Cosa Nostra by Jeffrey Sebelia

When last season's Project Runway began, I don't think there were many people who thought that resident heel, Jeffrey Sebelia would become the winner. But in the end it was Sebelia's feminine yet dramatic pieces that the Runway judges loved. I'm a fan of Project Runway, and of course I was rooting for Michael, but I must admit that Jeffrey's final designs were clearly the best. His slinky tops, sharp jackets, and stovepipe jeans were extremely feminine considering they were designed by someone whose personal style was so 'punk.' And according to a recent article in Elle Magazine, that's just the way that Jeffrey wanted it. "Before the show, I told my girlfriend, 'I want people to hate me, and then I want to make stuff that will sway their opinion of me,'" says Sebelia in Elle. Jeffrey claims that he planned his every move on Runway, before he got on the show. He intended for his pieces to begin dark and moody, and eventually become colorful and structured. "I decided to go dark and unconstructed with the first challenge, and then, as we went along, use a little more color or make it more precious." As for Jeffrey's future, he plans to use his winnings from Runway ($100,000) to expand his already established clothing label, Cosa Nostra. He also plans to open a boutique in West Hollywood.
