Grey took home the $250,000 grand prize, plus $50,000 toward his own studio, a mentorship with the Council of Fashion Designers of America, a feature in Elle Magazine and a capsule collection from Nineteenth Amendment.
Fürstenberg, 72, while critiquing Grey's Reminiscence collection inspired by his memories of life in Colombia said all his pieces had a 'ying/yang' quality.
The Belgian fashion designer known for her wrap dress said that Grey's collection was 'very casual, very streetwear, and then extremely refined.'
Karlie during the final runway show noticed some sloppy zipper work by master corsetier Spampinato when he presented his Detour Through My Cosmic Mind collection.
