Q. What made you join the show?
A. Project Runway has been my dream for more than 10 years; I have been watching the show for eight seasons, and every season, I wished I could be on it. Having auditioned for it four times and seeing the response the judges gave me was a boost, almost like a validation. Meanwhile, I became a strong brand here and my clothes were being donned by celebrities all the time. It was a huge risk to participate, considering I am an established designer here, but that didn’t mean I would give up on my dream. Thus, I had to do the show when the opportunity came knocking on my doors, else I would have regretted it all my life.
