BPR Interview with Laura Kathleen Planck

Project Runway All-Star designer, Laura Kathleen Planck talks about her experience on the show.

A highlight:

BPR: Have you been watching this season? 

LKP: Honestly I have not been able to watch the show live, because we seem to be busy on Thursday nights. We record and watch it the next day. It has been a lot of fun to watch with my fiancé. I was not with him during season nine so this is much better. 

 BPR: I was going to ask about your engagement! Have you set a date? 

 LKP: Yes, April 6th. 

 BPR: Are you designing your own gown? 

 LKP: It is actually my grandmother's wedding gown from the 40's. It is being reworked by my sample room. I am designing the bridesmaid's gowns though. 

 BPR: What is your color scheme? 

 LKP: We are getting married at "The Fabulous Fox Theater" in St. Louis. It's a mixture of Byzantine and Persian architecture. If you can imagine every crazy jewel tone and gold and stained glass thrown together, that's what it's like. There is so much going on at the venue, that the wedding is pretty neutral. My bridesmaids are wearing white and my gown is candlelight.

Zac Posen Replaces Michael Kors for Season 11

"Good bye!"

Tim Gunn, Heidi Klum and Nina Garcia are all returning for Season 11 of Project Runway, but Michael Kors's chair will be occupied by Zac Posen.  

Kors returns to judge the season 11 finale.

Also, this season will be "the first-ever TEAMS EDITION."  

The press release: 

Project Runway’s Season 11 returns with a twist that throws 16 eager designers into a panic when they discover they will be participating in the series’ first-ever TEAMS EDITION, premiering Thursday, January 24, at 9pm ET/PT. This season, the controversial “team challenges” are taken to a whole new level when the designers must work together for every challenge while ensuring their own garments stand out on the runway to host and judge Heidi Klum, Marie Claire’s Fashion Director Nina Garcia and featured judge, award-winning fashion designer Zac Posen. 

The game-changing new element will push designers to work collaboratively but who will be a team player and who will throw their teammates under the bus? Tim Gunn, will, once again, serve as the mentor to the designers, as they sew their way to New York Fashion Week at Lincoln Centerwhere Michael Kors will serve as the finale guest judge. 

Guest judges include Bette Midler, Susan Sarandon, Miranda Lambert, John Legend, Joan and Melissa Rivers, Emmy Rossum, Kristin Davis, Jordana Brewster and designers Rachel Roy, Tracy Reese, Chris Benz and Christian Siriano.

BPR Interview with Casanova

Project Runway All-Star Designer, Casanova, talks about his experience on the show.

A highlight:

BPR: Did you know Emilio before appearing on All-Stars? 

 C: I had heard of him because during his season, so many people in every corner of Puerto Rico, people were telling me "Oh my gosh, Casanova, do you know Emilio, he is Dominican on Project Runway." Everyone in Puerto Rico loved Emilio and a Dominican is like a brother to a Puerto Rican. So I watched him on Youtube.

 I was very happy to meet him. We were very close. He was my roommate. We spoke the whole night in Spanish. He took care of me when I was sick. I was close to the designers in my season, but it was not the same as being able to speak with Emilio in my own language. 

 BPR: Are you still working with Ivy? 

 C: No. Before All Stars we were working on her collection and we finished. If she needs help for her next collection I hope she will call me.

Conference Call With Georgina Chapman

All Stars Judge, Georgina Chapman talks about Project Runway, her upcoming Lifetime Special, Project Runway Spotlight: Marchesa, and motherhood!

Highlights:

Which designer of this season of All Stars do you think would make a great children’s clothing designer? 

 G. Chapman: Maybe Uli because she has that sense of whimsy that I think would be great. I’m thinking girls because I have a girl. So I think she would make really cute little baby clothes. 

The differences between Season 1 and Season 2 of All Stars?

G. Chapman: I think the first season it was new for all of us and this time around we’ve done it before. What amazed me is that it still felt completely fresh, completely new and just every time because there are new people. There are new personalities. There is really not like, “Oh, we’re going to do the same thing again.” It just isn’t. Each week is different. I think when you’re dealing with creatives you’re always in for surprise, and I think that’s why this show is so much fun for Isaac, myself and Carolyn to do. We really look forward to coming and judging the shows. As I said before, we do get a bond with these designers. I couldn’t really saw which season I preferred or didn’t. They were all just different in their own way.

BPR Interview with Althea Harper

Project Runway All-Star designer, Althea Harper talks about her experience on the show.

A highlight:

BPR:  Some of the designers really struggled, and your design seemed to be just what you wanted.  If you could go back, would you change anything?

AH:  No.  Not really.  The flaps that hung down at the sides were actually very different when we left the workroom.  During transport to the runway, the flaps somehow came undone.  That was not how they were supposed to be.  I was a little disappointed because there were other occasions when designers were allowed to repair garments, but I approached the producers and asked if I could and I was turned down.

I did not feel that was fair.  But ultimately at the end of the day, I could see the writing on the wall.  The judges had certain favorites.  Even if I had survived this challenge, I might have lasted only another week or two.

I did not feel that way during season 6.  I didn't feel that I had to bring a certain "character" or "drama" to the set, but for All-Stars it was evident that the producers and judges were looking for characters.  

I am not a character.  I am a designer!  

I am not going to act a certain way just to bring more drama to the screen.
