He’s not the only finalist with Utah ties. If Kee is the favorite, then his next top competitor may be Ayana Ife, a Salt Lake City woman who defied expectations with her modest designs inspired by her Islamic faith.
Kee just might get the last laugh. As Season 16 of “Project Runway” heads toward a conclusion, he has won more challenges (three) than any other contestant; he’s been among those getting the highest scores more times (eight) than any other contestant; he’s never been in danger of elimination; and he’s gotten arguably the most praise from the judges.
