BPR Interview with Amanda Valentine

Project Runway Season 13 designer, Amanda Valentine, talks about her experience on the show.

A highlight:

BPR: Do you think you had an advantage, as a returning designer? 

AV: I totally do. It would be silly for me to say that there isn't an advantage. The biggest advantage is that I could sort of relax and just focus on my designs. There is so much going on all around us. In the workroom there are four cameras and sound men and all sorts of things that can be very distracting. It's a huge operation. When you are experiencing that for the first time, it can be overwhelming. 

 BPR: What advice would you offer to future contestants? 

AV: I would say that I wanted everything I made to have my signature. I recognize what my strengths and weaknesses are.  I'm not Kini. I'm not Sean. I would say that my thing is my vibe. I So I tried to keep my vibe going through every look. I know my girl. 

BPR: It did not escape us that you were the designer (even in your previous season) who used fringe. 

AV: After I won twice with fringe, I said to myself, "Okay that's enough." I had to mourn the fringe. It was a little difficult because for the past few seasons, I have featured fringe in my collections. I'm mourning the loss but it's time to move on.

BPR Interview with Sean Kelly

Project Runway Season 13 Champion, Sean Kelly talks about his experience on the show and about his plans for the future.

A highlight:

BPR:  Did you watch the previous seasons of Project Runway?

SK:  Yes, going all the way back to season one actually.  I watched in New Zealand it was one of my favorite shows.  It's kind of surreal to find myself a contestant and now a winner!

BPR:  Going in to the finale, did you feel like the favorite?

SK:  No.  I felt that we all presented such different and strong collections that I didn't feel there was any "divide" between the designers.  I did not see that there was any clear winner.

Boston Field Report: Sam Donovan Collection

BPR ace field reporter Tina G. stayed out past her bedtime last week to catch the new collection from Under The Gunn favorite Sam Donovan at the Liberty Hotel in Boston. Nothing but raves from a pretty discerning eye:

Who is she and where is she going?  Tim Gunn might come to mind when you read this phrase, but it’s also a phrase that Sam Donovan, fashion designer and first runner-up on Lifetime’s Project Runway: Under the Gunn, draws from when designing clothing.  He stresses the importance of this phrase, especially for young designers.

Those of us who were lucky enough to attend Sam’s latest show also wanted to know How could we be her?  Sam’s show, a part of The Liberty Hotel Boston’s Fashionably Late series, included pants, tops, dresses and even a jumpsuit. Sam has a knack for designing fashionable items that women of any age can wear.
