Project Runway

I absolutely adore Project Runway. I have been a follower since season 1, and if I could sew, I definitely would try out for it! I am even more excited for the next season of Project Runway because I know several designers who I have been able to work with closely here in Denver that are trying out! It is time Denver is put on the fashion map. Trust me, we are so much more than Crocs and REI sweaters! 


But back to last night's season finale. As you know, the top three designers show their collections on the finale and the winner is chosen. What you might not know is that depending on where in the season the show is as it coincides with Fashion Week, all of the designers that are still in the competition show a collection so that the final three are not leaked. This season started later on TV, so when Fashion Week occurred, there were 11 contestants still on the show, so 10 designers showed collections (since Maya quit). I thought I would share my favorite pieces from the Project Runway designers:

Seth Aaron

I love Seth Aaron's tailoring skills. Every jacket he has made on the show I want to own. His final collection did not disappoint. I loved his use of patterns and colors. I always picture someone like Gwen Stefani or even Lady Gaga wearing his clothes around town. 

Emilio Sosa

Emilio's collection reminded me of something you could walk into Macy's and buy right away. It was very wearable, and it definitely had some pieces I would purchase. I also loved the way he used color, especially has lining in the jackets. 

Mila Hermanovski

I will admit I was not a huge Mila fan, and really wanted Jay to be in the final three. However, I found myself loving her final collection. I loved how she played with different shapes, silhouettes and textures. And I really want the black trench coat. 


The other collections you did not see on TV:

Anthony Williams

Jay Nicolas Sario

Amy Sarabi

Jesse LeNoir

Ben Chmura

Jonathan Peters

Janeane Marie Ceccanti

It was a great season, and I think this was one of the strongest top 3 collections of all seasons. I will miss you Project Runway, and cannot wait until the next one. Here's to hoping that someone from Denver is finally chosen!
