"Quirky, valuable and high-quality."

 Those were the words buzzing through Kent State University’s fashion school as Project Runway all-star designer and Kent alumnus Suede debuted his SUEDEsays fabric collection Saturday, Feb. 2. 

The event flashed flirty, edgy and classic variations of Suede’s 24 unique fabrics, and special showtimes were added to accommodate its growing audience. Relaxed, flowing hemlines, sophisticated peplum tops and surprising colored sheers were among the designs that decorated Suede’s technicolor stage, an installation designed by the Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores now
selling his collection.

The line is available in Jo-Ann stores and also at joann.com.

BPR Interview with Suede

Project Runway All Star designer, Suede, talks about his experience on the show.

A highlight:

BPR:  Have you watched all of the previous seasons?

S:  I have to say I did.

BPR:  So you recognized everyone?

S:  There was not a single face that I was not familiar with.

BPR:  Did you watch the episode last night?

S:  I caught it this morning.  I wasn't able to watch last night because we are still having issues from the storm.  

BPR:  Suede, was your home affected by the storm?

S:  I was actually in the city when it hit.  I was supposed to have some business meetings the next day.  Those were obviously postponed.  We lost power here in Chelsea - that was for a few days.  Then I finally escaped to my home in the mountains.   Thankfully there was no damage.  My kitties were a little bit cold, so we snuggled in front of the fireplace until the power returned.   My heart goes out to everyone who has been affected by the storm.
