Video - Zulema Griffin, Fall '08 Collection

Fashion Week Begins!

This is a big day in NYC as Fashion Week kicks off, and Project Runway is right in the thick of it.

Did you know it is National Wear Red Day? Heidi Klum is helping kick off American Heart Month this morning as a runway model for the Red Dress Collection 2008, part of The Heart Truth awareness campaign for women about heart disease.

Victorya Hong didn't let her recent auffing prevent her from debuting her very own Fall 2008 collection tonight at The Altman Building. Check out this interview with her PR rep on the challenges of putting this show together. BPR has a couple of ace field reporters on hand for this show - stay tuned!

Tune in to Zulema Griffin's MySpace Sunday, February 3rd beginning at 9:00 a.m. as she shows her collection online. We think this is a great idea and expect to see more of it in the future.

On an unrelated note, we noticed that there is call out for stand ins at Parsons to help set up the Project Runway studio. Now what might be going on there? Hmmmm.....

Wednesday Mail

Here we are on a lovely Wednesday smack in the middle of a new season of Project Runway. So why are we so depressed? Oh, yeah. Nevermind.

No new episode this evening, but we do have some mail to share:

BPR reader Thereza sends along the above photo from Valentino's couture show at Milan Fashion Week. She asks: Team Fierce or Valentino?

Don't miss this great interview at Newsday with Jillian Lewis that shows her at her most humble, honest, likeable self.

Looks like SJP loved her Project Runway experience so much, she wants to get in on the action herself!

Here's an interview at Bluefly with Zulema Griffin who plans to debut her new collection.......on YouTube!
