One Project Runway contestant has made it work—and they don't even know it yet.

The contestants on Heidi Klum's hit reality series filmed their finale today during Fashion Week at the Lincoln Center tents, and the supermodel tells us she knew the winner (in her mind, anyway) the minute she saw the collection coming down the runway.

So did she give us any hints?

"I do have a favorite," she told us following the show today. "But I can't tell you who. But I definitely have one outstanding winner. I just have to see if the others feel the same way."

As far as good omens go, we spotted Klum, dressed in a barely there sequined black romper, mouthing to Kors during the shows that she would wear a few of the designs coming down the runway—but she said that doesn't necessary give any clues about her favorite designers.

"It's not always about if I would wear it, but for me there is a clear winner there," Klum said. "You can never really compare them [the different seasons]—they're all different people with different points of view. I think you saw some great fashion today, but for me there's one clear winner there."

Meanwhile, designer and Runway judge Michael Kors certainly wasn't giving any hints, gushing that he loved all the looks, which he described as ranging from "tough and hard-edged to romantic and soft."

And though the former Victoria's Secret model looked phenomenal as always, Heidi told us she only got a few hours of shut-eye last night.

"It's Fashion Week, you just go go go," she said.

And speaking of fashion, who knew Klum was a fan of the Kardashian Kollection for Sears?! 

"I think just because you have one career, doesn't mean you can't do other things," she told E! News. "A lot of people in the entertainment industry can also be great designers and have other things that they're very good at."

If anyone's proof of that, it's Klum!
