The stakes are high for the designers showing at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Who had the winning collection? Keep reading for our recap of the ‘Project Runway’ season 12 finale!
The episode began with anxiety and excitement as Tim guided Alexandria, Dom, Justin, and Bradon through the last two days before the runway show. The designers still had to create the Tide “Washable Fabrics” look and finalize hair, make-up, model fittings, and last-minute construction issues — all in two work days!
Project Runway Finale Recap:
Alexandria talked with Tim about her frustrations with Nina’s remarks during the last episode. She decides to change the t-shirts in her collection for the show, which means she makes even more clothes on top of the original 30 pieces.
Bradon hilariously decides that simply walking between the sewing room and his workspace is a waste of time, and chooses instead to run in between the two places!

Well, "Project Runway" fans, it's the big night. Tonight, we'll learn who is the winner of Season 12 - Dom, Alexandria, Justin, or Bradon. And we'll be live-blogging along as we watch and critique. We'd like to say we have our formal wear on, but we do have a glass a wine! Let's go!
The current Hollywood darling and "It" girl, Kerry Washington, is guest judging for the finale, and we can't wait to hear what she has to say about the designers.
9:01: We still can't believe Helen is out.
9:03: The Tide Washable Challenge ($250 to spend) means that they have to throw out one of their designs, and make a "washable" look. So off to Mood. Justin is making a sweater-ish vest. Alexandria is looking for pants in a washable fabric. Dom is doing a color-blocked dress. Justin finds a washable silk jersey.
9:05: Seriously, Justin,...

We're a week away from the Season 12 finale, "Project Runway" fans, and that means that someone's dreams are about to ripped right out of their hands.
After last week's cop-out of an episode that eliminated no one, tasking all five remaining designers to return home and build a collection for New York Fashion Week, though only two had guaranteed spots, it was time to reveal who would be joining Dom and Bradon in the actual, official, for-real finale: Justin, Helen or Alexandria.
This episode felt especially cruel, as all five designers were sent home and tasked to create a collection for the finale, complete with the requisite visit from Tim Gunn at their home. (Dom's prints: Swoon! Helen's construction: Worry! Alexandria's lack of color: Snore!) However, for three of these remarkably talented contestants, there was one final challenge. Upon returning to NY, after creating, I repeat for dramatic emphasis,...

We're down to five designers on Season 12 of "Project Runway," with the dismissal of Kate and Alexander. Next week is the first part of the finale... so this is a big challenge - the final four move ahead to New York Fashion Week. We're close to the end. So get a glass of something and let's dig in, shall we?
Left in the competition: Dom (who won last week's challenge,) Alexandria, Justin, Bradon, and Helen. Justin knows he's got a target on him, as he's not won once.
Tim Gunn and the designers go on a field trip to Sweetbriar Nature Center in Long Island. It's always fun when the non-nature designers get sent out into nature. They get to take a tour through the butterfly house, along with Billy B., the L'Oreal consulting makeup artist. He and Tim explain the next challenge: an avant garde, daring, cutting edge L'Oreal Makeup Challenge,...

Project Runway Season 12 Episode 12:
Another vacation? Not fair!!!! The designers head to a butterfly house for their next challenge. This week’s challenge is avant-garde, daring and experimental. This is also the L’Oreal challenge.

The workroom seems to be mellow? Where is the drama????? I must say I do miss Ken and Sandro. Just kidding!!!
The makeup room is fabulous...

The contestants’ textile design skills were put to the test this week as they were given the now re-occurring Hp Design challenge. Read Michael Costello’s recap on season 12 episode 11 here! This episode was a lot of fun and one of my favorite challenges, the Hp challenge! Each contestant had to design a print inspired by a local innovator. Which print did you think was the best? Project Runway Season 12 Episode 11 Recap: At first, everyone was terrified about the finals, but once Rob Le Bras-Brown of Hp Worldwide Marketing introduced the challenge, everyone forgot their fears and were excited to make their prints.
Watching the contestants meet their innovators was the best part. Everyone seemed inspired right away except for Alexander and Helen. Helen had a major breakdown in the showroom and was too nervous to design anything. Seriously, honey, just get a backbone, and get to work once in a while.
