Alexandria von Bromssen Presents LoveSick Fashion Show Feb 14 in SF

 "LoveSick" also features Season 13 designer, Emily Payne!

Love goes away, but the sickness lingers. We'll always be Lovesick. 

Valentine's Day draws near, and the burden of expectation weighs heavy on our brows. The "correct" V-day ritual has been ingrained into our minds, accepted as the status quo. In order to "prove" our love, we must follow the checklist: flowers, chocolate, etc. Intimacy, commodified. 

We all recognize this cliche for the lie that it is, but we've also internalized it- and if we don't obey, there are consequences. Nobody wants to be the sitting at home, alone. 

But do not despair. You don't have to accept this fate. Lovesick is back- and we've got the cure. We have inherited the future- and now we get to decide which traditions to keep, or throw away and replace with our own. We don't need Valentine's Day. Let's all get Lovesick instead.

Join us at 7 pm in the Empire Room in San Francisco for a celebration of Love & Fashion. A Trunk Show and Kissing/Photo Booth will take place at the top of the evening, followed by the Runway Fashion Show main event. Designers Alexandria Von Bromssen, Emily Payne, Miranda Caroligne, and more will be showcasing new collections. Music by ROOZ, ALESSANDRO, Meikee Magnetic with ChrisCheezy, and Irene Hernandez-Feiks. The Empire Room will be serving handmade crafted cocktails from their Mixology bar all night.

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.

A New Interview with Alexandria von Bromssen


The San Mateo Daily Journal posted a new interview with Project Runway Season 12 finalist, Alexandria von Bromssen today.

A highlight:

The experience was crazy and intense for von Bromssen, who participated in 13 challenges and said she averaged four hours of sleep per night during the six weeks of filming of the Lifetime network television show. 

Overall, the show brought her out of her comfort zone though and has helped her designs stand out on a national scale. 

“I have 200 orders in my pocket off of things people saw on the show,” said von Bromssen, 38. “I cried a lot when I saw the show and stopped watching it early on. Now it’s very different since the phones are now ringing.”

BPR Interview with Alexandria von Bromssen



Season 12 finalist, Alexandria von Bromssen talks about her experience on the show.

A highlight:

BPR: Heidi, Nina and Kerry all said that they wanted to wear your clothes, but they did not choose you for the win. I was surprised by that. Were you? 

AvB: To be honest, I considered Justin my competition. When he was dismissed, I thought I had a chance. I still believe that my collection was superior. 

 If I am honest I will say that I am very disappointed. My collection was tight. It fit perfectly. It was innovative. Marketable. All of the models backstage wanted my looks. The producers wanted my looks. Tim told me that Heidi tried on my pieces. 

 BPR: Heidi tried on your looks? We didn't see that. 

AvB: Yes, Tim told me that she loved it.
