There is Life After ‘Project Runway’
Blogged under Apparel, Boutiques, Informational by Jennifer Hill on Thursday 17 January 2008

The producers of Bravo’s Project Runway TV series have a knack for finding austin-scarlett-dress.jpgpromising design talent from every corner of the United States. With Season Four in full swing, we wondered what some of the previous contestants are up to today. The winner of Season One was the colorful Jay McCarroll, who recently moved back to his hometown of Philadelphia; he’s selling handbags at Mew Gallery and Topstitch Boutique. According to Philadelphia Magazine, the big news is that he plans to sell a new line on QVC at the end of February. But the real breakout from Season One is Austin Scarlett, now a bridal designer with Kenneth Pool. We recently caught him outfitting one of The Real Housewives of Orange County  (another Bravo series) for her upcoming nuptials. Season Two’s Chloe Dao had some stiff competition from the wildly gifted runner-up Daniel Vosovic and the charismatic Santino Rice. But she came out the winner, jay-mccarroll-bag-mew-gallery.jpgand quickly became a mini-style mogul back home in Houston when she launched LOT 8, offering everything from salon services to fashion. Another Season Two alum is Emmett McCarthy, who has launched EMc2, boutique with a wide range of chic looks. His EMc2 design team created the Tim Gunn talking bobblehead – a must for the design fanatic in your life who needs the occasional “Make It Work” or “Carry On” to inspire greatness. Season Three’s Malan Breton left early but went on to produce a deceptively simple, utterly luxurious Spring 2008 collection; his online boutique features some of the prettiest frocks and sexiest bags from any of the Project Runway alumni. But it was Jeffrey Sebelia who won the big prize at the end of Season Three and put his company, Cosa Nostra, on the map. The online boutique has a limited offering of men’s and women’s apparel, but you can see Jeffrey’s 2008 Spring/Summer Collection which has his signature “I’m a rock star. I just rolled out of bed” look along with several pretty dresses for the girliest of girls.
