Nick Verreos of "Project Runway"
Beverly Hills People catches up with Nick and Andrae Gonzalo at Alpha Male on Melrose where they give us their opinion of the past season of Project Runway.
We also interview Jody Whatley at the same event about her latest CD release.
As usual, Alexander McQueen forfeited his right to a simple catwalk presentation and this season placed his audience in a Lewis Carroll-esque Wonderland. On a giant chessboard, models acted as human chess pieces in a show that couldn't fail to promote the designer as one of the world's most talented.
After all, if a man can create costumes with such vivid imagination and true mastery, how can he fail when he puts his mind to beautiful, wearable clothes?
