In honor of the return of Project Runway tonight I decide to do a layout from the Project Runway Day from January 2010. My husband and I are both big fans of this show, so I’m very happy to say we were there for Project Runway Day.
On January 13, 2010 in celebration of “Project Runway’s” return to New York for its seventh season Fashion Avenue was temporarily renamed Project Runway Avenue. Tim Gunn, Nina Garcia and Michel Kors joined city officials and fashion industry representatives at a street naming ceremony in front of the iconic “Needle Threading a Button” sculpture in New York City’s Fashion District. They also presented a New York City Proclamation deeming Wednesday, January 13 as Project Runway Day, highlighting the show’s contribution to New York City’s fashion industry. Since John and I recently became huge fans of Project Runway we were excited to go check this out even despite the frigid temperature. We made sure to get there early since we didn’t know what to expect and were numb by the time the festivities started. It was well worth it to be 5 feet away from Tim Gunn! I tried to talk to him but he was being pulled in many directions for interviews. I did though get to meet Carol Hannah from Season 6 who was one of my favorite contestants. She was a sweetheart and I got my picture taken with her. Also on hand were some former contestants such as Austin Scarlett, models and current designers. All in all it was a very cool but cold experience. The only thing missing was Heidi Klum!
Hope you enjoy the show!
