Top Three Collections Will Go Home with the Highest Bidder at ProjectRunway.com
SAN FRANCISCO, October 14, 2008 – While Season Five of Bravo’s Emmy-nominated hit series “Project Runway” continues to hold its position as a pop culture phenomenon, ProjectRunway.com is giving fans the chance to take home a piece of show history through exclusive online auctions. Immediately following this season’s finale, viewers will be able to bid on original pieces from the collections of all six top contestants as seen during the big Bryant Park showdown – including the three final collections and three decoy collections – with a portion of the proceeds benefiting a charity to be determined. Collections that will auctioned off include those of contestants, Jerell Scott, Stephen “Suede” Baum, Joe Faris, Kenley Collins, Korto Momolu and Leanne Marshall. In the meantime, fans can also try to nab one of the competitor’s actual creations featured in each weekly challenge.
Weekly auctions will continue to kick off immediately after each show airs at 10 p.m. EST and run for one week. Leading up to the season finale auction, ProjectRunway.com will also put original sketches the designers produced for each challenge up for bid.
Those who don’t win a designer piece or nab an original sketch from the auctions can still “make it work” by picking up an official Tim Gunn talking bobblehead. This 7.5” tall version of everyone’s favorite fashion mentor encourages Project Runway fans and aspiring designers to “carry on” for just $24.95.
While shopping the site, fans can also be the first to see exclusive show-related content such as the designer’s audition videos, candid behind-the-scenes photos, and blogs giving the inside details of each designer’s winning – and losing – looks. Expert style tips from guest judges, exclusive never-aired footage, Heidi’s jewelry line, and books authored by the famous judging panel round out the ProjectRunway.com experience.
