Project Runway Finale

9.15 2011

Early Morning Flight

Landing in New York.

Fashion Night Out, window displays at Bergdorf. 

The tents! What is a fashion ranger?

Dress for the show. Megan, Ez and I at Smilebooth.

The runway! Heidi!

Empire Hotel lobby, taking the subway with my parents.

Forever 21 Times Square, my new gold flats from Soel Boutique.

Ground Zero on September 10th.

I’ve decided to break my New York trip into two posts, not because I have so much to say, mainly because I have so many pictures to share.

I want to start by saying that HP is by far one of the best brands that I have worked with. I felt spoiled the whole trip + every detail was thought of + planned for.

The Project Runway Finale taping was literally a dream come true. Honest to goodness it was on my bucket list + has been crossed off. No, I don’t know who won or ever who is in the finale. The top 9 designers all show at Lincoln Center, so there were 6 decoy collections in addition to the 3 finalists. I really liked Laura and Anthony Ryan’s collection + pieces from everybody else’s. Collections here,
Viktors
Bryce
Bert
Kimberly
Olivier
Anya
Joshua
Anthony Ryan
Laura

Did you have a favorite collection?

It was so great to see the collections in person. There are so many great details and movement that the photos can’t capture.

Besides the finale, I had a great time exploring the city with my parents, seeing friends + late night dinners.

   Looks like such a fabulous time! Those Bergdorf window displays are beautiful. I'm partial to Kimberly and Laura's collections, and pieces from Joshua and Oliver's but looks like they were all very well done. Can't wait to see the rest of your pictures!
