Talk about fierce: 21-year-old Christian Siriano was crowned the youngest winner of Bravo's Project Runway Wednesday night.
Jillian Lewis, 26, was the first to be dismissed last night; Rami Kashou, 31, came in second.
Siriano wowed the judges with his dramatic and elaborate collection, which featured skinny trousers, big belts and a two-tone feathered gown. (Click here to see his winning designs.)
Using his trademark phrase on the show, host Heidi Klum told Siriano, "You're uber-fierce!" after his win.
"You have a flair for the drama," said judge Michael Kors of the Annapolis, Maryland, native, who won $100,000, a 2008 Saturn Astra and a spread in Elle magazine, as well as an opportunity to sell his collection on Bluefly.com.
But the real praise came from guest judge Victoria Beckham, who told Siriano his collection made her smile.
"I would be honored to wear any piece of your clothing," she said.
What's next for the designer?
"I'm, like, really excited but, let me tell you, I am taking, like, a vay-cay. I need a breaky-break," he said in a post-show interview.
"This won't be the last of Christian Siriano. I mean, people need to see more of the fierceness."
Read a complete recap of the show here.

Is it just me, or does he look like a Gay version of Harry Potter? What's with him standing like Peter Pan too? Aside from the fact he won, atleast now he'll go away, and his 15 min of fame were up once the show ended and the news reports of him winning blow over.

Rami's line was the best. Christian and Jillian only had a couple of good pieces each. I was very surprised that I didn't like Jillian's better. She used a very drab color palette and some of it was weird - like the cut-outs. But I think she has a bright future. I didn't like the blue or the green that Rami used. Christian's line was way too much black. Christian is basically the kind of imitation couture that people like Victoria Beckham think is sophisticated. But she is really not known for good taste.

The thing about Christian's line, is that it is "high fashion". It is not something that can be bought at Walmart or Target for the masses. He has a flair for drama, his craftsmanship is spectacular and I see him doing very well in the Haute Couture. I am so glad he won, he really is talented, and the judges were correct in their comments last night. He was consistent, and his line could be seen in Vogue, Harper's Bazar like yesterday!! Go Christian!!

Dammit, Us Weekly, I haven't seen it yet! Did you have to put it in the title??? You could've said: "Winner of Project Runway Revealed" or something. Christ! I didn't want him to win, either.

His clothes look like dated items found in a cheap, discount store. He, himself looks like that too.
The other two were better.

I agree that Christian's collection was very predictible. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY to many puffy shirts. It's like that episode of Seinfild where everyone is all worked up about the puffy shirt! I don't get the allure of the puffy shirt.

the reasons why i don't like christian's line: 1.its too scene/pete wentz-y 2.he did keep the theme in his collection BUT... it was mostly neutrals 3.too many puffy stuff. you're supposed to make a person feel beautiful, not like a marshmallow if he would have strayed from the whole scene thing, and did something very unpredictable, he probably still would have won. hes too stuck on his OWN tastes to realize what people want. only certian body types can wear the scene/emo/romantigoth look that he aimed for. in my opinion, it should have came down to either Jillian or Rami, with Jillian winning.

I was so disappointed last night. Jillian's collection was wonderful. I even though that Rami's collection was totally glamorous and chic for the right person.
I don't like that little self-involved, annoying twerp any more than I like his clothes.

And what was with his hair-do? That was so NOT fierce.

I have to agree with 12:23 PM Ed Tharp. He never varied his color palette the whole season. All his clothes were to haute coutre. It sort of seemed obvious that the judges were leaning his way from early in the season. He seemed to be the judges favorite, not actually seeing what the other designers were made up of. If Laura from last season made what he made she would have been "AUF" early in the season.

Congratulations to Christian! He stood out from the pack from the beginning and has a personality to match! He had vision and skill and Michael Kors started his line when he was 21 too. My daughter and I loved him and cannot wait to follow his blooming career. It may not be the kind of clothes you could throw on everyday, but that is what high fashion is about. I too think Rami and Jillian and Chris for that matter will be just fine, they all were amazing as well. Jillian has more of the look an everyday woman could wear. Rami did amazing pieces and evening gowns. It was a fierce season, to use Christian's fav phrase!
