As a creator of fashion, I celebrate the body that wears my work. There is no correct size, shape, colour, or age. Explaining his love of diversity, Siriano recently told Teen Vogue: “All people are beautiful. Recently I read a quote from Siriano on this subject that made me swoon. The fashion industry is better for him.įrom Left to Right: Elaine Welteroth, Christian Siriano, Aviana, Sonia, Lauren Karaman, Brandon Maxwell, and Karlie Kloss
I’m thrilled this show catapulted him the way that it did. LK: Ohhhh yeah, I’ve been a fan-girl since Siriano’s season. When the happy tears (and the immediate calls to my family) subsided, we kept in 90’s rom-com style and immediately walked to a diner for the most satisfying pancakes of my life.ĬH: Were you a fan of the show previously? When I hung up the phone, they simultaneously screamed before hugging me from either side as I happy-cried on the Upper West Side. Lauren Karaman: In true 90’s rom-com style, I just so happened to be hanging out with my best friend and my boyfriend the moment I got the call from my agent that I was going to be on the show. And, of course, I got the inside scoop on Project Runway– freshly re-branded and back on Bravo for 2019! Below are excerpts from our conversation:Ĭhloe Hyman: What was it like getting the news that you’d be a regular model on Project Runway? You must have been SO excited! Talking to her made me think that the energy I put towards ranting about Victoria’s Secret could be put to better use supporting inclusive brands and celebrating beautiful bodies wherever I see them. She’s a breath of fresh air in a toxic media landscape cluttered with photoshopped glossies and spreads about juice cleanses.
#Project runway season 19 models names plus
I sat down with Karaman to chat about her experience as a plus size model in the fashion industry. Oh, and she’s currently a regular on a little show you may have heard of– Project Runway. She has appeared in Glamour Magazine and Refinery 29. She has modeled for Target and Ellos and co-directs a body positive photography project. Lauren Karaman is many things: a model, an actress, a singer, a creative director, and an activist.
