Click here for a new interview with Project Runway Season Two winner, Chloe Dao. A highlight: What do you think of this season�s �Project Runway?�
Chloe: I was watching up until Ping, the crazy Asian girl, got eliminated. They let 10 designers show at Fashion Week. It�s insulting to past seasons. What�s the point if [almost] every designer gets to show at Fashion Week? They could have waited and let three designers show. I was turned off and disgusted. I feel bad for both seasons [6 and 7], especially [sixth season winner] Irina [Shabayeva]. She didn�t have the experience of walking out with the crowd.
