Malan Breton Fall 2012 BPR Field Report

Project Runway Season 3 designer, Malan Breton, presented his Fall 2012 Collection on Feb . 14th. BPR Field reporter, Jennifer Mara sends us this report. Thanks Jen!

All photos: WireImage for Style360

Those who attended the Fall 2012 Malan Breton Presentation in Chelsea this past week enjoyed a great show. This is what Fashion Week is all about.


Malan showed a variety of menswear looks, each complemented by architecturally awesome accessories and bursts of color!


Three evening gowns appeared in the collection, each more intriguing than the next perfectly spaced at the beginning, middle and end of the show.


The black mini with the sheer bottom definitely made some jaws drop. Malan is not afraid of color- that’s for sure. His detailing and fabric choices let each look live vibrantly. Eye catching and beautiful each with their own personality, with cohesion throughout and the shoes…AMAZING!

Futuristic line-designed high-tops and men's dress shoes with a reverse cut stencil heel backing - Malan was wearing them too!!! Boy, did he look snazzy in a pale pink suit.

-Jennifer Mara

Wesley Nault Fall 2012 "Queen of Martyrs" Field Report

Project Runway Season 5 designer, Wesley Nault, presented his "Queen of Martyrs" collection on Feb. 16th. BPR Field Reporter Jennifer Mara sends us this report. Thanks Jen!

Wesley and his favorite look from the collection.

Wesley Nault prefers these presentations instead of Runway shows and the format really complements his work. As the models pose, new details reveal themselves as the viewer is able to take a closer look. Wesley sticks to a simple color palette playing with pale pinks, beige and black.

Wesley isn’t afraid to really show his work- his tailoring and craftsmanship are high above the bar. He took everything to next level for this show. Great Job Mr. Nault. Can’t wait for the next one!

Jennifer Diederich Fall 2012 Field Report

Project Runway Season 5 designer, Jennifer Diederich presented her Fall 2012 collection on February 12th and BPR field reporter, Jes Switaj sends us this report - thanks Jes!



On Sunday evening I attended the presentation of Suite - Fall 2012 collection by Jennifer Diederich. It was held in an intimate studio location in Soho. Cocktails were mixed during the event by Brooklyn Sodaworks, who conjured up delicious mimosa spin-offs with their grapefruit & basil soda + champagne. Fellow S5 contestant Wesley Nault was also in attendance.



The Suite collection was chic, tailored and charmingly feminine. Jen describes it as “inspired by a girl who feels as graceful as Audrey Hepburn on the inside and yet is clumsy and a little bit of a mess on the outside.” The collection was styled with a touch of Clark Kent (day looks) vs. Superman (night) in mind, and indeed each model definitely gave an air of chic, if not secretive, empowerment.



The girls were whimsically poised atop a colorful mini cityscape with flyaway hair and no-nonsense heels. The main colors of the collection were navy, vanilla, royal blue and light grey, with touches of metallic. Pieces included a delicately crafted chiffon blouse and dress in an adorable handwriting print, a gorgeous blue party dress in lush silk wool, a super cute wool coat with fabric paper airplanes flying from the pockets and a winsome sheath dress made in a subtly metallic cloud patterned brocade.

Overall the collection was finely tailored and delightfully girlish with a healthy dose of vintage charm. Congratulations Jen!

Also, don’t forget to pick up your own original, handmade Suite design at Suite.

Leanne Marshall Fall 2012 - Field Report

Project Runway Season 5 Champion, Leanne Marshall presented her Fall 2012 Collection on February 12th. BPR Field Reporter Jennifer Mara sends us this report - thanks Jen!



New York Fashion Week welcomed Leanne Marshall's 2012 fall collection this afternoon at The Fashion Gallery in Chelsea.


Leanne's "fresh" dress collection was filled with saturated royal blues, greens, and whites, SO saturated that blue dye was left all over her hands!


It was well worth it because according to Leanne, "the very last blue look is my favorite."

When asked if she was thinking about her next collection she rapidly replied; "I've already started working on bridal!"

Leanne also made sure to include a special shout-out to her BPR fans- "Hi Guys! I love you, thank you for all of the support and for all of your nice and touching letters, they keep me motivated and keep me striving."


Suede and Korto Momolu show support for Leanne!
