Read about 5 more Project Runway Winners and what they're doing now here: www.watchmojo.com/blog/2019/02/07/another-5-project-runway-winners-where-are-they-now
I remember Siriano's season and watching it with my then 8 year old son. He said "He is going to win this whole thing" after that candy wrapper dress. Then when he did win he said "He is going to be a big deal". My son still has a good eye for fashion!
It was obvious pretty quickly that Christian Siriano had major talent. It didn't hurt that he was cute, quirky, and funny too. There has never been another like him. His clothes are still knocking it out of the park. He is my favorite designer to this day.
Christian Siriano was head & shoulders above ALL Project Runway contestants and I'm not even into fashion. Even my perpetual Jeans & Tee-shirts self recognized his amazing talent!
I agree with Siriano being number 1 because his designs are spectacular and aside from having so many celebrities who wear his clothes, some of his designs can be bought by people who don't have thousands of dollars. Plus... he is one of the few who makes fabulous plus size dresses for celebrities, woman with colour, etc. He isnt afraid but applauds diversity!
Sofie nummer he has an entire shoe and accessory line at Payless. Cute and affordable and it’s nothing short of amazing. I loved that he was the one to dress Leslie Jones for the premiere of ghost busters. And she looked amazing. He is truly the most memorable winner
Oh I totally agree! Christian Siriano is so #1! I love his designs they r totally out of this world! The first time I started watching his designs on Project Runway I knew he was going to be very successful and that he was going to win. 😍😍😍😍
I’ve only watched a few seasons of this show, including the current one and I’m a straight male with zero interest in fashion but the things they are able to make in just a day or two, all the different types of people who are on the show and their backstories really makes the show a hit.
If you haven't done so, I highly recommend "Project Runway Junior." It's the same premise but with teenage designers. It was only on for two seasons which is a real shame - some of the outfits they created were just as good (and even better) than their adult counterparts. Last time I checked YT had some episodes. :)
@@TarotMage thanks I’ll give it a look. There’s also a show on Netflix, “making the cut”the host is Tan ( the fashion one from queer eye’s newer seasons? ). It’s good as well for the same reasons.
Unpopular opinion: My favorite winner is SEASON 1 Jay. If you look back at this winning collection (which is over 10 years btw) you will see that ,even by today standards, it is one of the most creative, fun, beautifully crafted collections the show has ever shown. The bold use of colors, the wild prints, the playfulness and the “I don’t care” attitude really set him apart from winners. Too bad he did not accept any of the show’s prices. Please go watch his collection!!!
You know why Jay is the best? Because nobody on that show had a clue what was going on. Every season since season one has had someone to follow. It's kind of like cheating.
I only watched one season of project runway and I was immediately impressed by Siriano. He is so talented and I’m happy to see he still has success in his career
Doesn't matter because he surpassed all the winners except Siriano. So happy for him. Goes to show no matter what people say, stay true to your vision.
Love Santino! He designed that jumpsuit for that bitchy lady, and jumpsuits came back in style...I loved his fashion week collection.." where's Andre?"
Chris March was always so much fun, he brought so much joy to his work. He had his own show for a while spotlighting the costume designs he did. Unfortunately he died very young.
I didn't know he died! He was one of my favorite designers they've ever had. He was such a ball of joy and his designs were always out of the box without being gaudy or ridiculous.
Christian by far is the best winner, and Michael Costello is the most succesfull designer on Project Runway (even though he didn't win Season 8/AS1, take that Gretchen Jones)
@@WordWoman111 he has previously been accused of stealing another up and coming designer's work, and when subsequently confronted, he dropped major n-bombs.
I love Leanne Marsh her dresses are organic and there's a sense of calmness on every dresses she make and Also Christian Siriano has a lot of impact I mean I remember him the fastest sewer on his season and he's very talented at a very young age And my favorite designer Mondo Guerra unforgettable name Gretchen's Granola collection might have been the winner but still Mondo won All stars where he beat the best of the best designers from the original seasons
I LOVE Christian Siriano and his designs. I agree that he is #1 and our generation's leader in fashion design. He is simply a genius at design and I don't think that there is anything that he can't do! He is an amazing person in addition to being an amazing designer. So kind and upbeat! I would love to meet this man in person!
Laura made the most beautiful dresses ever on this show or anyone else. I remember shots of audience gasping when some of her dresses came out for her runway show. And the girl who lost to Christian was super talented as well.
Why there’s no this competition in México or Latinoamérica? I think there’s so much talent in our contries, spiced with our latin pasion and drama. Love Chris!!
Christian Siriano. Most talented designer ever. He makes clothes for every woman, not just the slender ones. Love you Christian, thank you for not body shaming us!
Ashley Nell Tipton is an amazing designer and I wish her the best, but I'm still salty Kelly didn't win that season, she had the best Fashion Week collection I've ever seen on the show. You can't change my mind.
@@chercher304 I agree. I am plus sized and I thought Ashley's designs were juvenile and badly constructed. I saw her actual clothes in JCPenney. One of the worst places to feature plus size clothing due to quality issues. JCP is okay with their store brands for sweaters and pajamas. It is hit or miss for clothing national brands like Levis. Their fashions are outdated and poorly constructed. JCP is great for baby and children's clothes and household products.
Agree! I think Ashley only won because she was the first to use plus size models and that was an unfair advantage. The judges wanted good PR that they supported plus size fashion
Please, please, pleez do a Christian Siriano Top 10 designs, love him! And looove how openly and enthusiastically embraces women of color models and celebrities!
I LOVED Siriano then and i love him now. He has lovable personality and he knows his craft. He walks by my boutique in Ridgefield, CT few times a year.
I know this is a list of winners but it would've been nice to list Mondo Guerra, Michael Costello, and Rami Kashou as honorable mentions/non-winners who have also been successful.
However, Christian Siriano today will return to Project Runway for the 17th season as the mentor alongside Karlie Kloss as the host when it premieres on Bravo on March 14.
I hope you will do one on other busy designers, the ones who are out there designing their hearts out, and didn't 'win' on the show. I can think of many interesting and beloved designers doing exciting things in fashion, Nick Verreos, Austin Scarlett, Malan Breton, Korto, Uli, Rami, Fade, Michael Costello, there are so many, and what about the Season 7 international designers like Biddell, Christian Exie, Cynthia Hayashi, Django Steenbakker, there are many exciting, incredible designers that haven't been covered in depth or over and over by the show yet lead dynamic fashion careers. Nicolaus D'Aurizio, for example, from New York/New Jersey area, has created his own design house Nicolena in Haiti. Very cool things happening over there. This was a well-made video, would just love to see more about the other designers we don't get to hear much about. Thank you.
I still don't think Ashley deserved to win... Yes she used full figured models, but Kelly did a much better job throughout the season (especially towards the end).
Siriano is my all time favorite. He was my favorite in his season from the begining. I liked Anya and Antony Ryan also. Love that they made last season for All stars all winners.
Love Erin! Favorite winner. (and Siriano too, he built an EMPIRE from nothing, miles away from any other winner). And -unpopular opinion- Ashley only won because of her plus size work. Pretty sure if she had used 'regular' models she would be hammered. The clothes were not nice and poorly constructed.
I completely agree. I didn’t like Ashley’s clothes and I believe she won because of “trying to be new” and i met Erin being in boston and she was so sweet. The best winner is Cristian Sirrano. He tries to be diverse and isn’t afraid to stand out and dress everyone! Making everyone feel included with his clothes as well and their low prices. He’s amazing and he deserves his success.
Lucas Soares Coutinho yea i was working at tj Maxx and she stopped by and I literally freaked out haha but i got the guts to talk to her after my co-workers convinced me and she was so sweet and looks the same. It was this January in 2018 so i hope she’s doing good now too!
I agree with the comments concerning the deserved praise for Christian and Michael Costello. They are not too snobby to design for non model types. Their designs appeal to real women.
Jay turned down the Project Runway prizes and contract due to the perpetuity clause (which has been dropped). Haven't seen or heard about him since his was on "Celebrity Fit Club" in 2010.
I knew CSiriano was going to be successful when he designed a dress for a plus size individual and he favorite line: we are going to be Fierce and yes U R!!😘🙂
James Ryan I’m sorry. I agree with Tim. she did not deserve to win. She won off of pity. Galiano made a coat dress with flowers at the edge. Rita Ora wore it. Then on You Tube Angela Clayton made a floral border skirt with a net overlay and then when I started seeing in 2014 I made the same thing. And I glued it. Ashley was not supposed to glue and her hems were falling apart. She did not deserve that win.
How could u leave out Anya Ayoung Chee???? She learnt to sew months before the show, won and appeared on Project Runway Allstars. She even designs costumes for Carnival now
She was also considered one of the nicest and most helpful contestants during that season, also went on to do a lingerie line and appeared on another reality show to mentor other designers. She's still designing to this day from what I understand as well. People don't know half this woman's accomplishments lol - from both before and after Project Runway.
@Joseph Manning RIGHT, like remember that special they had with 8 people who were runner ups and they gave Daniel the win, I honestly didn't like his collection at all, it just didn't seem polished to me
djanime317 I couldn’t agree more and furthermore I felt like she was also felt like her or Kenley should’ve won (even though I didn’t like her attitude towards Tim) Kenley’s collection spoke to me the most
shpei88 Me too! The look that made me team Leanne was the Saturn unconventional challenge, the dress with the the hips that she made and I was blown away by that look!! It was the best looking out of everybody’s on that challenge.

You do NOT say "10 year anniversary" - it's "10th anniversary" as all anniversaries by definition are measured in years. Root word "ann" means year.
Not only is Siriano extremely extremely extremely talented he flipped his fashion house to make masks for hospitals during this crisis. ♥️
👎🏼
so? Masks were proven to be worthless. These designers just jumped on the bandwagon of stupidness.
Christian is the best they ever had. ❤❤
I remember Siriano's season and watching it with my then 8 year old son. He said "He is going to win this whole thing" after that candy wrapper dress. Then when he did win he said "He is going to be a big deal". My son still has a good eye for fashion!
can you son give me the Lotto numbers?
I watched it, too, and was so happy that Christian won. It helped me get over Daniel losing the year before.
Remember when Siriano designed a dress to Leslie Jones after some designers didn't want to? Niceeeee
normalgirlcvco who is Leslie Jones? Oh... never mind; she’s that racist black woman.
JesMei She’s a comedian
Racist, what did she do?
@@firstlast9788 Nothing.
@@firstlast9788 She had the temerity to be black, famous and not pretty.
It was obvious pretty quickly that Christian Siriano had major talent. It didn't hurt that he was cute, quirky, and funny too. There has never been another like him. His clothes are still knocking it out of the park. He is my favorite designer to this day.
Mine too!
Christian Siriano was head & shoulders above ALL Project Runway contestants and I'm not even into fashion. Even my perpetual Jeans & Tee-shirts self recognized his amazing talent!
I agree with Siriano being number 1 because his designs are spectacular and aside from having so many celebrities who wear his clothes, some of his designs can be bought by people who don't have thousands of dollars.

Sofie nummer he has an entire shoe and accessory line at Payless. Cute and affordable and it’s nothing short of amazing. I loved that he was the one to dress Leslie Jones for the premiere of ghost busters. And she looked amazing. He is truly the most memorable winner
He agrees to dress the people who other designers refuse to dress. He deserves no.1
Sofie nummer yes, Siriano is FIERCE 😁
He also makes wedding dresses, doesn't he?
Oh I totally agree! Christian Siriano is so #1! I love his designs they r totally out of this world! The first time I started watching his designs on Project Runway I knew he was going to be very successful and that he was going to win. 😍😍😍😍

That's a good way to look at it, even if fashion isn't something you're interested in. What these people do is art.
@@mlmn3080 yes. I totally agree.
Yeah it's essentially about artists making art.
Unpopular opinion:
My favorite winner is SEASON 1 Jay. If you look back at this winning collection (which is over 10 years btw) you will see that ,even by today standards, it is one of the most creative, fun, beautifully crafted collections the show has ever shown.
The bold use of colors, the wild prints, the playfulness and the “I don’t care” attitude really set him apart from winners.

Ok... what the hell??? Wheres Mondo? Where's Dimitri?? Ya'll left out the best people!!!
Mondo didn't win, at least not the original show. I was rooting for him
LOL. Why do you just google them instead of whining here.
Mondo won All Stars 1 aka Mondo's Revenge NOT his OG season.
Whatever happened to Andrei? :)
@@ishtarisnothome6881 LMFAO. Look out for Andrei, he's out little lamb.
How about showing some of the designers who didn't win, but have gone on to have hugely successful careers and likewise, winners who didn't?
which one?!
@Elle-xf8mw I can think of Michael Costello, he didn't win in season 8 but I recall he went on to dress Beyonce for the Grammys.
I will never forget Kentaro Kamenyana's runway show as as long as I live. Spectacular!
I got chills
if anyone is curious about Mondo, he designs now for many drag queens from rupaul's drag race
I love him. Mondo and Crystal Methyd is such a perfect pairing
I only watched one season of project runway and I was immediately impressed by Siriano. He is so talented and I’m happy to see he still has success in his career
Dom and Seth Aaron were just SO good. Nice to see what they are up to!
I'm a big fan of this show. I absolutely love Christian Siriano.
Me too
Christian was always my favorite! I fell in love with him on Project Runway! His sweetness just shone through...
Christian was always on another level, I’m not surprised at how successful he is now
Also Ashley Nell Tipton partnered with simplicity patterns to create a line of plus size sewing patterns! They were great!
not surprised Christian Siriano is #1, remember watching that season and just being absolutely blown away with his talent. In his own league.
I wore an Ashley Nell Tipton dress for my wedding reception! I absolutely love it still have it & wear it 😍
Michael Costello deserves a shout out even though he didn’t win.
read the title! it is about the winners. There are many talented other contestants on the show but that is not relevant here...
O D He is bigger than most winners though. We even know him in my country.
Doesn't matter because he surpassed all the winners except Siriano. So happy for him. Goes to show no matter what people say, stay true to your vision.
Wish he would have won his season. After all the bs they put him through I am so glad he is successful.
costello dresses Beyonce .
and Santino! "Where's Andre"? He's at the Red Lobster with Tim.
Love Santino! He designed that jumpsuit for that bitchy lady, and jumpsuits came back in style...I loved his fashion week collection.." where's Andre?"
Harper that was funny
Harper that’s hilarious 😂
fave season
Siriano DEFINITELY deserves to be number one ... Probably two and three as well.... He is FIERCE!
Chris March was always so much fun, he brought so much joy to his work. He had his own show for a while spotlighting the costume designs he did. Unfortunately he died very young.
I didn't know he died! He was one of my favorite designers they've ever had. He was such a ball of joy and his designs were always out of the box without being gaudy or ridiculous.
Christian Siriano my fav he had a shoe collection for Payless I once had owned a pair. 😄
He still has his shoe collection with payless!
I got a cute pair of boots from his collection a couple months ago.
I bought a cute pair of black flats.
I bought one pair too!! amazing all of them and fierce as him :3
This is one of my favorite things about him. He designs for everyone!
Omg!! I knew I recognized the name! I have like 3 pairs 😂😂😂
Christian by far is the best winner, and Michael Costello is the most succesfull designer on Project Runway (even though he didn't win Season 8/AS1, take that Gretchen Jones)
I mean he's a racist who steal designs, and on the show he was shit
@@WordWoman111 he has previously been accused of stealing another up and coming designer's work, and when subsequently confronted, he dropped major n-bombs.
@@madbliss9197 What really? I'll have to Google that especially after making it big dressing a mixed woman (Beyonce!).
Michael Costello was accused of stealing other people's designs? So was Edith Head and she won eight Academy Awards.
@@maryrose8478 , Beyonce is not mixed. Both her parents are black.
Ashley Nell Tipton went to my old high school. My senior year advisor was so proud of her when she got on project runway.
I love Leanne Marsh her dresses are organic and there's a sense of calmness on every dresses she make and Also Christian Siriano has a lot of impact I mean I remember him the fastest sewer on his season and he's very talented at a very young age
And my favorite designer Mondo Guerra unforgettable name Gretchen's Granola collection might have been the winner but still Mondo won All stars where he beat the best of the best designers from the original seasons
For me this is one of my fav shows airing. Nice to see a few of my fav designers here too.
Oh my God yes!!! Christian Siriano!!! YOUR BAGS ARE TO DIE FOR!!! 😭😭😍
Yay so glad to see Siriano as number one. That man could sew up a storm, and wow the craftsmanship! Amazing! Loved his fierceness!! = )
Project runway is the most inspiring show for fashion designers and the viewers
I LOVE Christian Siriano and his designs. I agree that he is #1 and our generation's leader in fashion design. He is simply a genius at design and I don't think that there is anything that he can't do! He is an amazing person in addition to being an amazing designer. So kind and upbeat!

I adore Christian. But where's Dmitriy? DMITRIY is my winner for all time)
He has been on All Star seasons over and over again. Sadly, Dimitry has no career. All he knows is compete on TV show.
Best show on television! Watched them all and cheered and cried throughout! Amazing designers!
Where is Dimitry? He’s my favorite
Where is Michelle Lesniak, Jeff Sebelia, Anya, Gretchen, or Jay McCarroll?
@@irishpogi gretchen? ew
On project runway all stars 7 winners edition
He has been on All Star seasons over and over again. Sadly, Dimitry has no career. All he knows is compete on TV show.
Umm he sucks.. No thanks
Christian Sriano. Is incredible. Loved him from the beginning!
#2 remember when the judges named her Petals Marshall because she always added petals to her outfit? She won and it was a great moment
Christian is the absolute best!! Love this show as it has launched so many wonderful fashion careers
I have a pair of Christian Siriano shoes and I love them! So proud of how far he's come!
So happy to see Chloe Dao on this list and so high up too.
Christian Siriano fragrances are amazing
He is good at everything. I have his shoes
Laura made the most beautiful dresses ever on this show or anyone else. I remember shots of audience gasping when some of her dresses came out for her runway show. And the girl who lost to Christian was super talented as well.
Laura was the only one where her personal style( elegant to the nth degree) matched her designs.
You are referring to Jillian Lewis?
Why there’s no this competition in México or Latinoamérica? I think there’s so much talent in our contries, spiced with our latin pasion and drama. Love Chris!!
Leanne was my fave :) she was true to her aesthetics and I love her pieces, the wedding dresses are to die for 😍
Agree w your pics but I also love ULI HERZBER, she was in the finale but didn't win but her collection was by far my fav
Christian Siriano is the best ever. I was rooting for him.
KENTARO is my favorite.
mine too, i just love him
his season is the most diverse and all designers have solid point of views to which the latest show don't have
I loved how artistic his final runway was and plus he is adorable😍
Christian Siriano. Most talented designer ever. He makes clothes for every woman, not just the slender ones. Love you Christian, thank you for not body shaming us!
Ashley Nell Tipton is an amazing designer and I wish her the best, but I'm still salty Kelly didn't win that season, she had the best Fashion Week collection I've ever seen on the show. You can't change my mind.
I think they just picked her for politically correct reasons!!
I won't try to change your mind since you're absolutely right.
@@chercher304 I agree. I am plus sized and I thought Ashley's designs were juvenile and badly constructed. I saw her actual clothes in JCPenney.

Fully agree! Kelly was the best and most unique.
Dom and Seth Aaron are my all-time favourites.
Marina I like Dom,like Mondo she’s a master at mixing prints and different textures which I’m a fan of
I suspect there are a lot of contestants - including some winners - who never amounted to anything and haven't had much success.
christian was my favorite and now hes mentoring the latest prodgct runway
Please, please, pleez do a Christian Siriano Top 10 designs, love him! And looove how openly and enthusiastically embraces women of color models and celebrities!
I LOVED Siriano then and i love him now. He has lovable personality and he knows his craft. He walks by my boutique in Ridgefield, CT few times a year.
Glad to see 2 of my fav winners right there. Chloe and Leeanne are so underrated i love those 2, I love Dom too
Maybe im a bit biased but what Dimitry has done in PR was really good, looked great
I know this is a list of winners but it would've been nice to list Mondo Guerra, Michael Costello, and Rami Kashou as honorable mentions/non-winners who have also been successful.
Christian will always be my fav from project runway. Fierce
Closely followed by Jeffrey Sebelius (Season 3)
What about Austin Scarlett and Santino Rice? I’d love to know how Jack Mackenroth, Chris March and Rami Kashou are doing, too.
Unfortunately, chris march is deceased.
However, Christian Siriano today will return to Project Runway for the 17th season as the mentor alongside Karlie Kloss as the host when it premieres on Bravo on March 14.
You were right it is coming on Bravo next Thursday. I wanted to be sure so I looked it up and sure enough there it was!
Irina, Dom, and Erin are my favorite winners! Their looks were all STUNNING!
Omg, Erin! Or as my friends and I used to call her, Young Madonna. I loved her on PR. I'm glad she's still going strong.
Siriano?? DDEFINITELY AGREE! He's fierce!
I hope you will do one on other busy designers, the ones who are out there designing their hearts out, and didn't 'win' on the show. I can think of many interesting and beloved designers doing exciting things in fashion, Nick Verreos, Austin Scarlett, Malan Breton, Korto, Uli, Rami, Fade, Michael Costello, there are so many, and what about the Season 7 international designers like Biddell, Christian Exie, Cynthia Hayashi, Django Steenbakker, there are many exciting, incredible designers that haven't been covered in depth or over and over by the show yet lead dynamic fashion careers. Nicolaus D'Aurizio, for example, from New York/New Jersey area, has created his own design house Nicolena in Haiti. Very cool things happening over there. This was a well-made video, would just love to see more about the other designers we don't get to hear much about. Thank you.
Sean Kelly, Seth Aaron and Irina are also in All stars season 7 that is airing right now
Dom Streater is an artist ilysm she is such an inspiration
Mondo will forever be my favourite winner! I love his work
Technically, he won All Stars. He was robbed of his win the first time.
I still don't think Ashley deserved to win... Yes she used full figured models, but Kelly did a much better job throughout the season (especially towards the end).
Totally agree about Kelly. Even Tim Gunn threw a little shade Ashley's way concerning her win.
Take a shot every time you hear the word "eponymous." By the end of this video you will be drunk.
Dmitry also should hv bn on ths list.
Pretty sure this video was done before Dmitry's win.
Where’s my love Dimitry? He won his season and his season of all stars
I am so happy PR is back on Bravo!!!
I love Erin's dress. The dress she has on that's a rose color.
I wish best for kentaro.such a human being and truly artist
Christian is my fav, loved his shoes at Payless!!! I miss Payless shoes
As a Kiwi I’m so proud of Sean Kelly!😀🙌🏻🇳🇿🔥
Christen is (or was) the mentor for the newer project runway season.
Funny this popped up now. I'm rewatching Project Runway atm and I looked at a similar list yesterday!
Siriano is my all time favorite. He was my favorite in his season from the begining. I liked Anya and Antony Ryan also. Love that they made last season for All stars all winners.
Do a top Project Runway contestands were are they now to :D
Jay’s collection is still my favorite of all.
Love Erin! Favorite winner. (and Siriano too, he built an EMPIRE from nothing, miles away from any other winner). And -unpopular opinion- Ashley only won because of her plus size work.

Agreed. I felt like it was because the show wanted a plus-size designer to win to avoid criticism
I agree with the comments concerning the deserved praise for Christian and Michael Costello. They are not too snobby to design for non model types. Their designs appeal to real women.
I love the show, but season 1 was the BEST season EVER! 😍 I wonder how is Jay nowadays
Jay has been a great mentor to Dom Streeter
Agreed! Santino was one of my all time favorites. I heard Jay was very ill and in the hospital
Danielle Denis I thought I was the only one who loved Santino. I thought his designs were creative and different yet still beautiful.
@@pinkmonkeybird2644 Loved him, check him out on his website, his use of color is brilliant.
Jay turned down the Project Runway prizes and contract due to the perpetuity clause (which has been dropped). Haven't seen or heard about him since his was on "Celebrity Fit Club" in 2010.
Loved seeing some of my favs here that I haven't seen in awhile like Erin, Ashley, and Leanne!
Rami Kashou is probably my favorite designer!
I knew CSiriano was going to be successful when he designed a dress for a plus size individual and he favorite line: we are going to be Fierce and yes U R!!😘🙂
What about Austin Scarlett ? He was the first ever project runway winner he’s dress are beautiful
Jay McCarroll won that season. Austin came in fourth place
Actually, he didn't win, Jay McCarroll did
Because he wasn't the first ever project runway winner?? It was Jay
But still, both of them are creative geniuses in their own way
Unfortunately Austin didn't even make the final 3. It was Jay McCarroll (winner), Kara Saun and Wendy Pepper.
Dom Streater is 😍😍😍
I remember when Tim Gunn had some pretty negative things to say about Ashley Nell( and deservedly so).
James Ryan I’m sorry. I agree with Tim. she did not deserve to win. She won off of pity. Galiano made a coat dress with flowers at the edge. Rita Ora wore it. Then on You Tube Angela Clayton made a floral border skirt with a net overlay and then when I started seeing in 2014 I made the same thing. And I glued it. Ashley was not supposed to glue and her hems were falling apart. She did not deserve that win.
James Ryan oh really what he said about her
How could u leave out Anya Ayoung Chee???? She learnt to sew months before the show, won and appeared on Project Runway Allstars. She even designs costumes for Carnival now
She's one of the worst winners who did the least. Viktor Luna should have won that season.
She was also considered one of the nicest and most helpful contestants during that season, also went on to do a lingerie line and appeared on another reality show to mentor other designers. She's still designing to this day from what I understand as well. People don't know half this woman's accomplishments lol - from both before and after Project Runway.
Yes!!! Christian Siriano was fierce! I love him.
Unpopular opinion, and I love Seth Aaron, but Korto was robbed on All Stars season 3
@Joseph Manning RIGHT, like remember that special they had with 8 people who were runner ups and they gave Daniel the win, I honestly didn't like his collection at all, it just didn't seem polished to me
She was not robbed at all!
This is what I wanted to say !
@@deathbeforedecaf7755 hence why I said unpopular opinion lol
djanime317 I couldn’t agree more and furthermore I felt like she was also felt like her or Kenley should’ve won (even though I didn’t like her attitude towards Tim) Kenley’s collection spoke to me the most
Where is Dimitry????!!! He's the best!!!!
Christian Siriano so talented and charismatic. :) fierce!
I was going to be angry if Leanne wasn’t on the list. Missed Jay though.
shpei88 Me too! The look that made me team Leanne was the Saturn unconventional challenge, the dress with the the hips that she made and I was blown away by that look!! It was the best looking out of everybody’s on that challenge.
What happened to Jay from Season 1?
I heard that he was very I'll and in the hospital a while back
I saw him on Real Housewives of New York where he made Sonja Morgan a beautiful cabaret dress.
Christian is BIG in fashion design. My favorite
