Thanks for the info, Jared. Can’t wait for Season Three!
OOooooooo I can’t wait either…..
Wow…. there’s a black guy there!
#3It’s about time.
I wonder if the Black guy is gonna make dresses and women’s wear or is this season all about men’s wear? Heidi must have another trick up her sleeve.
Can’t Wait!
I’m soooo excited! I was just looking for the new cast pictures this morning
Last season had 2 black (albeit mixed) guys - Andrae and Santino.
THey look like wannabe actors trying to be look young and hip. *gag* There’s not much diversity and there’s definitely not any freaks. I don’t think I’d be able to watch this season. I guess the new sponsor wanted a hipper cast.
isn’t the show focused around the clothing being designed? last time i checked, this wasn’t another modern-day soap opera. granted they want to keep it interesting, but they don’t have to put "freaks" on there in order to do that. the clothing and the designs should be interesting enough themselves.
yum yum. more eye candy. last season’s weren’t so good looking.
Well this cast looks like they’re form a soap opera. UGH! I hope they got talent, but still it’s a shame PR went the way of looks.
its just the way they were shot in this photoshoot.they are not any more attractive than the last pr groupsbravo is just getting better in ways of advertising.
SANTINO AND ANDRE WAS NO WHERE NEAR MIXED,,,,,ESPECIALLY WITH BLACK. R U BLIND. JUST B/ SOME IS MIXED DON’T BE THEM AUTOMATICALLY MIXED WITH BLACK. GET OUTTA HERE…….
Santino’s mother is Half-Black and Half-Italian and his father is German, Jewish, Scottish, English, Welsh, French, and Native American. So yes, Santino is part black. Andrae is Half-Filipino and various types of Caucasian.
I think Robert Best went to Parson’s with me , where he was quite the star pupil. Keith Michael seems intriguing, as does Malan Breton. Wonder if he’s related to the surrealist Andre Breton. Looks alot like him.
Who cares if she or he is black. It’s all about the clothe people.
don’t even get me started on diversity. If they want really good fashion designers they should try out more ASIANS. Obviously Chloe has proven herself, they were probably thinking: oh we can’t have another Asian participant…so sad….Asians have the most sophisticated aesthetic that westerners have always and forever will COPY.
Robert Best! Robert Best! Robert Best!He has to win this!!!!He is a Barbie fashion desinger! His dolls are the best in the industry!!!Check them out:http://www.barbiemuseum.nl/silkstone.htmand here:http://www.geocities.com/FashionAvenue/6994/best.html
I am so glad bravotv is bringing project runway back. I finally have a reason to live during the summer. I did not agree with their choice as winner of season 2, but I am willing to reconcile with the judges (Daniel should have won - I guess you can’t have two gay white men win in a row).
Is it true that one of the designers(Jim Sebelia) was a former Hell’s Angel?
Project Runway Rocks
There’s no such thing as a ‘former’ Hell’s Angel.PR Rocks!
# 15 | Just Jaredthanks for the info about ANDRE [I knew it that he was half flip lol]. Santino and him were hella funny! I definitely love the Tim/andre conversation lmao.My fav for this season is Alison Kelly and KM
[…] Project Runway 3 Designers' Biographies Thu, 22 June 2006 at 12:00 am Mom-to-be Heidi Klum, two-year-old daughter Leni, and nine-month-old son Henry (and nanny!) got picked up by her singer husband Seal after arriving at LAX airport this past Tuesday. With a new baby on the way, Seal remarked: "It gives me great joy to announce that Heidi, Leni, Henry and I are expecting a new addition to our ever increasing family. We all feel both excited and fortunate to be able to share this experience once again. The arrival of any child brings you a lot of happiness."
