It’s been three months, and the end is here! “Project Runway” concluded its 17th season on Thursday night with “The Final Runway.” It was an especially meaningful moment since this season marked the return of the series to Bravo after spending the last 10 years on Lifetime. It was also the first season without original host Heidi Klum and mentor Tim Gunn, who were replaced by Karlie Kloss and Christian Siriano, respectively. So how did the show wrap up? Did the right designer win? Scroll down for our live blog with all the minute-by-minute developments as they happen.
Last week the judges sent home Bishme Cromartie, narrowing down the show to the final three: Hester Sunshine, Garo Sparo and Sebastian Grey. I was surprised by the judges’ choice in “One Elle of a Day” given how consistent Cromartie had been all season: only one low score and then one final...

If it were up to us, "Project Runway" would never be "out," it would just play on a loop 24/7/365.
Sadly, Season 14 will say auf wiedersehen on Thursday, November 5th, so now seems like a good time to take stock and rank the previous 13 seasons, with the expectation that the 2015 season will probably fall somewhere in the middle of the pack once it's done. (Tim Gunn "hated" Season 14, but there have been worse.) Every season of PR is a precious, unique little rhinestone, but, like the judges, we have our favorites -- and now it's Our turn to be biased.
So here's our very subjective but still definitive worst-to-best ranking, which may only be challenged by a glare from Nina Garcia, an eye roll from Michael Kors, a "make it work" from Tim Gunn, or an "out" from Heidi Klum.

For not even being of legal drinking age, he sure is partying pretty late. Bieber’s entourage was reportedly rude to other patrons at the club, refusing to let the singer get photographed. Additionally, Chloe Melas has learned that Bieber is still sour about Selena Gomez. Sources tell Chloe that Biebs is not a fan of his ex-girlfriend’s new music, thinking it’s just “okay.” Shade!

Competition reality television can be a cruel mistress. The moments when you behave like a perfectly decent person end up on the cutting room floor while the one time you snarl at a competitor who richly deserves it, they put it on a loop. But this season of "Project Runway" had to be one of the nicest in recent memory. It was low on villains, high on little acts of kindness, and featured some pretty damn good clothing to boot. But maybe I feel that way because the competitor for whom I was rooting, Michelle Lesniak Franklin, took home top honors....

It's the finale of "Project Runway" Season 11. On last week's part one of the finale, Daniel Esquivel was eliminated, which left Michelle Lesniak Franklin, Patricia Michaels and Stanley Hudson to battle it out for the win.
So who takes home the $100,000, the Lexus Gs 350 and the fashion spread in Marie Claire?
Michelle Lesniak Franklin was crowned the winner of "Project Runway" Season 11, after all three designers showed their collections in the final runway show at Lincoln Center in front of the usual judges plus guest judge Michael Kors.
Michelle's final collection included some delightfully creative pieces. She had a "huntress urban woman" look to her collection and the judges particularly liked her bleeding-heart sweater.
What do you think, fans? Did the right designer win?...

A new designer has risen. On tonight's Project Runway season finale, Stanley Hudson, Michelle Lesniak Franklin and Patricia Michaels watched their professional dreams come true as they all showed collections—even Stanley, who was more down to the wire than any contestant in series history—at Lincoln Center during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York City. And while we love us some Zac Posen, former full-time judge Michael Kors was back just in time to add some much-need snark to the proceedings. As promised by the fierce leather "lone wolf" coat she teased her collection with last week, Michelle trotted out the assortment of structured, urban-warfare-ready (but yet...
