Michelle Lesniak Shows During Stars of Project Runway

We just can’t get enough of this talented chick! We got to catch up with the ingenious designer after the Stars of Project Runway Fashion Show who with her infectious personality and demeanor filled us in on the deets regarding her amazing collection. Michelle said her designs were inspired by hot air balloons which was a sort of symbolism of her life and falling back. We loved the details of ropes and tassels that brought Michelle’s vision to life.

Moreover, the swim-wear had us at hello and love at first sight due to the high-waisted bottoms that are simply perfection when hiding problem areas. The retro yet modern vibe of the swimsuits had us dreaming of a Dorthy Dandridge/Marilyn Monroe summer with a contempo twist. From start to finish Michelle Lesniak’s show had us crying tears of fashion joy.

Have you seen Victoria’s Secret’s new swim catalog yet? You may of noticed something a little different. Nine gorgeous supermodels share the cover that is the catalog’s first fold out. Lais Ribiero and Sharam Diniz grace the momentous cover along with: Josephine Skriver, Monika Jac Jagaciak, Behati Prinsloo, Candice Swanepoel, Andreea Diaconu, Ophelie Guillermand, and Elsa Hosk.

Sports Illustrated always makes a big splash with their yearly Swim cover showcasing a bombshell in a tinsy bikini. Will Victoria’s Secret’s swim cover become just as popular? Only time shall tell, but we have to admit from a business standpoint there is no going wrong. Vickie’s move to put more emphasis on swimwear is an excellent due to recent reports that the swimwear industry shall reach $17.6 billion dollars in revenue this year.

Back to the cover, it is always nice to see stunning black models being representatives of beauty for our community as well as the globe. Cheers to Lais Ribiero as well as Sharam Diniz for getting another cover and we can’t wait to see more from these lovelies this year.
