Sebelia, 36, was rewarded for his achievement, and rightfully so - with a $100,000 prize from Tresemme and a spread in Elle magazine. (Besides, if he'd been able to do that consistently, he wouldn't be on 'Project Runway,' he'd be working for Gucci Group.) His spiraling zippers were dazzling, and they made his point.

Its goal was to spark desire in a customer for something she never dreamed she wanted. It was not aimed at filling a niche in the marketplace or some hole in a woman's wardrobe. It did not ape the sensibility of a more established brand. It had a distinctive point of view that set it apart from the other contestants' collections. The Los Angeles-based designer won because the collection he showed in Bryant Park during New York's fashion week in September was creative, surprising and unique. Jeffrey Sebelia - with the prison-yard neck tattoos and an attitude so nasty that he actually made somebody's mama cry - was crowned champion of Season 3. During its Wednesday night finale, 'Project Runway' proved to be a reality show with fashion integrity.
