Jeffrey Sebelia wins Project Runway
On the third season of "Project Runway," Jeffrey Sebelia experienced some of the highest highs and the lowest lows. When his garments were on, he won challenges. When they were off, he was inches away from being sent home. Jeffrey's lowest point on the show came only days before his highest point. He was almost unable to show his line at Fashion Week due to his opponents' suspicions that he had cheated. But despite all that, last night Jeffrey was made the show's winner. Sebelia, who took the crown of season three bad boy (at least after Keith Michael was kicked off), went into the show hoping to be disliked. He said, "I wanted people to be mad at me, like, 'Who is this idiot?'…Then I wanted to change their minds with the stuff that I made throughout the show." And indeed, it was his clothes and not his personality that ensured that host Heidi Klum would tell Jeffrey, "You're in." Jeffrey began taking fashion classes after he got over a serious substance abuse problem. He says, "As soon as I started sewing. I realized I was meant to do it." The 36-year-old designer already has a label of clothing, Cosa Nostra, available for sale in Los Angeles, but he hopes to expand. "I want to be a real force in fashion," he says. His $100,000 in prize money and his spread in Elle magazine should help make that dream a reality, especially given his undeniable talent. Tim Gunn, who serves as an advisor to the contestants, told People magazine, "[Jeffrey's like another Vivienne Westwood. He's adept at taking what's happening on the street and making it into fashion with a capital F." |
