Project Runway = Fierce Fabulous Fun! Season 5 Update
Fierce, Fabulous and fun pretty much sum up the style and sass of last season’s winner, Christian Siriano. But, will season 5 of “Project Runway” have another Christian - or perhaps another Santion like character?
Well, if the bios for the 16 contestants are any indication… YES! Just take a look at the three Ohio Natives(okay.. one’s a transplant but we will take credit where we can!).
First up - Kelli, 27 - Columbus, Ohio
Attended The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandise Her Favorite designers are Thierry Mugler, Yohji Yamamoto and Betsey Johnson Her fashion item you’ve just got to have… A party dress.
Growing up in Columbus, Ohio, Kelli turned to retail at the age of 15 as a form of escapism and to create a unique look all her own. She fought her way through adversity, receiving a full scholarship from Bob Mackie at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandise in Los Angeles. Once there, she was accepted into the Advanced Design Program where she was able to design and show a small collection in 2006. Kelly went on to design a guitar for Kevan Hall during Los Angeles Fashion Week and just recently started her own empire, Black Market - a cutting edge boutique in her hometown.BravoTV.com
And then there is.. Suede,37 from Seven Hills, Ohio
Went to school at Kent State University. HIs designer muses include: Jean-Paul Gaultier, Christian Lacroix, and Christian Dior - His must have… Great hoodie is he really 37?
Suede started his fashion career as an intern at Geoffrey Beene and decided to pursue a career in sportswear. He has launched denim-based collections, but has a passion for couture, eveningwear and specialty apparel. Suede believes that this wide variety of style makes him a multi-talented designer. He describes himself as edgy, captivating, and alternative. Madonna has been his biggest fashion influence — he finds that her ability to explore so many styles and cultures is a great inspiration. He thinks that layering, experimenting, and leaving things to the imagination are all fashion musts.BravoTV.com
Finally, there is Terri, 39
She calls Chicago her hometown but is currently living in the Buckeye state. Her fashion inspirations include Jean-Paul Gaultier, Karl Lagerfeld and Cristobal Balenciaga. Her fashion gotta have its include Low-waist, bell-cut black pants.
Terri is as a freelance stylist and designer from Chicago. She has worked as an assistant designer to Barbara Bates, a stylist and merchandiser for Nordstrom and a regional visual manager for Levi’s. This Midwestern girl has determination - while attending Columbia College, she started her own fashion organization where any student could display and debut his/her designs in competitions, exhibitions and at an annual fashion show. She is currently working as a Victoria’s Secret visual manager and would like to break out with her own designs. She has eclectic and funky styles that complement her own unique personality. Karl Lagerfeld is Terri’s biggest fashion inspirationBravoTV.com
