Jack Mackenroth and Emily Brandle in Las Vegas

Dear BPR,

I had the pleasure of meeting Emily Brandle from season 5 at the POOL apparel trade show in Las Vegas this past week. She was showing her line Smoke and Mirrors which was really cute. I was working at my friend's booth called REX tees. Emily was SUPER nice and adorable. We dished about Project Runway for a while and the mayhem that follows. She is a friend of Kit and Sweet P so I knew I would really like her.

OXOX

BPR Love for Emily Brandle

This week the results were a surprise and our readers are likely to not agree with the judges. Like the winner, you took a risk - you selected electric colors and created exuberant ruffles across the front to simulate the look of neon blurred in your photograph. It seems that your biggest sin was the placement of the fabric embellishments on your little black dress. No one can say that you played it safe and your dress was playful, saucy and vibrant clearly showing your aesthetic. You exited having shown strong pieces and left us wanting to see more, knowing that as an established designer, we will see it.

This post is only for positive words for Emily Brandle or her work. If you have anything negative to say about her or another designer, please click here.
