| Christian Siriano |
“It made me smile, and it takes a lot to make me smile.”
And with those words from famously stone faced
Project Runway guest judge
Victoria Beckham, viewers should have known 22- year-old Christian Siriano had a lock on taking home the talent show title on tonight’s season finale.
The pocket gay, as he’s been dubbed online—with lines like crediting himself as “sew fabulous” to his credit—became the youngest winner in the show’s history tonight, with judges Beckham,
Michael Kors and
Elle fashion director
Nina Garcia singing his praises.
The show’s design mentor
Tim Gunn said Siriano and contestant
Jillian Lewis were neck and neck until Beckham’s comment—“That collection is me”—sealed his win.
As in seasons past, Siriano walks away from the show with $100K seed money for his own fashion line, a brand new Saturn and a spread in
Elle Magazine.
After leaving the runway a winner, the notoriously flamboyant Siriano waved a hand in Beckham’s direction and offered a simple, “We’ll be in touch.”
