Videos - Meet the Season 5 Models!

Project Runway Season 3 model extraordinaire Amanda Fields didn't feel that we got an opportunity to get to know the Season 5 models. (Click here for her report.) Since one of the models will leave the Runway on Wednesday and it seems that we will see even more of these ladies in that challenge (spoiler alert if you click on this link), it is appropriate that we take a little time to get to know them. Click on each picture to watch a brief introduction video.

Do any of you happen to have their MySpace information so that we can add their links to the sidebar? Contact Team BPR with the address!

Nancy T Reports From Malan Breton's Model Casting!

Man, I love BPR! When I emailed them saying that I’d like to cover Malan Breton’s upcoming fashion show, they also mentioned that Malan was inviting reporters to cover his model casting. So, on Labor Day, Malan’s Garment District office was besieged by scores of beautiful women – and me!

Malan recently moved into the office, and was in the process of making it his own. The fluorescent lights and barebones industrial furniture had not yet been replaced, but a gray dressform and offbeat accoutrements hinted at the style that will soon pervade the smallish space. Malan and Tion Kane (his public relations executive) sat at a large table at one end of the room, and invited me to sit with them during the casting. No way was I going to refuse!
