Ahhhh! It's Olympus Fashion Week and today, the designers from Project Runway showed their collections! Now, as we all know, all four designers from the Final Four - Jeffrey, Laura, Michael and Uli - get to present at Fashion Week, but one of the shows is a decoy, in order for people not to know who the true Final Three are. (Last year, Kara Janx presented at Fashion Week, though Daniel V., Chloe and Santino were the only ones really competing.)

- Heidi Klum's accent is adorable. Sorry, Claudia Schiffer, Heidi is officially the German model of record in our consciousness.

Jeffrey Sebelia, 36, Los Angeles, CA The NY Post had scoop on the New Yorkers: Laura Bennett has five children, has no "formal training" (Marla redux?), and designs clothes and jewelry; Keith Michael is from Brooklyn, designs menswear, was named "best newcomer" by Sportwear International; Malan Breton does voiceover work and was named "one of 12 new designers to watch by Women's Wear Daily in 2005"; and Alison Kelly has a clothing line, Dahl. And we guess the finale will take place during the Spring 2007 fashion shows this fall. If you know anything more, let us know.

So much drama in last night's Project Runway! Zulema did take Tarah, Nick's "muse," during a "walk-off" of three models, and everyone was all "Oh, snap!" or "Damn!" or "WTF"! But you can hardly blame Zulema for trying to get rid of her model, Rachael - it makes sense to want the best model possible. Sadly for Rachael, even Tim Gunn called her an "elongated marshmallow" and commiserated with Nick about being stuck with her; in the one-on-one interview, Rachael said it worked out because Nick was her favorite (we think that's what she said - Gothamist was so swept up in the drama, it was hard for us to compute). Nick's highest point of melodrama is when he was going throw in his Project Runway towel over this, but Daniel V. gave him a tough-love talk to shape up. Aw!

On Wednesday night, Gothamist immediately collapsed because we were so tired from our hours of transit strike-commuting, only to be greeted with yesterday's news that the strike would be over. Which leave us here on Friday to discuss the last episode of Project Runway. For starters, the lingerie challenge meant there was more ass on display than most beaches during spring break (and we were secretly excited to see cellulite on the model's butts - their bodies certainly were hot, but humanish). Also amazing: Daniel Franco's pitch of "Lovemaking" lingerie to Heidi; the editing totally made it look like she was falling in love with him, or, more accurately, his love of fine vestments. If only he could get it together!; also, for his Mrs. Robinson-style lingerie, we totally feel he could have designed the skirts to be taken off, to reveal a skimpier, even sexier teddy or something.
