Rebecca & Mariano (picture from ProjectRunwayla.com)
Well, now that the cat is out of the bag its safe for me to say, Miami International University of Art & Design is playing host to the second season ( who knew there was a first) of Project Runway Latin America. Well after nine seasons it’s about time Latin America has jumped on the Project Runway bandwagon and what a better place to host the sophomore season than Miami. Filming has started July 11th at the famed Miami International University of Art & Design. Ai is the Parsons of the southeast. Graduates have gone on to become some of the top fashion industry player in the industry. It makes sense that PRLA chose Ai to host its show since Miami is a melting pot of latin culture and is quickly becoming a fashion capitol. Coming back as host is model and tv host Rebecca de Alba. You might actually know Rebecca not so much from her professional life, but her personal life. She was the famed long-term “girlfriend” of NOW out Ricky Martin. Mentoring the 15 finalist, which have come from all over South America, is the wonderful Argentinian designer, Mariano Toledo. Catch up on last season’s winner HERE. Also catch up with them on Twitter and Facebook. I will try and bring you first hand info right from the source ( did I forget to mention I GO to the Art Institute). Till then, i bid adieu.
