Project Runway Contestants at New York Fashion Week

I worked backstage at the Project Runway finale show but, unfortunately, I can’t say a word about it. I had to sign a confidentiality agreement that says I will pay 1 million dollars for each piece of info that I leak. Yikes! My lips are sealed.

I can tell you that Kerry Washington from the TV show Scandal is the guest judge (I’m allowed to tell you info that’s been made public by other sources). I can also tell you that the final eight contestants showed a collection at New York Fashion Week, without letting on who the finalists were, because (I’m guessing) there is no way that an entire audience would be able to keep a secret of who made it into the final three. If you want to see a few photos of the collections, check out this website (I am absolutely not allowed to take photos either): Project Runway Finale Season 12 

Even though I know who the finalists are (and I sooo wish I could tell you!), I’m excited to see how the rest of the season plays out. And I don’t know who won, so I can’t wait to see the finale on October 17th!

I did run into some former contestants after the show, so I thought you’d be interested in seeing the Project Runway contestants at New York Fashion Week.
