Welcome to the Bravo.com interview stage.
I'm Kate Chastain and I am here right now
with Bravo TV fashion Royalty.
No, I'm not talking about Captain Lee.
I am here with Christian Siriano from Project Runway.
Welcome yeah, you look gorgeous and pink this morning.
Thank you.
You matched the set.
I did that on purpose.
Would you say it's lavender?
Maybe it is a little lavender expert.
Yeah I have another question for you.
You're my tulip.
Lavender tulip. I like that.
We're going to call Pantone after that.
Yeah, let's call them.
So you're my first interview today?
Yeah you have no shoes on?
I have two options.
Do I go, like, cool, casual sneakers with a dress?
I feel like that's a no.
Or amazing gold heels.
I mean, I just think it's bravocon.
You're all dressed up, you got glam.
Let's just keep it the glam.
OK, I agree.
That's for what I'm running around.
Yeah, yeah, that's what running around.
That's like grabbing coffee on your break.
Yes, Yes.
Seats for glamour, seeing all the fun events and panels I've
bought in here.
It's like you get your steps in.
So this is my first time meeting you.
But I'm a long time viewer and fan.
I've loved Project Runway forever.
You are show.
It is such a great show.
20 seasons I know is anything you can
spill about this new season.
20 seasons?
I don't know.
Nina is just as Nina as ever, which is genius.
We have some really, really amazing guest judges.
What else is great?
I think it's a really so far we're
literally filming right now, so I'm there every single day.
It's been really fun.
The designers are really talented this season.
I think like the things that they've been making
are kind of unreal, really surprising even for me.
Avant Garde fun.
We haven't gotten to that challenge yet.
Oh, it's still a challenge.
Yeah, it's still a challenge, of course.
So it's day three of bravocon.
What have you enjoyed so far this weekend?
I have enjoyed the TikTok madness that I've
been watching from afar.
This is first day here and I'm watching.
It's so amazing to see how many people just love these shows.
It's awesome. It's really cool.
There's a lot of love in the room.
There sure is. I mean, it's morning.
You're my first interview, so it still filling up,
but it gets hectic.
I mean, it's 10:00 AM and it is busy bumping buzzing.
So what time do people sleep?
Everybody get up early.
Everybody has kids, and they up early, you know?
Have you been out partying at all this weekend?
I had a wedding last night.
Really? literally.
I left a wedding at 1:00 AM to be here this morning.
So we're like a little like I don't really know where I am
and the lights, but it's great.
So exciting.
Did you like the bride's dress?
It was OK.
Did you design it?
No speaking of fashion, you.
Oh, God. What if she watches it?
It was pretty.
Yeah, it was so gorgeous.
It was. It was pretty.
It was so gorgeous.
Yeah let's talk about some of the bravocon fashion.
What are some trends you're seeing here from the talent
and from the fans?
The talent, like I just saw a lot of Housewives.
We're doing a Housewife fashion runway
competition in a little bit.
I don't know if it's a competition,
but it's a runway show. We're going to judge it.
Always a competition. It's always.
Yeah, it is.
And let me tell you, they are in couture.
It's 950.
And I was like, wow, they're dressed.
So that's really fun to see.
And then I feel like everybody around I don't know,
everybody kind of is dress like I've seen a lot of like women
like really and men really dressed up.
I've noticed the power suit.
The neon power suit seems to be a big hitter this weekend.
Wow I mean, this morning, everyone's
a little more casual.
I'm looking around because it's sun three.
They're exhausted.
They've seen a lot of sequins.
We've seen it all.
So I think, you know, it's like a little
more throw on your cute little jeans and a little white top.
You know, I'm seeing a lot of drapes.
She's in a cool suit with, like, thigh high boots.
That's cute.
10:00 AM.
Girl, you're going to do it all day.
Bringing it looks good.
So, tinsley, Mortimer and Heather Dubrow
have both worn your designs?
Oh, Yeah.
What's another Housewife you would love to dress?
My gosh, I like that for reunion.
Like, I like a Housewife that pays, and that's exciting.
So if a Housewife writes a check and buys a dress,
they are welcome.
So anyone, anyone, anyone who, anyone,
anyone who can write a track.
Right who asks for freebies?
Anyone can you tell us name names?
Nobody don't know.
I don't know anyone.
We don't know.
We don't know them.
I don't answer the email.
Thank God they don't make it to you.
So you just opened your collective in westport?
Yeah, I just opened a beautiful, beautiful new store
in Westport, Connecticut.
So if anybody's from Connecticut, come visit us
or if you live near it.
It's a beautiful store.
Of course it is.
You got to come.
High fives are invited to do you see a Real Housewives
of Westport of the future?
You know, it could be let me tell you,
the women are wild in Westport.
They're a little more it's like they're reserved
for like the first 45 minutes.
And then the last 45 minutes.
They're not, you know, how do you think the Westport
Housewife would dress like?
What's their style?
Is it very preppy?
Is it?
My thing is Westport is kind of a linen.
It's a little bit of AI don't know.
I would say they all have boats, so it's a little yeah,
they own a lot of Yacht.
Right so it is a little nautical esque
but like with a fabulous shoe.
Right so that's cute. That is cute.
Yeah all right.
I like that vibe, your own style.
How would you say it has evolved since your first season
on project runway?
Well, my well, when I was a contestant, I mean,
I was 20 years old when I auditioned for the show.
Right I mean, I'm now almost 37, but I was a baby
and I just was an extra because I had just left London.
I lived in London, so I wore really quirky, weird things.
I mean, I still try to bring a look,
but it's a little more easy, right?
But also, I make clothes all day long.
You know, we're working. Oh, my God.
I'm so sick of looking at clothes.
I can't.
Do you kind of have a uniform that you just go?
Yeah, Black on Black. Black out Black.
Yeah, that's it.
It's simple.
We we have a little game to play with you.
OK, I'm ready.
You're so good at this.
Thank you.
I'm really honest winging it.
You're really on it.
Well, Thank you so much.
I don't know what's happening. I don't know where you're doing.
Amazing the time has come for you
to share your truth about the Real Housewives Project Runway.
Let's play.
OK runway or run away.
Runway or run away.
Do I get a thing you do?
Here's your thing, OK God got it.
Runway run away.
Yes this is from when the Housewives
appeared on Project Runway.
I remember OK.
I bet you remember.
It was a rough day.
A long night.
They're going to show.
Here we go.
We have.
Oh, I listen, I kind of like this.
I thought she looked she just didn't want to wear a jumpsuit.
She really wanted to wear a dress.
But I did think that she looked pretty.
I like that. She didn't include the scarf.
I remember. I watched.
Yes Yeah. This was the right move.
Yeah, Yeah.
Like she looks cool, but the pants
are bad enough that if your feet are together,
it could be a dress.
It could be a could look exactly like a long skirt.
Her boobs are kind of popping out, so we need a bigger cup,
but it looks good.
OK, we're going to go the next one.
This is Leia requesting a sexy Disney princess.
Oh, my God.
I OK.
I will say on camera the maybe wasn't perfect,
but in person it is stunning.
Divine it was divine.
And she looked just like Milky and goddesses cereal,
you know, in Leah's fabulous.
Yeah I mean, she wear anything.
She does wear anything. She really does.
Day one she was wearing those chaps.
Yeah and looked amazing.
Yeah she goes for whatever.
Now we have Giselle's Barbie court jumpsuit.
Yeah, this was OK.
This was like, I don't know if it's like it's like a here,
you know, when it's like in between the color was
stunning, gorgeous, gorgeous.
The fit was the bodice is beautiful.
You know, it's a Little Miss America, which is fine.
Well, she liked it so much, she ended up having
that designer do her reunion.
Look OK.
The same address. Very similar.
Very similar.
OK next we have Karen's long Black gown.
OK I actually think she looked really good.
And let me tell you, she's tough.
She is tough.
Tough so in a fitting means I'd be scared.
I'm scared.
I'm an.
OK, it's a runway as well.
I thought they all looked really good.
There were not a lot of Mrs. I'm telling you, I'm being nice.
Don't be nice.
OK, let's see.
Let's go to G pointy shoulder pad top.
Well, that was a run away.
Yeah I know.
And the problem was that it was we tried and tried.
I will say that is AI will say like right now at bravocon.
That would be a cool look.
Sure Yeah.
Just not for this.
Not for a reunion.
No, it's over the top for sure.
There's no beating.
They only wear beating on sequins.
Anything shiny, anything shiny?
Beading is a requirement.
Oh, OK.
Now we have Shannon's reunion dress made by bones.
Oh, this was drama.
I know.
I'm going to say, you know, it just.
I was OK cute.
Listen, this is the thing.
