"Designer Irina Shabayeva is a cut above the Project Runway rest.\r\nThe 27-year-old New York City based designer took home top honors on Thursday&amp;apos;s sixth season finale of Runway, praised for her &amp;quot;cohesive&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;modern&amp;quot; Fashion Week collection.\r\nShabayeva, who beat out finalists Althea Harper and Carol Hannah Whitfield, both 24, for this season&amp;apos;s title, was initially criticized for sending a collection of black and gray-colored items down the runway.\r\n\r\nAt the conclusion of her 13-look runway show, however, Heidi Klum and fellow judges Michael Kors and Nina Garcia changed their minds. &amp;quot;Your line was sleek, modern and cohesive and it told a story,&amp;quot; Klum told Shabayeva.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I can&amp;apos;t believe it!&amp;quot; the designer exclaimed after Klum announced her as the winner. &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m definitely proud of myself,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;I think this deserves a pat on the back, because I did have some stiff competition.&amp;quot;\r\nCheck out photos of stars who could use a fashion makeover.\r\nFor her efforts, Shabayeva earns a fashion spread in Marie Claire magazine, a trip to Paris and $100,000 to fund her own line."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
