Ohioan competes in “Project Runway 3”
“Project Runway 3” is here! One of the best reality shows on TV is back tonight for its third season and this season looks to be a good one.
This season will feature 15 designers selected from thousands on hopefuls for an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to show their designs in New York’s Fashion Week. Each week the designers face-off in challenges meant to separate the best from the rest. Of course, this is where the great reality TV comes in as the designers snip, cut, jab, stretch and snap at and sometimes on each other fraying their last nerve.
The “Project Runway 3� designers are:
- Bradley Baumkirchner, 32, Los Angeles, CA
- Robert Best, 36, West Hollywood, CA
- Laura Bennett, 42, New York, NY
- Malan Breton, 32, Long Island City, NY
- Bonnie Dominguez, 31, San Diego, CA
- Stacey Estrella, 40, San Francisco, CA
- Katherine Gerdes, 25, Minneapolis, MN
- Kayne Gillaspie, 27, Norman, OK
- Ulrike “Uli� Herzner, 35, Miami Beach, FL
- Alison Kelly, 25, Brooklyn, NY
- Angela Keslar, 33, Amesville, OH
- Michael Knight, 28, Atlanta, GA
- Vincent Libretti, 49, Santa Monica, CA
- Keith Michael, 34, New York, NY
- Jeffrey Sebelia, 36, Los Angeles, CA
This season features one Ohioan, Angela Keslar, from Amesville, near Athens. Her website is http://www.angelakeslar.com. She and her husband share a 225-acre farm in southeastern Ohio living totally off the grid, “powered by solar electricity and good organic food.”
Saturn will award the winner a 2007 Saturn Sky Roadster. The winner’s designs will be featured in a spread in ELLE magazine and Macy’s will award them with a mentorship with I.N.C. International Concepts. The winning designer will also walk away with $100,000 in seed money from TRESemmé to help launch his or her own line.
The host of the show is supermodel, Heidi Klum. Judges for the show include Michael Kors, fashion designer; Elle Magazine fashion director, Nina Garcia and a guest judge each week. Tim Gunn, Chair of Fashion Design for Parson the New School for Design, serves as the contestants mentor.
