I am a hUge Project Runway fan. On Saturday night, I attended Leanne Marshall's runway show and I found myself captivated the entire time. Leanne is on my "top 5" list of most talented designers on the show. I made the prediction that she'd win at the start of season 5, when I saw her innovative response to the first challenge, and she did! I have a document to prove it (Download Scorecard). After the show, I had a few moments to talk with Leanne. Here is a quote from her about the inspiration for this collection.
"The collection is inspired by a font. Back, when I was a graphic designer,
I would occasionally stumble across a font that I fell in love with. Now, I
have created a collection inspired one that has tickled my fancy. There are
other elements of graphic design throughout the collection, and the contrast
of hard/soft and masculine/feminine as inspired by the font. Absolutely
everything was created using eco-friendly materials and sustainable methods."
I can only use my favorite word to describe what I saw, love.
