Project Runway Designers Visit SoCal Desert

Fashion and reality television collided in a good way at Fashion Week El Paseo in Palm Desert last week. The most anticipated runway show featured six former Project Runway competitors, with Coachella Valley resident and Project Runway alum Michael Costello the brightest star. Costello was instrumental in lining up the designers, along with Palm Springs Life Magazine Fashion Editor Susan Stein. Participating with Costello were Mila Hermanovski, Seth Aaron, Joshua Christensen, Michael Drummond, Gordana Gehlhausen.

The designers wowed the standing room only crowd at the runway show with their original collections.

Costello is always a favorite with his local peeps, and he didn't disappoint with his signature draping and sleek designs.

Designer Seth Aaron's collection was audacious with his punk sensability, 50's French style theme, and pop art inspired fabrics.



Possibly the most fun of the entire week was the Project Runway trunk show where fans and fashionistas had an opportunity to browse the collections, try on pieces, meet the designers and have one-on-one consultations.

Business was brisk for most of the designers as a steady stream of customers packed the tent, trying on pieces and being measured for orders.

Costello catered to new and old customers, many pleasantly surprised by his reasonable prices.
