Project Runway Season 11 Champion, Michelle Lesniak talks to us about her "Pin Me /Pierce Me" collection presented at FashioNXT on October 9th.

BPR: How many times have you participated in FashioNXT?

ML: This is my third time, but I was also recognized as an "emerging designer" before I appeared on Project Runway.

BPR: Wow. So they sort of discovered you...?

ML: Yes.

BPR: This is in your backyard, right?

ML: It is. It's fun, and I definitely have my diva moments... "I'm closing out the show!" ...but there is also a lot of pressure. I'm under a microscope. Everyone is expecting something really
big...and beyond....

Project Runway All-Star, Viktor Luna talks to BPR about his latest collection featured at FashioNXT on October 10th. Thank you Viktor!

BPR: How many times have you participated in FashioNXT?

VL: This is my second year!

BPR: What brought you back?

VL: Tito is truly one of the hardest-working persons I know. What keeps us coming back is his professionalism. He believes in every designer he showcases, and brings the highest-quality platform to give maximum exposure to each designer. He is humble and caring and we need more people like him in the fashion industry.

BPR: What was the inspiration for this collection?

VL: Well, I am always inspired by the future... and also history. I think you can see some Egyptian influence, and also plastics, and innovative textiles. It's very difficult to pin down!

BPR: What is your favorite look?

VL: It's hard to choose, but I think one looks sort of sums up the collection. It has the gold and silver, pleating and the model is wearing glasses.

Mondo Guerra at FashioNXT

Project Runway All-Star Champion, Mondo Guerra, presented his Spring/Summer 2016 collection at FashioNXT in Portland on October 10th.

Fashion Correspondent, Tamara Alazri was there and sends us this report:

Since Project Runway, Mondo Guerra has been known for combining unconventional prints and has shied away from simplicity, but has taken a different approach for his FashionXT 2015 runway show, creating a solid white collection with an 80’s vibe.

See-through skirts, bare midriffs, crop-tops and mini jackets were the focus of this collection. It felt very urban cool and the use of colored socks and sandals added flavor to the white color palette.

Our sincere thanks to photographer Jeff Wong and correspondent Tamara Alazri.

Seth Aaron Henderson Featured at FashioNXT

Project Runway All-Star Champion, Seth Aaron Henderson, presented his Spring/Summer 2016 collection at FashioNXT in Portland on October 10.

Fashion Correspondent, Tamara Alazri was there and sends us this report:

Seth Aaron delivered a polished spring/summer 2016 collection, as expected. It felt slightly schoolgirl rebel without a cause as models looked cool in glasses with their hair swept back.

There’s always a cartoonish appeal to Seth’s clothes, perhaps because they’re so well tailored. With a black and white color palette, models rocked leather sleeves, neoprene jumpsuits, pin-stripe skirt suits and shirt collars tied around the neck, which felt like a play on gender-neutral fashion. Seth Aaron hit it out of the ballpark with this collection.
