Dayton’s ‘Project Runway’ runner up preparing to sell collection
What do you do after “Project Runway”?
If you are Oakwood High School graduate Althea Harper you continue to work hard.
Harper is preparing to sell her spring/summer collection.
“Everything is going to start being for sale in February on my website,” said Harper, who placed second on the Lifetime fashion design reality show. “I have a lot on my plate.”
The University of Cincinnati School of Design grad said she is still happy with the collection she showed in Bryant Park during the 2008 Fall New York Fashion Week.
The season finale with her 13 piece collection air Thursday, Nov. 19.
The futuristic collection reflected the economic times, said Harper.
Harper says she was also happy with how she was depicted, but regrets seeming a little bratty at one point when she criticized another designer.
She said the tension between her and season winner Irina Shabayeva was also played up during the show’s editing process.
“I really wasn’t trying to get into a girl fight with this girl,” Harper said. “I was trying to stick up for myself.”
