Project Runway Season 4 Meets Season 7

We love it when seasons collide and it is apparent that Project Runway Alums are all part of one big family.



Jack Mackenroth and Kevin Christiana joined Maya Luz and Seth Aaron Henderson at Mila Hermanovski's viewing party last night.



From Jack: Hey BPR, Here are some cute pics from last nights viewing party in downtown New York. Kevin and I stopped in to meet Mila, Seth Aaron and Maya. Mila organized the event and it was great to meet everyone and all their friends and share war stories. I tried to get them to tell me who the winner was but they have all been very well trained. We will have to wait and see......:) OXO

Fashion In Detroit: Really? Yes.
Brit Moore

Thanks to Joe Faris and his team, Detroit just got the gift of quality fashion right in their own backyard, the Detroit Zoo. Detroit is not known for its style or its zoo, but already and potentially more so in the future, Fashion In Detroit will turn heads all over the country. With the likes of CNN, WWD and the NY Times lending an ear to this event, Joe Faris, might very well be on to something. Something Detroit really needs, and something it has never had, a rising fashion industry.

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: Despite being eliminated first, are you happy with your experience on Project Runway? Would you do it again?
