Back to Last Week’s Results
Time to find out the fourth designer who made the finale. Joseph is the last designer in the finale. That means Bryan and Naheim have been eliminated. What do you think of these results?
The Final Challenge
For this final challenge, the designers will have one week, a $7,500 budget, and five looks to create. The pressure is on!
To start, the designers meet Christian in his workspace to get some inspiration. The inspiration is done, as they head to the studio!
Day 1 in Workroom
The designers head to the workroom and are surprised by the eliminated designers, who will be working as their design assistants. We have Jeffrey working with Anna, Naheim working with Jude, Bao working with Bi, and Aaron working with Joseph.
Christian then comes in for his first walkthrough. He loves Jude’s sewing skills and wants him to come work for him. He tells him he needs some wow moments and to shock the judges. Joseph said he knows Law hates him, so this collection is for the world and not for the judges. That he’s been fighting this whole time.
Anna’s theme is a mental breakdown. She then feels like Christian is trying to give her one! He wants her to get out of her head and is worried if the collection will be cohesive.
Day 2 Is Here
The winner of “Project Runway” 2026 will get a mentorship with the CFDA. So, Christian brings in a member of the CFDA to meet with these designers and discuss their plans. They talk about their passions.
Final Model Fitting
Things are rushed, as we have only one hour to get through it all. Christian brings in the models for their final fitting before the runway show the next day.
The designers have a lot of work to do. Christian says Jude’s looks are safe. He said Anna is about to surprise the judges, so Jude needs to also. He loves four of Joseph’s looks, but feels the fifth look is just fabric wrapped around the model. Now he has a few hours to get a fifth look made.
Final Runway Day
We have arrived at final runway day on “Project Runway” Season 22. The designers have four hours to get their looks together and their models ready for the runway show. Things are stressful, but everyone is in place.
We are on the runway. Heidi Klum hits the runway. The judges tonight are Heidi, Law Roach, Nina Garcia, and guest judge Fausto Puglisi.
The designers are now showing off their collections. Up first is Bi. We then see Anna and her collection hit the runway. Jude shows third, followed by Joseph to wrap things up. All four designers have shown their collections, so critiques are coming soon!
Judges’ Critiques
The designers are back on the runway. We get some feedback from the judges:
- Jude – Law said this was his first collection, and he can tailor. Fausto said it’s amazing. Nina said you were trying to prove to us that you can tailor, but have a feminine touch. Heidi said she wishes there were more head-turners. Nina said she doesn’t agree.
- Anna – Law said he felt something, and he felt her story. Heidi said it wasn’t super cohesive. Nina said it was absolutely gorgeous and inventive.
- Bi – Nina said he gives us a polished look. It is beautiful. Law said he wants to borrow this look for one of his clients.
- Joseph – Fausto said he sees something authentic. He loved it. Heidi said she loves that he’s loud, and he loved the final look. Nina said the attention to detail goes out the window when it comes to him. However, there is a boldness to him. Heidi said a lot of the clothes are wearable. Law said the clothes are tacky. They are not well-made. He does not see taste. His arrogance will get him nowhere, and he’s delusional.
Results on ‘Project Runway’ Season 22
The judges have a heated discussion while picking the winner. Words were exchanged, but their decision has been made. The winner of “Project Runway” Season 22 is Jude!
DisneyWhat do you think of the results tonight?
