After several weeks of stunning designs with little attention, Oakland designer Amy Sarabi finally wins a challenge on Project Runway. The challenge was to create a signature dress for the Campbell's AdDRESS Your Heart campaign. Amy won this challenge with a flowing, strapless, chiffon gown. The design was ethereal and elegant. It looked beautiful on the "model" and showed Amy's skills as a designer. Many designers found it difficult to design for a "real" woman versus a model.
 

For the past two weeks, Amy has been the fan-favorite online. Her designs have garnered the highest number of stars this season on Lifetime's Rate the Runway, where you can vote and comment on the designer's work. Her influence on Jesus' design in the partner challenge last week was apparent, keeping Jesus out the bottom two for the first, and last, time.


As the winner of this challenge, Amy will be attending the Red Dress Awards with her model, who will be wearing her design. Her dress will also be put into limited production and sold on projectrunway.com. Proceeds from sales of the dress will benefit the American Heart Association. View the video to hear Amy talk about this challenge and see her winning design on the runway.
