OK, "Project Runway" fans! Here's a rundown of the collections featured in today's final presentation, broken down by designer:

Sweet P.
Applause rating: Big
Opening quote: "I hope you enjoy my collection as much as I do."
Standouts from the collection: Yellow jacket with a cinched waist, over a fitted, strapless purple shimmery gown; High-waisted red and green plain trousers; Striped dress with ruffles at the sleeves and up the skirt

Verdict: One of the best collections


Chris
Applause rating: Huge - the loudest of the presentation
Opening quote: "I ... holy cow. ... I never knew that living my life one day at a time would leave me to this day, this hour and this moment."
Standouts from the collection: Cinched waist jacket with human hair sleeves, burgundy one-strap evening gown; burgundy cocktail dress with slight bustle
Verdict: Good, but the human hair was distracting. (Really - what was he thinking?!)


Jillian
Applause rating: Decent
Opening quote: "This is my first collection. ... I was so inspired and I hope you all can see where I was coming from."
Standouts from the collection: Belted trench with fedora; flouncy cocktail dress; corseted metallic gown
Verdict: Some items hit the mark, others fell short


Rami
Applause rating: Decent
Opening quote: "I think women should be cherished and treated as beautiful muses every day."
Standouts from the collection: Teal two-piece tailored skirt suit; boxy magenta shift dress; gold Grecian one-strap gown
Verdict: Lots of draping (of course) and the evening wear was phenomenal


Christian
Applause rating: Huge, only second to Chris
Opening quote: "Ooh - everybody here looks fierce."
Standouts from the collection: Black ruffled bubble skirt with fitted black shirt; cream and brown ruffled belted gown
Verdict: Some outfits were "fierce," as Christian would say, but others were a bit hideous. One oversized ruffled collar looked like a beard on the model while a feather-emblazoned dress was simply too much.
