BPR Interview with Gunnar Deatherage
Project Runway All-Star designer, Gunnar Deatherage talks about his experience on the show.
A highlight:
BPR: You have been a lot of fun to watch this season. What did you do to prepare for the show?
GD: I went shopping, and that was about it. I haven't sewn in about two years. I took a full-time job as the creative director and fashion editor of a magazine in Louisville. It's more about styling. Honestly on the show, I just tried to be myself.
BPR: Please tell us more about the magazine.
GD: It's an Arts & Philanthropy magazine called NFocus Louisville, so, every month I do covers and fashion spreads. It allows me to do creative shoots all the time. As much as I love designing, I really love styling. I create the sets, choose the models, the hair, the accessories. I love it.
BPR: Who is your best friend from the cast?
GD: Definitely Michelle. I actually think I am going to shoot her lookbook later this month.

BPR Interview with Benjamin Mach
Project Runway All-Star designer, Benjamin Mach, talks about his experience on the show.
A highlight:
BPR: When did you live in London and what did you do there?
BM: I lived in London for about 10 years, I was about 24 or 25 when I moved there. I had a wonderful time. I actually worked at some of the fabric stores in Soho that we visited. I also worked for Marchesa when they were in their start-up phase and I worked for a luxury menswear line. This was some of the best experience that I had in the industry. We showed in Paris twice a year. I also went on tour with Cliff Richard, who is like the Elvis Presley of the UK. I did all of the costumes for one of his tours. I had a great time.
BPR: So, you knew Georgina Chapman?
BM: I met Georgina and her business partner, Karen, in London, in one of the fabric stores where I worked. I was kind of mesmerized by them and we began to talk. I let them know that I was available to help and that's how it all began.
BPR: Who is your best friend from the cast?
BM: It is interesting. Going in I felt closest to those from my own season, but I actually became very close with Helen Castillo. I am having coffee with her later today.

Happy Anniversary Project Runway!
Our favorite show premiered ten years ago today!
I was eagerly waiting for the first episode and loved it from the very start, but I didn't know anyone else who watched.
An online search revealed no website devoted exclusively to Project Runway. There were reality-television sites and fashion sites that included recaps - not always kind recaps - but nothing for devoted fans of the show. The Bravo network website was barely functioning. It's hard to imagine now, but the internet was much smaller.
I had a personal blog and I knew just enough to get started so I decided I would try to reach some other fans of the show.
Tbone (Patrick) and The Scarlett (Sue Ellen) joined me very quickly and we have been a team ever since. We consider BPR to be a clearinghouse for information about the show and the designers. We also consider BPR to be a community of fans. Thank you for joining us!

Meet Diane von Furstenberg in South Florida Dec. 2
I just finished reading, "The Woman I Wanted to Be' and found it very frank and inspiring.
I am also enjoying the "House of DVF" reality show.
In this new interview with SouthFlorida.com, Diane states, Project Runway is the "best... because of Tim Gunn."
And this is different from say, your work on "Project Runway" and "Project Runway All Stars."
Of all the shows, "Project Runway" was the best one, because it really was informative.
Why?
Because of Tim Gunn. Tim Gunn is a real teacher. It wasn't exploitative.

BPR Interview with Kate Pankoke
A highlight:
BPR: Which was your favorite challenge?
KP: Definitely the Wicked challenge. I had never seen Wicked and Helen and I were like holding hands and crying the whole time.
BPR: You got to see the show? I don't think we knew that.
KP: Yes, we all went to see the show. We worked all day and then we went to the show that night. Afterward, we went backstage and we were able to see the costumes close up. I even got to touch the tiara. I was dying.

BPR Interview with Chris March
Joey Arias as Joan Crawford and Chris March as Christina Crawford in "Christmas with the Crawfords." |
A highlight:
BPR: Is there anything that happened in the challenge that you wish we could have seen?
CM: Well, yes definitely. One of the things that they cut out of the episode was that part of the challenge was that whichever word you had, "good" or "wicked," you had to incorporate 20% of the other side into their design. So, my "Wicked" design had to have 20% "Good."
BPR: What?!?!?
CM: Yes, if you look at each of the looks, you will see a little something opposite. I did not choose to use the pink tulle because I thought it would reinforce the "Wicked-ness" of my design. I was just trying to follow the constraints of the challenge.
It was evident that after the decisions were made about the winning and losing designs, the editing completely removed this requirement. At least I feel good that Betsey Johnson really defended my look on the runway.
BPR: Actually that makes total sense - I was wondering why Helen put those branches on the shoulders and why so many of the "Good" designs were styled as if they were "Evil." I wish the viewers could have known this!

BPR Interview with Alexandria von Bromssen
Camp Couture dolls representing Alexandria and Patricia. |
Project Runway Season 4 All-Star, Alexandria von Bromssen, talks about her experience on the show.
A highlight:
BPR: If you could go back, would you do anything differently?
AB: Yes, I would have agreed to do the show a little sooner. The producers called many times to ask me to do the show. Even when I was in Paris, they called me every day. I was visiting one of my students in Paris - she is on a three-year scholarship studying fashion in Paris. She asked me if I would wear her scarf on the show and honestly that was the tipping point. I finally agreed to do the show, and you can see her scarf in the opening montage.
I wanted to design with fabrics, not with plastic and metal and these unconventional materials. This just wasn't for me.
BPR: Who is your best friend from the cast?
AB: I tried to befriend everyone, but definitely Gunnar is the one I loved the most from the cast.
BPR: After your elimination, as you waited out the remainder of the filming, how did you spend your time?
AB: I sewed. I walked home after my elimination and immediately began work on my collection. I set up a full studio in my apartment. I created a men's collection, a women's collection and an accessory collection. I made handbags, I made it all.

The Nashville-based designers collaborated to design pieces for Valentineʼs Spring 2015 collection.

The limited edition collection is now available for purchase through both of the designerʼs websites and in the Margaret Ellis Studio at Cummins Station.

BPR Interview with All-Star Designer, Patricia Michaels
Project Runway All-Star designer, Patricia Michaels, talks about her experience on the show.
A highlight:
BPR: After you were eliminated and you were sequestered, what were you able to do? Could you sew? Shop? Work on jewelry?
PM: Absolutely! It was wonderful! It was a sabbatical from heaven! I went shopping for fabrics, and thrift shopping, I went to museums. I went to the garment district to look at production facilities. I could sew and work on jewelry and even check my email. The Gotham West is lovely, there was a gym where we could work out. I read and I wrote - I am working on two novels.
There was a very important email that came in from the Smithsonian! They were inviting me to receive an award. It is the 20th anniversary of their National Museum of the American Indian. They are presenting me with their Arts and Design Award at their 20th Anniversary Gala event.
So at that moment, when I saw the email, I realized that this is my journey. I have to trust my gut and honor those feelings. There are better things for me ahead and this part of my journey is over.
I am becoming a modern visionary for my culture, a representative of the traditional Native American artist. I could not have come this far if I did not trust my feelings.
