Leanne, 27-year-old Californian, has closed the show at the Bryant park tents this morning, as part of the Project Runway finale at the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week New York.

Without trying to spoil the show's season finale, I have to say Leanne is a very strong candidate to win the last challenge. The level of craftsmanship she delivered throughout the season and the last creative effort she showed at the Bryant Park, was close to perfect. Consistency, innovation, very unique vision combined in a very wearable statement pieces - she has all the qualities we are looking for in a young up-and-coming designer.

Every single look received a round of applause from the amused audience - something not every designer gets to experience at the fashion week.

We'll have to wait till the finale with a special guest judge Jennifer Lopez, who couldn't make it this morning to Bryant Park, but hopefully will make an appearance in the studio.
