BPR Field Reporter Jessica Switaj is back with Project Runway Season Six designer, Qristyl Frazier. Thanks Jes!
BPR - What was the best part of being on the show?
QF - Just making it! That’s a really big opportunity. Actually being chosen from so many thousands of people who tried out is just a dream come true. It validates you as a designer and is a chance for the world to see what you can do.
BPR - Do you feel that you made / will remain friends with the majority of the designers you competed with?
QF - This was a really close-knit cast. Everyone was really cool. A lot of people connected. Some of them even live together now.
BPR - Describe your personal style.
QF - I do “plus sexy” sizes. What that means is that you own up to the curves that you have. I want women to be comfortable in the skin they’re in. My personal style is designing fashionable clothes for girls size 12 and up. Other designers are afraid to play with different silhouettes and body types. I want my clients to know there is a designer who hasn’t forgotten about them.
BPR - What message would you like to relay to the viewers, in anticipation of the premiere?
QF - This group of designers are beyond talented! Not matter what, we all went for it. I hope everyone can embrace each and every one of us. I’m grateful for all of the comments, positive and negative. Also, so what if you’re not a size 2!
