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.
