Young fans watch the Project Runway finale with Season 3 winner Jeffery Sebelia

Anyone following the phenomenon that is Project Runway now knows that Christian Siriano won Season 4. The judges loved his dramatic collection, feathers and all. Though my favorite Rami Kashou did not win, he will always be a style icon in LA and around the world.

Last night as fans of the show gather around TV’s throughout the country to see who would win the big prize, I was lucky enough to watch the finale with Santino Rice, Jeffrey Sebelia, and Kit Pistol. As soon as the designers arrived, they were surrounded by several the kids at the party. My third grade daughter and many of her friends watch Project Runway every week. They love to discuss the challenges. These lucky little fans were jazzed to have the opportunity to hang out with some of their favorite designers

After the screening, Santino, Kit, and I headed to Cinespace to the Magical Elves screening party to meet up with Andrae Gonzalo. The first person that we saw as we walked into the dark room was none other than model, Amanda Fields. This was quickly becoming one surreal night. I also met Simone LeBlanc, Nick Verreos, Gen Art Vice President Jennifer Egan, and the amazing Elisa Jimenez. During the screening the raucous crowd cheered loudly. The judges crowned Christian the winner, he was presented with a small red Saturn, and pronounced the prince of fierceness. So now it’s time to be a good sport and say, congratulations Christian!
