BPR Interview with Peach Carr

Project Runway Season 2 All-Star designer, Peach Carr, talks about her experience on the show.

A highlight:

BPR: What made last night's challenge difficult? 

 PC: These are explanations and not excuses, but what happened was that first, we spent 25 of our 30 minutes trying to decide on our word. Then, when I presented my sketch my team said, "no we aren't using stretch, we are not doing sportswear, no 60's-70's, this isn't our girl..." So I started to feel like a fish out of water. 

 BPR: If you could go back, would you do something differently? 

 PC: One season a designer is raked over the coals for doing his own thing and not being a team player. The next season, someone is eliminated for going along with the team and not standing up for their aesthetic. 

 It's hard to say what I would do differently. Everyone expressed their opinions so strongly and I just went along and changed my design. There were six people on the team and five of them were saying one thing. I felt that I had to go along. 

 On the runway, I said to Isaac, "You would have fired me if I had spent the last five minutes of our design time arguing my point." 

 At this point it is just a guessing game about what I could have done differently - you never know what the judges will say.

Peach Carr Ranks NFL Helmets!

Project Runway Season 8 designer, Peach Carr weighs in on "Which NFL team has the best helmet?"

1. Chicago: I am biased ... was born and raised in Chicago. Proof that orange really is the "new pink."

2. San Francisco: The touch of red pairs perfectly with some Louboutin pumps.

3. St. Louis: Polka dots ... a huge hit this fall.

4. Tampa Bay: Skulls + heavy metal = Punk Couture ... a fashion "do."

5. Washington: Feathers ... still a hot trend!

6. Houston: Patriotism is "IN."

7. Minnesota: Will look hip with white bell-bottom jeans.

8. New York Jets: "Going Green" is always fashionable.

9. Philadelphia: This wing design would be slimming on everyone!

10. Indianapolis: Accessorizing with a classic shoe is always chic.

More Mondo In Denver

BPR field reporter Sarah sends more from Mondo's charity auction:

It was a great evening of laughter and tears. Michael C did some amazing impressions of Michael Kors and Nina Garcia. He also expressed how important it was to be with Mondo for this night, and let the crowd know that if we thought there was a waterworks on the show, "you should have seen it when we got back to the apartment!" Clearly, Mondo has moved so many of the contestants. A great deal of the designers who were still on and who were already auf'd has items to donate. To name just a few: Michael C., Peach and Ivy donated dresses, and Jason donated the bowler hat he wore on the show. Everything sold.

One of the most touching things Mondo said right after the show, was that he felt part of reason HIV is such an epidemic is that people are afraid to talk about it. He also said that we need to push forward, not go backward. He thanked everyone for being there, and said that he could really feel the love in the room.

Click here for a new interview with Tim Gunn from Movieline.

A highlight: Can you single out your proudest moment on Project Runway?
You know something, and I am welling up with tears, sorry — the proudest moment is coming up this season. You’ll know what it is. It’s a big one. I don’t know whether it’s two episodes from now — sorry for this reaction! Just asking that question stirred me up. Yes, it’s coming. That’s all I can tell about that so far. Someone reveals something very personal that’s a beautiful moment. And it happens on the runway.

BPR Interview with Peach Carr

Project Runway Season 8 designer, Peach Carr talks about her experience on the show.

A couple of highlights: Regarding last night's episode - Peach was surprised that Michael C won the challenge and thought that Mondo had the best design.

Peach did not overhear Michael C telling the voters at the showcase not to vote for Ivy...

And of course I could not resist asking her if Gretchen and Ivy were being "unfairly portrayed" as the "mean girls...."

Thank you Peach!
