There's something so amazing about achieving a dream.
Do you think you should have won? Um It is tough.
Hello! I wanted to dig a hole in the runway and, like, bury myself that day.
Which judge do you fear the most? Michael Kors better watch out.
Exactly.
"JoshuaCongratulations.
" I'm like, "ohh.
" Both the boys had really strong collections.
I felt that it wasn't the strongest collection on the runway.
Buckle up, 'cause it's gonna be a bumpy ride.
After the Runway 1x04 Tying up Loose Ends Welcome, everyone, to our big finale of After the Runway.
I'm your host, Zanna Roberts Rossi.
Tonight, we're gonna talk with our Season Nine finalists and this year's Project Runway winner.
Anya, congratulations, darling! I have to give you a hug.
Congratulations.
How you feeling? Oh, my gosh, fantastic.
literally being bottom [Laughs.]
I mean, it was, to be fair.
You were panicking, your looks were all over the place.
And then you literally pulled it out.
Nina said something to me in the critique, and it really hit home.
She said, um, "Anya, you know, you are the only one standing here who can design the way you do.
" As each of us can, in our own way.
And it just switched something on in me.
I am from the Caribbean.
It's who I am.
And it's when I just connected to that and just threw the rest of it out the window.
Then I just gave up about competing.
I think when we all did that, like, this last day, we enjoyed it so much.
I could sense that.
Almost the atmosphere wasn't competition, it was just like, "come on, we're comrades.
We're just--solidarity.
Let's get through this.
" Joshua, what do you want to say to Anya? I think we've really built a really great relationship Despite the moments of competition, you guys have still been-- But it is a competition, and we are both Highly competitive.
Highly, highly competitive.
But it's wonderful to walk away with this with not only a friend, but someone that you're happy for.
She'll take a sewing class.
You know it.
Maybe from you.
No, you know what? She can hire me to sew now.
These hugs and these emotions that we share for each other are insanely genuine.
That was a moment.
It was so sweet, yeah.
So, Viktor, tell me, what do you think about Anya's win? I think, ultimately, I'm super-happy for her.
I think she deserves it.
We all worked very hard.
Do you think you should have won? Um I mean, I wanna say yes, but that's selfish.
But I think that we all worked hard, and I think she deserved it.
Like I said in my final interview, it's almost like the cherry on top.
But I still have the ice cream.
I love that.
Kimberly, how about you? What do you feel about Anya winning? I feel like, if it wasn't me, I'm so happy that it's Anya.
Early on in the completion, I said to her, "Anya, the judges have an affection for you that was soclear," and that's before we even knew anything-- Why do you think that was? She's lovable, I mean You know, she has formed friendships with just about all of us here on the show.
So you just have an affection for her.
But you must be disappointed.
Yeah, of course.
Of course I am.
But that does not take away how happy and proud I am.
How 'bout you, Josh? Are you disappointed? You know, when you come that close, there's always going to be disappointment.
Hip to the post again by-- Truly, I'm like [Gasping.]
You know, it should have just been like, "Joshua, congratulations.
" I'm like, "ohh.
" [Laughter.]
Oh, sweetheart.
If only, um Did you think there was a chance you were gonna be there? You know, I did.
I felt that I had a very good critique on the runway.
And I think that, hearing their critiques, you know, it gives me butterflies and it makes my heart smile, because it's been a very long journey for me on the show.
How did you feel after the Q&A with the judges? I mean, I think it was I think what-- i mean, I was a little bit hurt.
And just because I think that I was trying to edit myself for them.
And, ultimately, what I had, I did have more tailored pieces and things like that that I could have shown that I edited out.
But I don't regret anything I did.
Kimberly, how about you? How did you feel after you had the deliberation? I was resigned that, whichever way it went, I was proud and, you know.
That's why, on the runway, when i said my good-byes, there were no tears.
Yeah, it was super celebratory.
Yes, I was just extremely, extremely happy to have been here this entire time.
When she said her good-byes, I think it--and thank you so much, because I feel like I-- I saw how you deliver and thanked them, and I think-- No, you absolutely did.
Thank you so much.
Well, it's been such a roller coaster for all of you.
I want to take a look at some of the highlights.
[All groan.]
These are my pants.
They look great.
I know it's a little '80s.
Looks a little bit more modern and chic.
It's a cool vest.
Do you know who your customer is? She is definitely someone that lives her life in confidence, kind of neurotic.
Okay.
When did you learn how to sew? Actually, when I applied for this.
So you just learned how to sew? I'm horrified.
Anya, I'm happy to see that you can sew.
Great.
Thank you.
Anya, this is a risk.
Do we have a plan "B"? I'm amazed at the transformation.
Kimberly, you're the winner of this challenge.
Thank you! Surprise! She's wearing my garment.
[Whistle blows.]
The jacket, I have to say, looks like a million bucks.
My God, thank you.
Bert, I'm asking you if this is how it's gonna be for the next two days, because I will not have it, Bert.
Did you see my little heart to my mom? I lost my mom two years ago.
She may be gone, but doesn't mean that the love is gone.
'Cause you got the angel on your shoulder, so keep working hard, okay? I will.
Joshua, I'm shocked that you did not bedazzle her.
I wanted to so bad.
[Laughter.]
You're the winner of this challenge.
I'm thrilled to introduce the Sheepdogs.
I do not do menswear.
Zero, zilch, nada.
I created a garment that's ill-fitted, poorly designed.
I lost my money.
I cannot find my money anywhere.
With $11.
00, you made the pants? That is pretty impressive.
You are the winner of this challenge.
[Gasps.]
How does it feel to you? I don't know.
I'm having a bad day to begin with.
[Screaming.]
[Laughter.]
I am beyond frustrated at this point.
I think that the cut of the dress is fantastic.
Anya You are the clear winner of this challenge.
Thank you so much.
Final four, congratulations to all four of you.
I got a kiss! I think it's one of the homeliest textiles I've ever seen in my entire life.
Look at your face! I like that.
Can I express a disappointment of sorts? Do we want to see the remaining seven looks? I don't know.
[Crying.]
It's disappointing on so many levels.
I wanna say thank you to the world's best support system.
My friends and my sister, this is for you.
Oh, my God, this is such a dream.
You know, it's very personal.
I hope you guys enjoy it.
[Applause.]
This collection, I'd like to dedicate to my mother, who has given me strength.
So I hope you enjoy.
Oh, you went to kiss them? I want to dedicate this to my brother Pilar, whose life has inspired me to follow my dream.
Please enjoy the show.
Anya Congratulations.
You are the winner of Project Runway! Oh, my God.
[Gasps.]
Oh, my God.
Wow.
[Giggles.]
What a journey! I mean, how do you all sum up your experience on Project Runway? Kimberly It was an amazing experience.
So this experience is, bar none, like, invaluable.
Viktor, how 'bout you? It just means everything.
I think the most amazing experience was just meeting you guys.
Like, at the end, when we were all there and working on our collection Like, I'm just getting chills just talking about it.
Like, I truly felt the connection between all of us.
Yeah.
And it's just major, like I--after this, I know we're all gonna hang out and talk to each other and support each other.
I think everyone can see it's really genuine.
You know, you felt it in that show, and you just really feel it right here, right now.
Joshua, how 'bout you? It taught me that there's a long journey ahead of me, but it's going to be one that's going to be beautiful.
Anya, how about you? There's something so amazing about achieving a dream.
In a very real, tangible way, we all have done that.
And, um, I feel very inspired by--by what we've all achieved.
And I think that it's inspiring to other people too.
And that's the most amazing part of it.
Wow, well, I'm really inspired by all of you.
Seriously.
But before we take a quick break, we have a very special guest.
Let's welcome Nick Verreos.
Hello! Oh, my dear.
But look at this.
Congratulations.
Amazing.
You know, I really-- I want to talk to you about how fabulous the collections were.
All of you guys.
Kimberly, I loved that purple dress.
Gorgeous.
And that black gown, hello! Amazing.
Oh, honey.
Viktor, I loved the prints.
First of all, Mexico.
You had me there.
I'm half Latino, so when you said, "I was inspired by Mexico, I was like, "you go on, sister.
" I loved all that--that back, the leather straps in your prints.
But I have to say, I agreed with the judges, it was fun.
Because I saw the chiffon gowns, and I said, the first thing I thought is, "gorgeous.
" But you needed lining.
You know? And then, honey [Laughter.]
OhOh, honey.
What? No, first of all, no, no, no.
I absolutely--I remember when those gals came down.
The jersey, the draped, and then the plastic contrasting.
It was unbelievable.
Thank you.
And then, all of a sudden, Olivia Newton-John showed up! With the green shorts.
But all of a sudden, then you did almost a Victoria Beckham-looking dress.
A great sheath dress with the plunging neckline.
And I said, "what does that hot, sexy dress have to do with the green shorts?" Right.
And then, oh, my goodness.
The winner.
The winner.
Unbelievable.
From that first gown that came out, easy, breezy, elegant Lux resort.
That's all I thought.
It--and it was together.
And it was cohesive.
And, like they said, you had your brand.
Mm-hmm.
You know, whereas you talked about you're still sort of finding it.
And I'll tell you, it's those-- those dresses and the drape dresses, all that.
That's--that's you.
But you had it.
It's done.
You can go from here, tomorrow.
You're done, honey.
It's Lux resort.
Wow, thank you.
Michael Kors better watch out.
Because that's what I felt.
Thank you so much, Nate.
It's really good to hear from his point of view.
Well, we've got to take a quick break, but we will be back with some very special guests who all want to say congratulations to all of you.
Don't go away.
Welcome back, everyone.
Now we're gonna bring out some people who are dying to congratulate you all.
Come on out, guys.
Hi, guys.
Come on in, come on in.
Seat, seat.
How are you? Come on in.
Congratulations.
Aww.
That's exciting.
[Laughter and chatter.]
I'm so glad you're all here.
Together--the finale.
Thank you.
What do you al think of our winner? You know, Anya was such a close friend, so I can't help but be very proud of her.
And, I mean, she's worked very hard.
It would be fair to say you've worked your butt off.
Anthony Ryan, what do you think? I think it's great.
She knows I've rooted for her from the get-go.
She knows I love her, but I am surprised at the same time.
Who did you think was gonna win? These two--both the boys had really strong collections.
I felt that it wasn't the strongest collection on the runway.
I think they've all got great potential.
I sort of, when I saw Josh's coming down the runway, I thought his was the strongest at that moment.
I mean, they're very different styles.
Is Project Runway as hard as as everyone makes out to be? Kimberly, what do you think? Harder.
Oh, yeah, it's hard.
Harder? Oh, yes, it's extreme-- I mean, what--in what real situation are you gonna have to make a dress in, like, four or five hours? I mean, it's a recipe for disaster.
But it takes endurance, it takes strength.
You have to be a very quick thinker.
You know, it's do or die in situations, and really just bringing it up, you know, to your best level at every moment and making it work.
The show really was a challenge for all of us in different ways.
I mean, getting along, living together, dealing with all the stress.
I mean, it was really--it was very complicated.
Okay, here's a question I want you all to be very honest about.
Which judge do you fear the most--Heidi, Nina, or Michael? Well, umcoming into the show, I thought it was gonna be Nina, 'cause she just seems scary, just watching the show.
You know? But, um, actually, yeah, it'd have to say Heidi.
They don't really go together.
I do not love the bubble butt.
It looks like a cartoon.
I think that skirt is awful.
Not that I was scared of her, but she's very, likejust sharp and just--she'll just cut you down just right at the knee.
Just take you out.
[Laughter.]
Oh, Laura, how about you? I'm totally different.
I--I felt that Heidi was somebody that I was like, "Oh, okay, well, I know Heidi will always say something good.
" I wasn't scared of Nina.
However, I knew she was my toughest obstacle.
I think this looks like a lady's jacket from a mall.
Charles Manson cult or something.
It was just bad.
And it looks cheap.
Viktor.
Heidi probably didn't really believe in me so much.
The whole thing is just bad.
And the concept was circus.
I can't see anyone, really, in this.
I wasn't afraid of her, but she was definitely someone that I wanted to get her attention.
Wanted to impress.
You know, it's--you get sweaty up there.
It's hot, you know? Yeah, that's true.
I actually got--I would just get more pissed up there than anything.
I didn't really, like--I wouldn't get nervous about them.
I would just be like, "ugh.
" Thank you so much for sharing all that.
Do not go away, 'cause we will be right back to hear more from our designers.
Welcome back, everyone.
We are talking to our Project Runway designers.
I thought it would be fun for us all to get the heart and humor of your experience on Project Runway.
What do you all think was the best look of the entire season? Laura.
I probably would think that my most favorite thing was, in the '70s challenge, the black jumper I did, because I would wear that in an instant.
Otherwise, it's funny-- I really go to that challenge 'cause I'm obsessed with '70s glam.
And, um, the jumper that Anya made, I really liked that.
I'm such a jumper, '70s kind of girl.
The print was beautiful, and the sheer back I really liked.
It was amazing.
Think it was great.
Viktor, how 'bout you? What's your favorite? Of course one of mine.
[Laughter.]
Let's not be modest now.
The New Balance.
I think I liked the combination of the jacket with the, with that, you know, very raw dress, but one of my favorites was definitely Josh's, the bird challenge.
The orange.
Yeah, the orange one.
I think it was just so effortless, but it had so much structure, in a way.
It's like, I've never seen that, and it was such a stunner for me--I liked it a lot.
Thank you.
That was my favorite too.
What do you think was the worst look of the season? Joshua.
That '70s challenge, you know, I need to, like, kind of lock myself in and do a lot of research, you know? It was horrendous.
[Laughter.]
But these two girls on the menswear challenge.
Pocahontas and the old man pajamas? [All groan.]
Not even you, but hers-- No, I think my answer--no.
Like, I wanted to dig a hole in the runway and, like, bury myself that day.
It was that bad.
When I watched that episode, I was like Olivier, which do you think? I think my--my bottom half of the avante-garde challenge was kind of a disaster and Anthony Ryan.
We all know what my bad one was.
Ohh.
The camel-toe short, by chance? Yes.
Uck.
And it was such an experience.
Is there any advice that you would give to future people going on Project Runway? Josh.
You know, I think everything in life, just do it.
Because, like Anya says-- That's a commercial.
Yeah, but have a--you know, it's--you get one chance.
Go for it.
Hear, hear.
Viktor, what's your advice? Buckle up, 'cause it's gonna be a bumpy ride.
[Laughter.]
How 'bout you, Kimberly? You need to be prepared.
You need to come onto this show being strong--emotionally, mentally, physically.
Like, you have to have all of that strength to get through this, because it is tough.
The winner, do you have any advice for any aspiring designer? What I learned is that every time we did what we really, truly believed in is when we succeeded.
And I really feel that that's something that you can take through whatever it is you're trying to achieve.
What would be the one thing that you're gonna do now? I think that a lot has happened in a short space of time.
A lot of growth.
We were just saying, looking over, that it looks like, you know, years have passed.
And I feel that it's very important to absorb that and learn from it and-- You'll be back home, or you're gonna stay around for a while? No, I'm moving to New York.
Whoo-hoo! On the team.
Oh, Trinidad will always be home, but I think that it's time to take it to the next level Good for you.
Really excited about that.
How 'bout you, Joshua? What's next? You know, I already have some things in the works with some projects that they're excited about as well.
Can you tell us anything? That involve bedazzling.
Yes! I am not one to talk about bedazzling right now, am I? I'm gonna go bedazzle the whole country, so get ready.
Viktor, how about you? What's next? I think, you know, working on my next collection, and just creating--instead of a 12 look, I wanna be--make like a 30 look.
And most importantly, inspire people to become designers.
How about you, Kimberly? I think I'm gonna initially start off with, you know, some of my charitable, um, endeavors, you know.
Talk to some kids and childrens about their dreams and, you know, going for it.
That's really near and dear to my heart, so It truly was a great season.
Congratulations, Anya, and to all of you.
I really enjoyed watching, and I know we will be here again at this time next year.
Cheerio.
Hugs! Hugs, hugs, hugs.
Congratulations, sweetheart.
Congratulations.
You have to say bye now!
There's something so amazing about achieving a dream.
Do you think you should have won? Um It is tough.
Hello! I wanted to dig a hole in the runway and, like, bury myself that day.
Which judge do you fear the most? Michael Kors better watch out.
Exactly.

But all of a sudden, then you did almost a Victoria Beckham-looking dress.
A great sheath dress with the plunging neckline.
And I said, "what does that hot, sexy dress have to do with the green shorts?" Right.
And then, oh, my goodness.
The winner.
The winner.
Unbelievable.
From that first gown that came out, easy, breezy, elegant Lux resort.
That's all I thought.
It--and it was together.
And it was cohesive.
And, like they said, you had your brand.
Mm-hmm.
You know, whereas you talked about you're still sort of finding it.
And I'll tell you, it's those-- those dresses and the drape dresses, all that.
That's--that's you.
But you had it.
It's done.
You can go from here, tomorrow.
You're done, honey.
It's Lux resort.
Wow, thank you.
Michael Kors better watch out.
Because that's what I felt.
Thank you so much, Nate.
It's really good to hear from his point of view.
Well, we've got to take a quick break, but we will be back with some very special guests who all want to say congratulations to all of you.
Don't go away.
Welcome back, everyone.
Now we're gonna bring out some people who are dying to congratulate you all.
Come on out, guys.
Hi, guys.
Come on in, come on in.
Seat, seat.
How are you? Come on in.
Congratulations.
Aww.
That's exciting.
[Laughter and chatter.]
I'm so glad you're all here.
Together--the finale.
Thank you.
What do you al think of our winner? You know, Anya was such a close friend, so I can't help but be very proud of her.
And, I mean, she's worked very hard.
It would be fair to say you've worked your butt off.
Anthony Ryan, what do you think? I think it's great.
She knows I've rooted for her from the get-go.
She knows I love her, but I am surprised at the same time.
Who did you think was gonna win? These two--both the boys had really strong collections.
I felt that it wasn't the strongest collection on the runway.
I think they've all got great potential.
I sort of, when I saw Josh's coming down the runway, I thought his was the strongest at that moment.
I mean, they're very different styles.
Is Project Runway as hard as as everyone makes out to be? Kimberly, what do you think? Harder.
Oh, yeah, it's hard.
Harder? Oh, yes, it's extreme-- I mean, what--in what real situation are you gonna have to make a dress in, like, four or five hours? I mean, it's a recipe for disaster.
But it takes endurance, it takes strength.
You have to be a very quick thinker.
You know, it's do or die in situations, and really just bringing it up, you know, to your best level at every moment and making it work.
The show really was a challenge for all of us in different ways.
I mean, getting along, living together, dealing with all the stress.
I mean, it was really--it was very complicated.
Okay, here's a question I want you all to be very honest about.
Which judge do you fear the most--Heidi, Nina, or Michael? Well, umcoming into the show, I thought it was gonna be Nina, 'cause she just seems scary, just watching the show.
You know? But, um, actually, yeah, it'd have to say Heidi.
They don't really go together.
I do not love the bubble butt.
It looks like a cartoon.
I think that skirt is awful.
Not that I was scared of her, but she's very, likejust sharp and just--she'll just cut you down just right at the knee.
Just take you out.
[Laughter.]
Oh, Laura, how about you? I'm totally different.
I--I felt that Heidi was somebody that I was like, "Oh, okay, well, I know Heidi will always say something good.
" I wasn't scared of Nina.
However, I knew she was my toughest obstacle.
I think this looks like a lady's jacket from a mall.
Charles Manson cult or something.
It was just bad.
And it looks cheap.
Viktor.
Heidi probably didn't really believe in me so much.
The whole thing is just bad.
And the concept was circus.
I can't see anyone, really, in this.
I wasn't afraid of her, but she was definitely someone that I wanted to get her attention.
Wanted to impress.
You know, it's--you get sweaty up there.
It's hot, you know? Yeah, that's true.
I actually got--I would just get more pissed up there than anything.
I didn't really, like--I wouldn't get nervous about them.
I would just be like, "ugh.
" Thank you so much for sharing all that.
Do not go away, 'cause we will be right back to hear more from our designers.
Welcome back, everyone.
We are talking to our Project Runway designers.
I thought it would be fun for us all to get the heart and humor of your experience on Project Runway.
What do you all think was the best look of the entire season? Laura.
I probably would think that my most favorite thing was, in the '70s challenge, the black jumper I did, because I would wear that in an instant.
Otherwise, it's funny-- I really go to that challenge 'cause I'm obsessed with '70s glam.
And, um, the jumper that Anya made, I really liked that.
I'm such a jumper, '70s kind of girl.
The print was beautiful, and the sheer back I really liked.
It was amazing.
Think it was great.
Viktor, how 'bout you? What's your favorite? Of course one of mine.
[Laughter.]
Let's not be modest now.
The New Balance.
I think I liked the combination of the jacket with the, with that, you know, very raw dress, but one of my favorites was definitely Josh's, the bird challenge.
The orange.
Yeah, the orange one.
I think it was just so effortless, but it had so much structure, in a way.
It's like, I've never seen that, and it was such a stunner for me--I liked it a lot.
Thank you.
That was my favorite too.
What do you think was the worst look of the season? Joshua.
That '70s challenge, you know, I need to, like, kind of lock myself in and do a lot of research, you know? It was horrendous.
[Laughter.]
But these two girls on the menswear challenge.
Pocahontas and the old man pajamas? [All groan.]
Not even you, but hers-- No, I think my answer--no.
Like, I wanted to dig a hole in the runway and, like, bury myself that day.
It was that bad.
When I watched that episode, I was like Olivier, which do you think? I think my--my bottom half of the avante-garde challenge was kind of a disaster and Anthony Ryan.
We all know what my bad one was.
Ohh.
The camel-toe short, by chance? Yes.
Uck.
And it was such an experience.
Is there any advice that you would give to future people going on Project Runway? Josh.
You know, I think everything in life, just do it.
Because, like Anya says-- That's a commercial.
Yeah, but have a--you know, it's--you get one chance.
Go for it.
Hear, hear.
Viktor, what's your advice? Buckle up, 'cause it's gonna be a bumpy ride.
[Laughter.]
How 'bout you, Kimberly? You need to be prepared.
You need to come onto this show being strong--emotionally, mentally, physically.
Like, you have to have all of that strength to get through this, because it is tough.
The winner, do you have any advice for any aspiring designer? What I learned is that every time we did what we really, truly believed in is when we succeeded.
And I really feel that that's something that you can take through whatever it is you're trying to achieve.
What would be the one thing that you're gonna do now? I think that a lot has happened in a short space of time.
A lot of growth.
We were just saying, looking over, that it looks like, you know, years have passed.
And I feel that it's very important to absorb that and learn from it and-- You'll be back home, or you're gonna stay around for a while? No, I'm moving to New York.
Whoo-hoo! On the team.
Oh, Trinidad will always be home, but I think that it's time to take it to the next level Good for you.
Really excited about that.
How 'bout you, Joshua? What's next? You know, I already have some things in the works with some projects that they're excited about as well.
Can you tell us anything? That involve bedazzling.
Yes! I am not one to talk about bedazzling right now, am I? I'm gonna go bedazzle the whole country, so get ready.
Viktor, how about you? What's next? I think, you know, working on my next collection, and just creating--instead of a 12 look, I wanna be--make like a 30 look.
And most importantly, inspire people to become designers.
How about you, Kimberly? I think I'm gonna initially start off with, you know, some of my charitable, um, endeavors, you know.
Talk to some kids and childrens about their dreams and, you know, going for it.
That's really near and dear to my heart, so It truly was a great season.
Congratulations, Anya, and to all of you.
I really enjoyed watching, and I know we will be here again at this time next year.
Cheerio.
Hugs! Hugs, hugs, hugs.
Congratulations, sweetheart.
Congratulations.
You have to say bye now!
