Project Runway AMA
The dust has settled from her double-run on Project Runway and the famed Peloton collaborator is ready to spill the tea! Brittany Allen posted an AMA on Instagram and her answers didn’t disappoint.
In her initial introduction post, Allen talks about how she was cut off from the outside world for 9 weeks. Fans have always wondered if contestants have access to the internet/phones during filming and the answer is: no! Brittany was ‘committed to the task at hand’ and had her husband hold down the fort with her personal brand.
Fans of fashion were instantly curious about the technical process, asking Brittany about the timeline of the challenges and whether or not contestants are given any ‘help’ like slopers or premade patterns. The Project Runway star makes it clear that nothing is designed to make the process easier for the cast.
When it comes to the amount of work is endured, fans don’t even see a sliver of what the designers are actually put through. Brittany says at one point they finished 3 challenges over the course of only 9 days.
Nosy fans then asked some devious questions, like whether or not designers could sneak things in or out. Someone also wanted to know if anyone knew the challenges ahead of time. The answer to both is a strict NO and could even get the contestant disqualified.
Project Runway is currently rumored to be returning to Freeform in the near future. You can follow Brittany Allen and her colorful, unique athletic designs at @brittanyallen.atx or visit her website at shopbrittanyallen.com.
