Tim Gunn at The Baltimore Book Festival

Thank you Danielle, for your awesome field report and photos from Baltimore.

In his speech, Tim mentioned that the crowd was the largest yet to turn out for one of his appearances, and he was very genuine in his expression of gratitude. He spoke about the history of the book and its natural evolution into the "Tim Gunn's Guide to Style" show. Then he dished a bit about behind-the-scenes moments at Project Runway 4 and his own show, and answered fashion questions from audience members. He was charming, funny, witty and altogether wonderful.

BPR at Studio EMc2

My husband and I visited Emmett's studio on the last day of our trip to New York. It was the first time I had seen it and I was really impressed.

Emmett's co-designer, Erin was there to greet us and gave us a quick tour of the space. They are working on the EMc2 Holiday line and had a couple of sample garments made up. I didn't want to reveal these too soon!

The purple party dress is several layers of silk with a vintage-inspired piping detail. Here is a close-up of the front bodice:



And here is the back:


The next two would be great for New Year's Eve. The dress on the left is white with metallic silver and the dress on the right is a little bit stretchy with a metallic gold thread in the fabric.



It was really fun to see the actual workspace where Emmett and Erin design the garments for the EMc2 collection. Thank you both for your kindness and hospitality.

Spoiler Alert

As most of you know, we have a strict "no spoiler" policy at BPR. But so many of you are writing in about the story in this morning's New York Daily News that we are going to provide the link in the hopes that those who don't want to see it can avoid it in the comments.

Again, please do not put links or spoilers in your comments. The show is much more fun if you don't know what's going to happen. This article contains several potential spoilers regarding Season 4, so you've been warned. For those still curious, here it is.
