If someone simply showed you the photos of the designs from any episode of Season 4, you always knew which one Christina Scarbo produced. That's a big compliment considering the group of talented peers she squared off against each week. Seemingly always on the cusp of breaking through the winners circle, many people picked her to reach the finals. BPR catches up with Christina, aka Kit Pistol, to get her take on the experience:
BPR: Hi Kit! You were a joy to watch this season and developed a big fan base. Any message you would like to share with your supporters?
KP: THANK YOU!!! I am so grateful for all the support from everyone who has contacted me and came up to me on the street... the positivity is truly rewarding.
BPR: How did you ever come up with the name Kit Pistol?
KP: Well, I was working at a bar in Florence, Italy and always wore this gun necklace I got at Agent Provocateur, so I got the nickname 'Miss Pistol'. My friends and I all had weird nicknames for each other. I guess you could say we were bored. So one day we decided that Miss Pistol needed a first name to make it sound better and one of my roommates told me that Kit was a nickname for Christina. So Kit Pistol was formed and the deal was sealed. I showed my senior collection under the name Kit Pistol! It just stuck.

Here's EW's weekly auf interview with Kit Pistol where she calls herself the "ghost designer of Season 4". Thanks Frank!
Jeffrey Sebelia gives his thoughts on the Season 4 designers to Between The Lines: Everyone takes them self so seriously. I think people are very self-conscious. And they're afraid of being judged. And they're afraid of how they're gonna be viewed. And they're afraid of how they're gonna be portrayed. And then they just come out afraid, in my opinion.
The Toronto Star catches up with PR Canada designer Kendra Francis.
No regrets, Ms. Scarbo. It's obvious that you managed to compete in a talented field of designers and still gather those two suitcases full of friends. You never participated in drama when confronted with a team challenge but instead stayed focused and on task even when leading others with differing aesthetics from your own. You seemed to respect your competitors and those feelings were clearly reciprocated. Your designs, such as your Kit Kat dress, were youthful, infused with sly wit and your runway presentations were always expertly styled. You had a knack of expressing a clear point-of-view without being predictable. You have left us wanting more of you and your clever designs. We will now be on the lookout for your garments because, thanks to this show, we have been introduced to your work but we are even more grateful that we got to know you and to watch you create.
This post is only for positive words about Kit Pistol or her work. If you have reactions about any other designers, please leave them in the Reactions post here.
Daniel Vosovic weighs in on Season 4 at New York Magazine: “I’m still waiting for that really big, wow moment,” he said. The show was better, he insisted, back in the old days. “Everyone now is so damn professional. I want that young, raw talent where it’s more of a risk.” Thanks Jill!
Nick Verreos gets us all verklempt in this great interview with De novo Magazine: ...my fans are so great, so supportive, always wanting to know what I am up to, when I am doing my next line, etc. I would love to thank them from the bottom of my “Uncle Nick” heart for all their outstanding support, even through two other seasons. Trust me, a lot of people around me told me “You only have 13 minutes left on your fifteen minutes…” and here I am TWO YEARS later. It’s thanks to them. Thanks Andrew!
