Project Runway....Project Sukara

Austin and Santino are in Chicago promoting their show, On The Road With Austin and Santino (www.lifetime.com/austinsantino) and doing some local runway shows. This evening they had a show at Block 37, and I went to check it out. I was fortunate enough to meet them and get some feedback from them about my designs. They loved the dress that I was wearing Scarlet, which is one of my designs and can be purchased here: www.SukaraSterling.com --Austin made a great point and said.....it is great to wear from day to night! He went on to say, you could do a more casual look during the day and pair it with flats, colorful tights and a blazer--and for night change the flats to some sleek edgy heels and remove the tights and blazer. I agree!!!! Great fashion advice Austin!

I watched both of their project runway episodes. My favorite design from Austin was his cornhusk dress he made for the grocery store challenge--I also loved all the capes he wears, so cute!

Santino was also a favorite of mine because all his garments are flawless and so beautiful. I was so sad when he didn't win, but he did get runner up--he should have won! He also made me laugh with his jokes on the show, He does the best Tim Gunn impressions.

I must say I have not watched their current show, On The Road With Austin and Scarlet--They are a great duo. Austin speaks the fashion language very elegantly and Santino makes jokes.....they complement each other well...I might just have to start now :)
