Favorite designer from past seasons of Project Runway?

I really enjoyed Austin Scarlett.

"The cast of Dynasty!" How can you not LOVE that?

Aw, that's sweet.


There's no queen like a southern, black queen. He may be a little lacking in some areas (why did we not see any of the pieces hanging on the rack?), but they knew they had a character on their hands. Clearly he can sew and clearly, he's a walking soundbite generator. We like this one. He looks like he's going to be fun. Although to be honest, that whole "I grew up in the ghetto" schtick is gonna get old if he doesn't have the goods to back it up.

And speaking of goods, let's look at his portfolio:


Umm... as far as we can tell, that's it. That's his portfolio. It's not exactly fashion-forward, but it's dramatic and very much in that Dynasty vein that he was talking about.

Oh, who cares? He's gonna be fun. We can tell.
