Gretchen Jones S/S 2012

Gretchen Jones debuted her Spring/Summer 2012 collection earlier today to an enthusiastic crowd in Chelsea. Seen here with Season 8 alum Kristin Haskins Simms, Gretchen featured very wearable separates and summer dresses with an urban cowgirl feel. The models were displayed in a straight police lineup, allowing for ample focus on her self-designed jewelry. Click here for a photo slideshow from WWD.

Congratulations Gretchen!

Team BPR in NYC

Team BPR has arrived in NYC for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week and we have a weekend filled with Project Runway coverage for you. The main event of course is tomorrow's Season 9 finale, where we expect to see 9 designers show after tonight's elimination. We will be live blogging from inside the tent and attempt to run a live chat room as well.


Earlier this afternoon, I ran into Gretchen Jones and her S8 friend Kristin Haskins Simms at Gretchen's S/S 2012 presentation. More from that show coming up later.

It's an exciting time for Project Runway fans and there is tremendous buzz in the air - stay tuned!
