April Johnston "MOTH" at Charleston Fashion Week March 25th

Project Runway Season 8 designer, April Johnston will be a featured designer at Charleston Fashion Week. The new collection is called "MOTH."


By layering sheer fabrics and playing with silhouettes to create a soft and airy feeling, Johnston transforms the idea of the winged creature being drawn towards the light, instead exploring how “light and the viewer can be attracted to the moth"

Tonight On BPR

See, the life of a Project Runway designer doesn't look all that difficult, does it? Enjoy it while you can April, because tonight should be a doozy.

If the previews for Episode 10 are any indication, this promises to be an evening filled with drama. Accusations of cheating, a heart wrenching confession and visits from home - its all so delicious. Oh, there might even be room for a little design in there somewhere as well. We can't wait! You know we are all over this one:

• Tbone and suzq will be hosting BPR's weekly play-by-play/party room beginning at 8:30 p.m. All are welcome to join in the fun as we snark our way through another new episode of Project Runway.
• After Heidi kisses another designer goodbye, tell us what you thought in our reactions thread, posted immediately after the show.

It should be a very interesting evening for Project Runway fans and you don't want to miss it. We'll see you tonight on BPR!
