Project Runway Season 8 at Fashion Week (spoilers and collections)

Every year, Project Runway breaks the hearts of reality show purists and allows more than just the top three designers to show at New York Fashion Week. The big shows happen only twice a year, and sometimes the event falls in the middle of the Runway season. Since we can't trust anyone, the people in charge over at Runway made the decision that every designer left on the show before Fashion Week would show a collection. Unfair? Maybe. But I will still scour the interwebs for all the collection pics and bring them to you. So from this showing, have your opinions changed? I think mine have… I am impressed by a few people I didn't really expect. Also, ummmm, is Gretchen wearing an April design??

Leave your thoughts in the comments and check out one photo from each collection after the jump!
