Eastern Europe reprezent, y'all!

Gordana Gehlhausen
Age: 45
Birthplace: Yugoslavia
Current Home: San Diego, CA
Favorite Designers: John Galliano
Style Icon: Grace Kelly
Favorite Past Project Runway Designers: Uli Herzner, Season 3

Originally from former Yugoslavia, Gordana grew up in a small Serbian Village in Bosnia. She has always been very creative and had a unique style of dress, knitting her first sweater when she was only seven years old. Gordana attended college in Germany, earning a Linguistics degree before she moved to Atlanta, GA. There, she fine-tuned her design skills by creating a children’s line and later moved to Charleston, SC, where she opened her first women’s boutique, GOGA. While still maintaining her store in South Carolina, Gordana recently relocated to San Diego and opened her second women’s wear boutique, GOGA by Gordana, featuring her own designs.

Why she’ll win?
Gordana believes she will win because she works hard and won’t ever quit.

Tim Gunn: [Expect a lot of] "textile development. It wouldn't be a case of going shopping and using the fabric she brought back. She'd do things to it."

TimSpeak: She's a spitter.

We have no idea what she's going to be like, but what's not to love about a 45 year old proudly wearing hotpants - AND LOOKING PRETTY DAMN GOOD IN THEM?

Portfolio:

Nice. Some very pretty looks. And we can see what Tim meant about "doing things" to fabric.






Oh, darlings. Expect lots of Boris and Natasha jokes from us this season. She's fun, though. She can walk the walk and talk the talk. She really knows how to defend and define her work and she's got a real take-no-shit attitude that we're going to enjoy seeing go up against Nina.
