The UB Interview: Prajjé Oscar Talks ‘Project Runway All-Stars’

The first-ever “Project Runway All-Stars” premiered in June, with a new episode airing tomorrow August 17 at 8/7c on Bravo.

The Emmy Award-winning competition series that started it all returned to the workroom with mentor Christian Siriano along with judges Nina Garcia, Brandon Maxwell and Elaine Welteroth. Fourteen of the most beloved designers from across 19 seasons are given one last shot to change their life forever with a career-defining win.

The All-Stars put it all on the line for a chance at redemption in a high-stakes season full of surprises and a twist that changes the game.

Each 90-minute episode features challenges that test their artistry and push their limits, including an unconventional challenge that takes everyone by surprise.

Throughout the All-Stars season, fashion lovers have seen the designers sketch, erase and resketch their creations thanks to Pilot FriXion Erasable Pens, the returning Official Grand Prize partner who will award $250,000 to the winning designer. Additionally, they’re competing for a career-changing mentorship with the CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) and a feature in Elle magazine.

Prajjé Oscar Jean Baptiste, a Haitian-born designer, showcased his uniquely painted garments and avant-garde style during his debut in Season 19. Since then, he has been making strides with his high-end clothing company under his eponymous label. He loves designing intricate and colorful clothing that harkens back to the vintage glamour era. His new collection, inspired by his Haitian roots, pays homage to the elegant women who raised him.
