For the 3rd year in a row Suite 34 has continued their success with Project Runway a showcasing event where designers from the city of Ottawa compete their collections for a chance to win a trip for 2 to New York City.
This year we have 14 designers competing every Friday for 4 weeks. The winners of each week move on to the final round where the week winners will win a trip to New York City. HOT 89.9 hosts the event and many industry elites are on board as judges.
This week Tanyta Boldon a recent Richard Robinson graduate won the first round.
"Since I can remember I always would sew my Barbies clothes," she proudly states. Her innovative style has her creating garments from already built garments. She takes a pair of pants and make them into a one sleeve jersey grey fitted dress. "This was a dress", she points to a encrusted lace corset with matching hoodie. All her pieces conjunct in the most glamorous and visionary way, she has a gleaming corset which model Naomi Asha wears with pride and grace. The gold glistening dress with matching black sating shrug top piece, makes model Aysha feel like the sexxi diva she is.
It was no surprise Miss Tanyta captured the night and had the banging aspect to back it up. She is excited for the finales, revamped and ready for what the world has to bring. "I want an empire, a fashion house, I wanna be a mogul," she tells me while glisping at the sky for a unnoticeable second where she invisions her dream unravel.
With all this down her belt at the tender age of 20, I believe Tanyta's fashion house just opened up for business!
