Dao won. Chloe Dao's final runway was a collection of women's evening wear that stunned judges with billowing sleeves, cardigans, and rich fabrics.
Dao won two challenges overall and placed in the top 3 four times. Like McCarroll before her, she was in the bottom 3 in the challenge before the finale. Unlike McCarroll, however, Dao chose to accept the prize money and the mentorship with Banana Republic. With two successful seasons under its belt, Project Runway decided to spice things up. This season introduced an "all-or-nothing challenge" where eliminated contestants could return to the competition and stay if their design won the challenge.
The judges sent home three designers that challenge, including the two returning designers. This season was also the first season to allow four designers to move on to the final runway.
