Uncle Nick teaches zipper sewing 101...

Democracy Diva says Tim has been pulled over to the Dark Side...
Mila sees an extreme peplum disaster...
Shannon doesn't think the zipper made a difference in the auf...

BPR Interview with Alexander Knox



Project Runway Season 13 designer, Alexander Knox, talks about his experience on the show.

A highlight:


BPR: Also, do you wish you had objected to giving Char the extra time? 

AK: Knowing the outcome - yes. But to be honest I recall hearing her model say that she had a 13-year-old daughter and she was a pre-school teacher and I just couldn't imagine sending her down the runway like that. 

 BPR: Did Tim offer to let everyone have an additional ten minutes? Was that even presented as an option? 

AK: No this was not an option. At all. We all went to wait in the designer lounge while Char sewed her zipper.

BPR Interview with Sandhya Garg



Project Runway Season 13 designer, Sandhya Garg talks about her experience on the show.

A highlight:
 
BPR:  As a viewer, it was hard to hear the designers talk about you behind your back, but it must have been ten times harder for you.  

SG:  Yes, it was hard, but it's fine.  I've been in design school and I am used to people talking behind my back and critiquing my work.   I understand.  It is fine.  It is a very intense experience.  Anyone who has ever been on the show will probably understand.

BPR Interview with fäde zu grau


Project Runway Season 13 designer, fäde zu grau, talks about his experience on the show.

A highlight:

BPR:  It seemed that you were struggling emotionally during the episode, do you think that affected your design? 

FZG: Yes. Definitely. I was doubting myself too much. Now in hindsight, watching the episode I wonder why. 

BPR: If you could go back, is there anything that you would do differently? 

FZG: I would have pushed harder the first day, and not wasted so much time. I would have used both days.

BPR:  After you saw the collections, did you wish that you had another save?

TG:  No.
