Project Runway Style--Designs from the new season's designers of Bravo's "Project Runway"--Television Critics Association Winter 2019 Press Tour, Langham Huntington Hotel Pasadena

Last year, I was made a Consultant and Producer (!) of the NEW "Project Runway" returning to Bravo and I was extremely honored and excited to be part of the production team in making the new-and-improved "Project Runway" the best it can be (more on that in a later post!)...

I was doubly honored when Bravo TV recently contacted me with a great opportunity: For the launch of the new season, they wanted to showcase outfits/looks from the NEW SEASON'S designers at the Television Critics Association Winter 2019 Press Tour, where they would officially launch the show.

The TCA Press Tour is where TV critics from all over the world converge to be introduced to the cast of the latest TV shows. In a panel setting, the critics get to ask questions and it is used as a way to launch new (or re-vamped) TV shows, such as "Project Runway"...

First, I was tasked--with the ever-so-trusty help of my better half, David Paul--to contact many of this new season's designers and have them mail to me designs from their "repertoire" (NOT from designs they created on the new season!). Then, I had to gather 10+ dress forms/display mannequins to show the designs (in varying sizes) and then, of course, get them all steamed, pressed and ready to be displayed to flank the new cast of the show--including Host and Judge Karlie Kloss, Mentor Christian Siriano and Judges Nina Garcia, Brandon Maxwell and ElaineWelteroth.

After we were done onstage, we moved the dress forms over to a holding area where David and I prepped the looks beforehand. I decided to stage a mock "Gallery Exhibition" photo shoot since this room was so fabulous. This Langham Hotel meeting room was called the Georgian Ballroom and was very old-school; harking back to the grand old Hollywood Glamour days...I could just imagine the 50's movie stars in their Jacques Fath couture, drinking their Martinis and smoking their cigarettes in it. Here are those photos:

At the end...
It's a Wrap!--All the dress forms/mannequins in the trunk of car...and in case you were wondering, I have a back-up camera!
