With the new season of Project Runway starting up on Wednesday, November 4 at 10 p.m., I was curious to see how far the first three winners have gone since their 15 minutes. Here's what I got...Season 1:
Winner Jay McCarroll had one show during NY Fashion Week in Fall 2006 sponsored by the Humane Society (he's anti-fur), but is now "homeless and relying on the kindness of friends who are allowing him to stay at their apartments," according to his wiki page.
Season 2:
Winner Chloe Dao still operates the store she already had before the show, Lot 8, in Houston. Last May she debuted a 13-piece collection sold on QVC called Simply. Chloe Dao. It kind of sucks.
Season 3:
Winner Jeffrey Sebelia has continued with his already-successful (again, before the show) L.A.-based Cosa Nostra label. According to a New York Magazine article last spring, his line was "under consideration" by Bergdorf Goodman, but looks like it wasn't picked up as there is nothing of his on their site. His stuff IS for sale on his site, however.
Check out the Season 4 Bios here and decide for yourself who'll be the next designer Bravo will thrust forth into marginal success!
