The competition on Project Runway<\/em> Season 21 reached a fever pitch in last week’s dramatic penultimate episode, capped by a shocking walkout that had viewers glued to their screens. Just moments before the eliminations, designer Antonio Estrada<\/strong> stormed off the set, creating a major crisis for the production team. It took a persuasive producer to convince the designer to return to the workroom in time for the final judging.<\/p>\n The episode was the final hurdle before the grand finale, with Belania<\/strong> and Antonio<\/strong> eliminated, leaving Jesus<\/strong>, Ethan<\/strong> and Veejay<\/strong> as the final three designers. The last challenge? Create a cohesive collection of five looks each. To assist them in this monumental effort, three previously eliminated fan-favorite designers\u2014Joan<\/strong>, Antonio<\/strong> (whose drama was clearly resolved in time to assist), and Yuchen<\/strong>\u2014returned to lend a helping hand.<\/p>\n Michael Kors<\/strong> returned as a judging panel, joining Nina Garcia<\/strong>, host Heidi Klum<\/a><\/strong> and image architect Law Roach<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfac<\/strong> SIGN UP for Parade\u2019s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox<\/strong><\/a> \ud83c\udfac\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Get the full recap, including all the spoilers, and find out who won Project Runway<\/em> Season 21.<\/p>\n The judges were wowed by how Veejay grew over the competition, and were impressed that her final collection of metallics and knits surprised them.<\/p>\n Antonio and Belania were eliminated at the beginning of episode 10, leaving the final 3 designers, Jesus, Veejay and Ethan to compete in the finale. Later in the episode, Ethan and Jesus were eliminated, leaving Veejay as the overall winner of the competition.<\/p>\n For the last challenge, the designers were tasked with creating a collection of five looks in five days.<\/p>\n The collections presented to the judges were as varied as the designers themselves, each packed with a personal meaning:<\/p>\n Ethan<\/strong>, the designer known for his avant-garde flair, announced his theme simply as “rich.” His collection exuded a lavish, high-end aesthetic, with a luxurious, rock-star presentation on the final runway.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Jesus<\/strong>, meanwhile, delivered one of the most emotional moments of the season. In a tearful tribute, he revealed he chose the color pink<\/strong> for his entire collection, explaining that it was both his mother\u2019s favorite color and also what his brother, Antonio, would have wanted for his own collection.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Veejay<\/strong> looked outside the fashion world for inspiration. Her theme was inspired by the striking mercury figure from <\/strong>Terminator<\/em><\/strong>, delivering a collection that was fluid, and futuristic, a departure from her previous looks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Related:<\/strong> Everything to Know About Project Runway<\/em> Season 21<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n The judges were wowed by Ethan\u2019s look, with Banks telling the designer, \u201cI was just blown away.
