Whenever I watch Project Runway, I’m always the most excited to see the last episode. Not because I’m always super interested to see who wins the show, but more because I am dying to see the models strut down the runway in gorgeous clothes. There’s something about Fashion Week in New York that makes me crave new clothes more than usual.
Although I’m a fan of all kinds of designers, there’s something particularly special about seeing some of our culture’s best stylists new fashions.
