As the ninth season finale of Project Runway came to a close, only one up and coming designer got to take home the coveted title and that was none other than Anya Ayoung-Chee!
The final four, Anya, Joshua McKinley, Victor Luna and Kimberly Goldson, were all competing in a challenge to improve upon past creations. With only $500 additional bucks to spend on materials, their projects would then be shown in a show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in NYC.
