Yes, I have met with Michael Kors and discussed his offer, but in the end he couldn't seem to find a place that he felt I fit...hmmmhmmm... In the end that's fine, but I wish he wouldn't have offered if he wasn't going to try to pull a few more strings. C'est la vie. Nevertheless, I've been keeping myself afloat with taking on some other very fun/exciting offers!
For one, I've been asked to design the outfits for this new urban chic chain of hotels called NYLO. It's a great mass market/high fashion collaboration, and with groundbreaking on the first one this summer it's not only going to be great to see something tangible in a few months... but for years from now!
I've also been brought on as a new member of the BRAVO team to have among other things, my own weekly blog! A new venue to dish on weekly chaos here in NYC, crazy situations I find myself in, and most importantly - fashion!!! Must-Haves, Top 10 lists, secret finds and oh so much more! We're in the preliminary stages but we should be launching June or so. Oh, and I'm also going to be doing a similar thing for OutZonetv.com, but aimed slightly more towards my boys... not that Project Runway OR BRAVO is all that straight. Haha!
There are a few additional projects on my plate, as well as some more appearances around the country in the works, but I will try to send updates as they become solidified. Thank you all once again for the overwhelming support and interest in not only Project Runway, but it's designers as well. Oh, and I was talking to my mother earlier this afternoon, and because of my sporadic schedule she told me that she actually gets more updates about me from BPR than she does from my own mouth! (SORRY MOM, I'll try to call more often!) So thank you BPR for keeping my family informed!
Take care everyone and rest assured that PR3 is well underway and awaiting your viewing!
Sincerely yours,
Daniel V xx
