Leanne Marshall’s Spring ’12 Collection | September 11, 2011

Leanne Marshall’s Spring ’12 Collection

I’ve always been a huge fan of Leanne Marshall from Project Runway (Season 5), so there was no doubt in my mind that I was going to see a handful of elegant garments today. A fellow Brooklynite (shout out to Williamsburg!) continues to present her talent through breathtaking collections. Ever since her big-win in Project Runway, she quickly went back to making dresses to sell! It’s always good to see these up-and-coming designers work hard to pursue their dreams.

It is evident that Leanne’s feminine touch behind her Spring ’12 collection reflects her prior experience in designing costumes for ballet performances. The … Read More »

Project Runway’s Jason Troisi Runway Show

Despite Jason Troisi’s dismissal in Project Runway Season 8, he ‘made it work’ off of Lifetime Television’s reality competition. His hard work paid off last night at the Exit Art venue, where he beautifully presented his collection for New York Fashion Week. He noted, “I have spent every single day sewing; Not just for a few hours, but the entire day, the entire night, every waking minute I could find, was spent sewing.”

For his debut fashion show, he created his collection with different types of fabric ranging from wool, tulle, leather to rubber. … Read More »

Interview with Michael Costello of Project Runway

Recently Lifetime’s Project Runway Season 8 contestant Michael Costello of Palm Springs was told that he wasn’t going to Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2011 on Part One of the season finale.  We’ve learned since his emotional meltdown on-air that Michael has certainly kept himself very busy these last few months.

What was the best part about being on Project Runway?  

The food!  Honestly I would have to say the whole thing, it was just so real.

What is one thing you learned that you did not know prior to being on the show?

The production of the show are things that you don’t … Read More »
