In a media release from Australia where she is attending the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) she praised Anya's "bold and unique style and her courage and composure under intense pressure and scrutiny during this season of Project Runway.
The Prime Minister said, “Anya is a fine example of the talent of the young people of Trinidad and Tobago. She has much to offer to the Region and the World through her artistic abilities”.
Persad-Bissessar noted that although on many occasions Anya seemed to be the underdog in the highly competitive series, she remained a favourite with the fans.

“I understand that Anya has been declared the ‘fan favourite designer’ based on votes cast on social media site, Twitter – a testimony to vivacious personality and her determination to succeed despite several setbacks”, she added.
She said Anya victory this year assumes a greater significance as 2011 is the 100th Anniversary of International Women’s Day and also the year in which the Commonwealth’s theme is “Women as Agents of Change”.
She said she hopes the young people of Trinidad and Tobago use Anya’s international success as their motivation to keep pursuing their dreams and to never let anything or anyone distract them for their goals.
