New York -- Fashion Week and TV came together Friday (Sept. 9) at Lincoln Center for "Project Runway's" finale, with nine designers presenting their collections, ranging from the elegant to the strange.
Though no one theme ruled the runway, the event featured an abundance of flowing clothes; some accessorized with blue wrists and gladiator cuff bracelets. Metallic dresses and shorts remain popular as do completely sheer tops. Apparently, for now, bras and camisoles are out.
"We have been very tough on them, especially me, so I have learned," host and "Project Runway" judge Heidi Klum -- stunning in a backless, black sequined halter and pants -- says of this season's assortment of contestants.
Up first was Laura Kathleen. Like many of the designers, she mentions how seeing her creations on the catwalk is a lifelong ambition.
"I've been dreaming about this moment since I was 13," Kathleen says, explaining that her collection is for "everyday women.

The finalists of ‘Project Runway’ prepared for the biggest moment of their careers this afternoon. Lucky for them, tons of supportive stars stepped out to watch these up-and-coming designers present their amazing spring collections!
Jennifer Love Hewitt, Malin Akerman and Heidi Klum are among of the few A-listers who sat front row at the show.
Heidi looked stunning, donning a black-sequins jumpsuit as she judged the season 9 finale of Project Runway.
But the real stars were the designers who have been competing all year to win Project Runway. Anya Ayoung-Chee rocked the stage showing off an array of wild prints inspired by her Spanish hometown, Port-of-Spain the capital of Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.
Finalist Olivier Green‘s collection was very futuristic — along with her models! And Bert Keeter‘s collection was very chic and sleek!
But overall Kimberly Goldson‘s clothes were a crowd’s favorite. Her collection was...

Season Nine of Project Runway is well underway, and after five episodes, there are still five members of Team Gay left.
Because the early going is basically just whittling down the cast to a reasonable number, we're going to eschew a regular recap and just focus on the highlights. (And many thanks to Ae reader Miz Liz for continuing the recaps in the forums while we were taking a sabbatical).
Seen And Not Heard
This week's competition involves working with children. *shudder* But wait! These aren't ordinary kids, they're art students, so the annoyance level is at a reasonable decibel. The kids create a painting for each designer, and that designer has to use the painting to create something avant-garde for the runway. I was crushed that they didn't have to literally use the painting. I would've given anything to see the models try to navigate the runway with their heads poking through.

Pet Project
This week's competition takes the designers to a pet store, where Tim Gunn tells them that this is one of Project Runway's "unconventional challenges." Wait, aren't most of them? The have to design an outfit made entirely of pet products, but makes a point again that it should be "unconventional," something that one poor Mormon boy should've listened to.
Honey Badger Don't Give A Sh*T
Bert Keeter became an instant audience favorite with his win last week, but apparently he believes that "immunity" means "i'll just take this challenge off." He was shockingly apathetic, and even admitted as much.

Unconventional was the word of the week on 'Project Runway' (Thu., 9Pm Et on Lifetime). While it wasn't perhaps as startling as dumpster-diving for materials, it's certainly stepping way outside of the box to shop on a budget at a pet supplies store.
!!Spoiler Alert!!
As expected, we got varying degrees of styles, though our personal favorite was Anthony Ryan's bird seed mini-dress. The design work with the seeds not only made it look absolutely delicious to our avian friends, but elegant as well.
Nina Garcia, on the other hand, was all about Olivier Green's creation, which utilized the cushion part of a dog bed for a bodice and then pine wood hamster and rabbit bedding for the skirt. Those crazy eyebrows were just to keep you a little unsettled as you looked at the model.
