I recently received a note from a reader mentioning that Keith Bryce's work was featured on this photographer's site. (Thank you Salvador.) I followed up with a note to Keith asking for confirmation and to discover what he has been doing lately. Thank you for your gracious response, Keith.
Yep that's all me... It's a whole new level of design since Project Runway.. I find myself in a battle to make it to New York Fashion Week somehow. Trying to find a way of making my own second chance. I got so depressed after the show because I really felt I didn't really get to show my true talent. I think it was harder on me then most. I've just wanted to show a collection in New York my whole life and I won't stop until I do...
Now more inspired then ever to leave my mark and become an international success, I've been designing fashion photography, deciding everything from model and hair to wardrobe and concept.. I'm now looking for an agency to help rep me as a conceptual stylist and potentially get me editorial magazine work/recognized. Then I can do that until I can fund my own big fashion show or I meet the right people to get behind me.. Then hopefully Paris next..
I've done so much in the last year I feel like a new person. Sorry everyone but I've kind of quit the gym and I'm working on my fashion 24/7 so hopefully very soon I'll be moving to the city. Just trying to have work lined up so I will be able to get a place big enough for my studio... Most of my great new portfolio work has been done in the last six months so.
I've been working hard. I'm ready for some one to notice.. So am I busy? Yeah but because I make it that way. Not because of that many jobs but because job or not I'm always creating my next big project..
I wish I knew any of the new designers but I don't... I barely got to know the other ones. he he =)
Please check out Keithbryce.com if you would like to see more of my current work... [Also more here!] It's good to know I'm not forgotten about yet.. I'll figure out a way to make it to the top.. you wait and see.

The Scarlett talks with Project Runway Season 5 designer Keith Bryce who talks about his win in the 'Welcome to the Jungle' episode, his favorite tattoo and his Filthy Gorgeous line of fashion. Be sure to sign up for his mailing list to receive updates when his next collection launches.
You took the judges' comments to heart this week and veered outside your aesthetic. Instead of deconstructing, you aimed for a sleeker, more body-conscious silhouette. You should be applauded for the attempt and results looked very ready-to-wear. Your win in the 'Welcome to the Jungle' episode revealed how well you collaborate with another designer and your skill in selling a look to a celebrity client. That dress was a stunning achievement and is set to appear on network television worn by a fashion icon. This was an excellent showing, Keith, and you should be very proud of your efforts.
This post is only for positive words for Keith Bryce or his work. If you have anything else to say about other designers or this challenge, click here.
You were the first designer selected by Brooke Shields who enjoyed the layers and the proportions. The dress you created was exactly like your drawing but looked even more lighter-than-air on the runway composed of floating chiffon petals and a bold printed, convertible blouse. You collaborated well with Kenley - her clean lines joined with your raw aesthetic could have had a jarring result but looked, according to Brooke "inspired ... rich and expensive." In the end you seem to have brought out the best in each other and now you will have a photo in your portfolio of model/actress/fashion icon Brooke Shields wearing your ensemble on television. Well done, Keith!

We received a nice note from PR sponsor and blogger Lisa Gilpin of Saturn reminding us that several of your favorite former contestants are blogging Season 5 at Saturn's Rethink Design site. It's tough digging through Bravo's website to find these, but we're here to help! Blogging for Saturn this season are Alison Kelly, Chris March, Jack Mackenroth, Kit Pistol, and Laura Bennett. Go say hello to Lisa and some of your old faves.
Here's an intersting ranking of former Project Runway designer websites at Urlesque.com. We see some glaring omissions!
And finally, here's more on the continuing romance between Wesley and Daniel, including a little rule breaking reveal: But the couple broke show rules by communicating with each other the day after the elimination. Nault passed Feld a note, and Feld gave Nault a silver bracelet. "I later got in trouble for that," says Nault, "because it wasn't allowed." Hmmmm. We wonder what Keith Michael would think of all that!
