I
should have won.
I believe that I've shown that
I have everything that it takes
to be the star of stars.
Farewell.
>> Ohh, I can't believe it.
Whoa.
Being on Project Runway:
All Stars has been the hardest
thing I've done.
I thought Project Runway season
eight was hard, but this was
leaps and bounds, like, beyond
difficult.
>> You're a brilliant designer,
and you create beautiful
clothes, and I'm so excited
we're now gonna have a chance to
buy them.
Thank you.
>> I'm very excited for you.
Congratulations.
We're thrilled you're part of
Neiman Marcus, and I can't wait
to introduce you to all of our
customers all over the country.
They are going to love and adore
you.
>> Oh, thank you.
Thank you so much. Wow.
>> You're incredibly talented.
>> Thank you.
>> Congratulations, and never
give up.
>> Oh, thank you so much.
>> You should enjoy yourself,
darling.
It's a very long row to hoe.
>> Okay.
>> So have fun.
>> I'll work on that, I promise.
I will.
Thank you.
>> There she is.
>> Hello.
>> Thank you.
>> Well done. I am so thrilled.
I'm so thrilled.
And I can't wait to see you take
up your seat at Marie Claire.
>> Oh, my gosh, I'm so excited.
>> Oh, champagne.
Fantastic.
>> Here, darling.
[Applause]
>> Yay.
I came here with such confidence
and an understanding of who I
was.
At least I thought I did.
But being put in these
challenges amongst such a
talented group of designers has
made me realize that I can't
take this for granted--
I can't take what I have been
given, my art, for granted--
and that I have to celebrate
that or it can be lost very
easily.
>> You deserve it, you really
do.
You really do.
You really deserve it.
>> I love you so much.
>> I love you too.
>> Oh, my God, can you imagine
what my parents are gonna say?
>> No.
