SPOILERS BELOW! STOP READING IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHO WON PROJECT RUNWAY!

The Project Runway season finale was last night, and there were some truly amazing clothes in the show. All three ladies did an amazing job, but of course there can only be one winner.

Carol Hannah's collection was dominated by the dresses and gowns she loves so much and makes so beautifully. The gold gown that her model, Lisa, wore was stunning and fit like a dream. The dress with the upside-down-triangle tulle skirt was a great showpiece, and the teal goddess gown was gorgeous. There were a lot of beautiful pieces in her collection, but the problem was that there was no cohesive color story or through line. It looked disparate, and that's why Carol Hannah was the first designer "aut."

Althea's outing was definitely more successful in the "collection" department. You could tell she was designing for a specific women, and some of the pieces echoed her best work from the season. As the judges said, Althea is really clued in to what hip, cool girls want to wear. She sent out a collection of wearable separates/sportswear, but in the end, there wasn't enough of a "wow" factor, so Althea was out.

Leaving Irina the winner!!! Her collection was the strongest in every sense. There was vision, it was styled impeccably, and the clothes looked new, and I would wear almost every single piece she sent down the runway - leather leggings, amazing oversize sweaters, a hooded faux-fur vest, and so much more to covet. Almost everything was black, which got a little criticism from the judges, but overall the collection was the clear winner. Congrats, Irina!
