Knowing how to start a fire is one of the important survival skills every person should know. Fire is good for a number of things. Use it to cook food and boil water, provide light and warmth, keep wild animals and critters away, and signal for help. These are just the main use of fire in survival situations. Since we're talking about emergency situations, it's best if you can start your fire as fast as you can. This is where fire starters come in.
As great a skill it is to start a fire with sticks or rocks, it's better to have fire starters on hand if time is of the essence. Don't settle for low-quality fire starters. Below are ten of the top fire starters in the market right now.
Top Fire Starters: Lighters
You probably know by now that lighters are one of the most common and top fire starters there is. However, not all lighters are meant for roughing it out or for emergency situations. While you can always pack ordinary lighters in your bug out bags or emergency kits, it would be better if you have the more durable kinds that work despite harsh conditions. You need lighters that also count as some of the top fire starters in the industry.
Tesla Lighter
Named after the brilliant scientist, the Tesla Lighter is one of the top fire starters around. It is supposedly based on one of Nikola Tesla's designs, particularly the one revolving around free energy. The Tesla lighter provides "energy on demand" as it can start a fire without fuel. Amazingly, it also doesn't produce flame or smoke.
The Tesla lighter uses its Twin Engine feature to produce plasma arcs that are responsible for creating fire. This lightweight survival tool is also 100% windproof and will create a spark even when wet. Perhaps even more interesting about this high-tech lighter is that it is rechargeable.
Top Fire Starters: Ferrocerium Rod Fire Starter
A ferrocerium rod or ferro rod is different from a magnesium fire starter, as explained here. A Ferro rod is made of metals including iron, magnesium, cerium, lanthanum, neodymium, and praseodymium. To use a ferro rod, you have to scrape off the black protective coating first before striking the silver part inside.
Ferro rods light faster than other fire starters and work well when used with char cloth, cotton balls with petroleum jelly, and waxed cotton pads. One of its drawbacks is that it only produces hot sparks, which could be a waste if used in a small pile of tinder.
Gerber Bear Grylls Fire Starter
Bear Grylls is a popular survivalist and TV celebrity with his own line of survival gear. His fire starter, produced with Gerber, also happens to be one of the most popular fire starters on the market.
The Gerber Bear Grylls Fire Starter is a set that includes a ferro rod and magnesium stick. That simply means you'll have a better chance of starting a fire and surviving whatever dire situation you are in.
One of the top fire starters, the Bear Grylls Fire Starter comes with an emergency whistle that's integrated into the lanyard, which keeps both tools from being separated. When you twist the end part of the ferro rod's handle, you'll find a little storage compartment for more survival items. The storage space is waterproof so you can even store extra matches in there.
Swiss Safe 5-in-1 Fire Starter
Swiss Safe combines both ferro rod and magnesium stick to make one of the top fire starters around. Each set includes a steel scraper, integrated compass, a 150 DB whistle, and a 450lb 8-core paracord.
The lightweight survival tool weighs only two ounces and measures five inches. Best of all, it is capable of more than 16,000 strikes.
Exotac NanoStrikerXL Ferrocerium Fire Starter
When it comes to everyday carry or EDC, the Exotac NanoStrikerXL Ferrocerium Fire Starter is one of the top fire starters you can get for yourself. You can carry it on your key ring, hang it on your neck, or simply stuff it in your pocket.
The NanoStrikerXL comes with a 1/4-inch ferro rod that's replaceable and still works even when wet. You can use it for up to 3,000 strikes. Not bad for an EDC.
Top Fire Starters: Magnesium Fire Stick
Magnesium fire starters are often used with ferro rods that they're mistaken to be one and the same. While using them together is the best way to produce fire, they can be used separately.
To use a magnesium fire starter, you must use a scraper to get some of the magnesium shavings onto a pile of tinder. The other side is made of ferrocerium metal, which needs to be struck to create sparks. These sparks create fire when they touch the magnesium shavings. To know more about how to use a magnesium fire starter, check this out.
Survival Spark Magnesium Fire Starter
Like most high-quality fire starters, the Survival Spark Magnesium Fire Starter is more than meets the eye. Aside from providing a spark when you need it most, this fire starter also features a number of survival tools such as an integrated compass, a 150 DB emergency whistle, and a lanyard.
The all-weather resistant Survival Spark Magnesium Fire Starter lights up 15,000 times and can withstand wind and cold. In other words, you can depend on it to start a fire whatever your predicament is. The scraper is designed to be long enough to have a better grip so you can create a spark a lot easier. It comes with both a serrated and a flat edge.
Survival Frog Magnesium Fire Starter
The magnesium fire starter from Survival Frog is pretty similar to other top fire starters available right now. For one, you can rely on it to produce fire whenever you need it most. It works even when wet or windy. And like the Survival Spark fire starter, it lasts 15,000 strikes.
This fire starter features two more survival tools, namely a 150-decibel emergency whistle and a compass. It measures only 4.75 x 0.5 inches and weighs only 12.7 ounces making it pretty portable.
SE Outdoor Tanto Knife with Firestarter
Most survivalists prefer a tool that provides a number of functions that are vital to their survival of course. This is why multi-tools have become synonymous with prepping and survivalism. The SE Outdoor Tanto Knife with Firestarter is one much multi-tool.
This survival tool functions mostly as a knife thanks to its full tang stainless steel blade. The three-inch blade has a serrated edge while the handle is wrapped in paracord. It also comes with a magnesium fire starter, which when struck by the blade will help create fire. It comes with a nylon sheath so it's easier to carry everything.

a bit more about
My story
After working in agency-based social work settings (school board, hospital crisis program) for over 16 years, I was searching for a more creative approach to helping others.
Baking, creating art, and being in nature were personal ways I find balance and better mood. In 2020, I was happily surprised to discover evidence-based intervention strategies to integrate these activities with psychotherapy work. Being able to create change with clients, while practicing and using creative activities, is a dream come true.
My goal is to provide an approachable, practical and down-to-earth environment for clients to begin making change in their lives. That is why we strive to make our studio & office feel more like a warm, welcoming coffee shop, versus a sterile feeling clinic.
I take pride in helping clients use creative pathways to feel more calm- with unique approaches that allow clients to practice in session, then hopefully integrate into their lives outside of sessions- (that's where the baking and nature walks come in!).
My hope is that our work together allows clients to feel worthy, more confident, and self-fulfilled, to build better emotion regulation skills, heal past harm, and create more connected relationships with others.
I believe people are the expert of their own lives, value all people regardless of income, age, race, culture, religion, orientation or beliefs- and that my job is simply to bring my experience and training to the table in a real, authentic way. I am honoured to join clients on their journey to making change in their lives.

My story
For over 20 years, I have had the pleasure of supporting children, youth and their families in a variety of settings; through the school board, through coordinating Ministry funded resources for an agency, as well as supporting individuals in a hospital crisis program.
After years of dealing with the goals and demands of government institutions along with its policies and bureaucracies, I am excited to move away from these institutions and support you in the way you wish!
I am known to provide a safe, judgment-free, empathetic environment for those wishing to connect for help. I want you to feel safe and comfortable with me and know that nothing you share will be too much.
I believe you are the expert in your own life and I would be honoured to help empower and support you as you make life changing decisions or just lend a supportive, listening ear.

a bit more about
My story
Having spent my extensive career in both community and hospital based settings throughout Hamilton and Halton, I bring a natural experience of providing support and counselling to adults who are overwhelmed with the stress of life.
My experience includes acute and community healthcare, grief and bereavement, geriatrics, domestic violence, and the Canadian and Provincial social service systems.
When we reach adulthood we are not well prepared for managing the overwhelming feelings that come with raising families, employment, aging parents and grandparents, grown children, health, finances, retirement and any unexpected crisis and loss that may emerge along the way. Sometimes these overpowering feelings can become so large that we need to reach out and find support from someone like myself that can help you find strength, solutions, and calm in an environment that is peaceful and relaxed.
More importantly, a space where you can feel heard and supported while organizing the large feelings that you may be struggling with. I believe that people have the ability to enjoy their lives and appreciate all that they have, but I also know that it can become completely overwhelming over time and it can also become unmanageable in the blink of an eye. Sometimes, it can be just one
more issue that breaks us. My goal is to help you move along this journey by listening to you, respecting your story, and working toward your goals. I appreciate you, your strength, and your courage for starting here.

Amongst the variables that are driving the adoption of ATS solutions are the rising use of social media, as well as the substantial adoption of cloud solutions and security infrastructure, ResearchAndMarkets.com said in a statement.

"The financial market is dominated by males and was constructed with guys in mind, so it's easy to see why males would find it much easier to leverage financial advisors, invest and develop robust foundations," she describes. I was impressed to uncover these ladies deploying characteristics that would seem like they could detract from strong leadership — like introversion, empathy or gratitude — to their benefit. As https://ezalba.co.kr/ worked to motivate frustrated and scared workers and to figure out their subsequent actions, I felt like I was watching a master class in leadership across sectors.

Alena has family roots in Ukraine, was born in the cultural capital city of Russia, St. Petersburg, grew up on the Baikonur Cosmodrome, which is the world's first and largest operational space launch facility in Kazakhstan, and used to live with her husband and two daughters in Belarus before her family won a Green Card Lottery and moved to the United States.
She has master's degree in mathematics & physics. Alena had changed her profession from a teacher to an accountant and worked for more than 5 years as a staff accountant in Belarus, then finally found herself in real estate in Florida, eager to professionally grow and be able to use her mathematics and social skills. Being in different countries and places, having the experience of working with people of different nationalities and cultures, she says the most attractive part of being an agent is meeting new clients and helping them to find the right home in welcoming beautiful Naples, either they live in Naples or other cities, states or countries.

She's one of the most successful artists of the last few decades, with an estimated income of around $25 million per year. It's no wonder that she's able to afford to live a lavish lifestyle and get all the tattoos, body measurements and relationship with rappers she wants. However, not all her success is so positive. After all, she's also been accused of making fake pregnancy claims and of having an affair with the rapper, Meek Mill.
Body measurements
Celina Powell is a famous Instagram star with a huge fan following. She has garnered a lot of attention after releasing a video exposing her sex with Snoop Dogg.
As of 2019, the singer is estimated to have earned between $3 million and $5 million. Her total assets include her home and her earnings from her work on social media.
Celina Powell was born in Denver, CO. She has dark brown hair, a dark complexion and a pair of brown eyes. The actress also has tattoos on her body.

Celina Powell is single. But she has been linked to many rappers and actors. She is also rumored to be dating Dwight Howard and Tee Grizzley. Earlier, she was a rumored partner of Offset, Card-B's significant other.
In December, she got into a fight online with Hazel-E. During the altercation, Hazel-E claimed that Powell was messaging her fiance Devon Waller. Upon hearing the allegations, Powell threatened to expose screenshots of their interactions.
However, Chief Kif and Snoop Dogg denied her allegations. Despite all the rumors, Powell was arrested by bounty hunters in Aurora, Colorado.
Since she was a young girl, Celina Powell has been involved in various controversies. In one instance, she faked her pregnancy. Later on, she admitted to faking it.
Celina Powell has been accused of laying down with a number of celebrities. She has also been implicated in several digital harassment cases.
Relationships with rappers
Celine Powell is an Instagram star, model, and podcast host. She is known for her outspoken style and has been linked to a wide range of hip hop celebrities. This has led to a number of scandals and relationship rumors. In recent years, she has had relationships with several prominent rappers.
Celina Powell is a young woman with a curvy figure and brown eyes. She is also well known for her full lips.
Despite being born in Denver, Colorado, she did not attend college. Her mother was a prostitute. During her childhood, Celina was a troubled child. However, her aunt helped raise her. After attending Wheat Ridge High School, she opened an Instagram account.
Soon after, she became notorious for fabricating stories about alleged sexual exploits with famous musicians. Celina has claimed relationships with rappers such as Offset, Fatboy SSE, The Game, and Lil Pump. But none of these claims were true.
Later in 2017, Powell made another controversial claim about her relationship with Offset. She claimed that he was the father of her baby. That claim was later disproved. Nevertheless, she continued to make headlines over the controversy.
Another rapper caught up in Celina's machinations was Snoop Dogg. The rapper denounced Powell's claims. He also said that the model was chasing clout by using his name.
It was later revealed that the model used her friend's sonogram to bolster her ruse. Cardi B, however, responded to her allegations. Afterward, Powell apologized to Cardi for lying.
Although Celina Powell has denied her relationship with Snoop, she has been romantically linked to a number of other celebrities. Akon, Aaron Carter, Adam22, DJ Akademiks, Kid Buu, Lil Pump, Le'Veon Bell, and Fabolous have all been linked to her in the past.

It's not unusual for celebrities to get into fake pregnancies, but Powell has taken it to a new level. To prove her sex claims, she borrowed a friend's ultrasound and doctored it up. And she wasn't the only one.
The other dud is the claimed paternity test. But this isn't the first time Powell has made an attempt to dupe her celebrity crush. After all, she was a convicted getaway car driver for stealing a ring.

Project Runway Season 19 Episode 10
In the Season 19 Episode 10, "The Project Runway Fashion Show", we see a new challenge. It is about the use of unconventional materials. For example, we saw Nina use a gothic dress and OC ladies use beaded fabric. They made a dress that was not very well made.
Beaded fabric
Project Runway is back with a new challenge. Designers will be asked to create a dress using unconventional materials. They will be required to sew with beaded fabric, a material which cannot be used with a sewing machine. Earlier in the season, designers had to make a dress from cocktail bar items.
Last week's episode ended with a cliffhanger. In the following episode, the designers would be tasked with making a dress for an obese woman. There were also two eliminations. This episode featured double elimination, as well as a team challenge. The teams were given a budget of P6,000 (US$124) and were given seven days to complete the dress.
One of the biggest problems of the challenge was the fact that the designers were asked to make a dress for a plus-sized model. Unfortunately, they were not provided with any measurements or a model's size. And even if they did have the right measurements, they were not provided with a model of the correct shape.
As a result, they often failed to define the waist of the plus-sized model. Usually, the waist was thick and didn't have any definition. Another issue was the use of a lot of chiffon fabric.
For this week's challenge, the designers were given a white dress to work with. They were instructed to redesign it as much as possible. Each designer was also asked to choose a teammate.
Shantall Lacayo won the week's challenge. However, it was the team's worst design. He had a very ill fitting mess. It was also a very cheap looking knit.
Meanne and Cherry also received the worst score. Despite their efforts, their design wasn't particularly creative or unique.
Meanwhile, Zayden's was a mess. He had chosen a horrible-looking fabric, and then he went to the fabric store to buy something that was cheap. Not only did he get a crappy piece of fabric, but he also bought a really cheap-looking knit.
After each designer finished their designs, the judges had to decide whether the designs were good enough to pass on to the next designer. The winner was given immunity for the next challenge.
Unconventional materials challenge
Project Runway is back after a two week hiatus and the show returns with an unconventional materials challenge. This time, the designers were given $250 worth of materials from Dylan's Candy Bar. The challenge required them to create a festive holiday dress from these unconventional materials.
In the past, Project Runway has featured several different unconventional materials challenges. From using trash to swimsuits made from hanging string, there are plenty of unusual materials to choose from.
There are many challenges that are more difficult to execute than others, and one of them is the candy store challenge. In this challenge, designers are given the task of creating a festive cocktail dress from items found in a cocktail bar.
The judges were given the task of finding the most impressive item for the challenge, and in some cases, they got more than one. Among the most noteworthy items were a candy dish, a pleat, and a Hershey's bottle.
Other challenges included a Saturn car, party favors for clothing, and the use of corn husks as leather. Some designers used metal washers for the challenge, while others tried to use trash bags to give their designs a leathery feel.
Another interesting challenge was a flower shop. Several designers used foliage to create inspired looks. Others prayed that the leaves wouldn't fall off their dresses.
And, for the most part, the Project Runway season 19 episode 10 unconventional materials challenge was a success. In the end, Shantall Lacayo won the day with a black drinking straw gown. He used a beaded fabric that wasn't machine-sewn, and omitted some ruffles. Coral chose a different color, and omitted butterflies. She also went against Leah's request.
Of course, you don't want to miss this week's episode. You can catch it on Peacock, NBC's online streaming service. It will air on January 6, 2022 at 9:15 pm. After that, you'll get to see the winner of New York Fashion Week.
The Project Runway All Stars were in for a treat, too. After being forced to re-design an old piece of clothing, they finally found a willing muse.
OC ladies' dress was poorly made
In a recent episode of Project Runway, seven Real Housewives franchise stars took center stage as models for the designers. The episode featured a series of unconventional cocktail dresses with a twist. Guests included Taraji P. Henson, Jason Wu, Wisdom Kaye, Gigi Hadid, and more.
The designers were tasked with designing a reunion look for one of the seven 'Wives. After a brief introduction, the designers were given a day to finish their looks. Each designer was given $150 to use in the challenge.
The challenge was to make a dress using unconventional materials. Eight designers were given a cocktail bar's discarded items, like a black drinking straw or a doily, and asked to turn them into a cocktail dress. Several of the designs were created by former Project Runway contestants.
The designers had to create two different looks, each with their own style. The winning designer would receive immunity for the next challenge. Among the winners, Shantall Lacayo made a black drinking straw dress and Prajje Oscar Jean-Baptiste made a painted doily dress.
Some of the designers had trouble executing the designs they received. Ra'mon was eliminated because he was unable to follow the guidelines of the challenge. Ven was also criticized by the judges for his poor craftsmanship and unsatisfactory dress.
Another model, Nina, was unhappy with her dress. Although the judges said the final look was beautiful, she felt that it was a bit gothic. She thought it was poorly constructed and could have been better.
Gizelle Bryant of "Potomac" was one of the designers tasked with designing a look for her fellow Bravo personality. She said that she had to make it "sexy," but did not want to show too much skin. Wendy Osefo of "Real Housewives of New York City" was among the other designers.
There are many controversies surrounding Project Runway. This season was tainted by a bitter split between Angela and her mother. Other former contestants have been reinstated, including Vincent and Angela. And, of course, Andy Cohen has joined the show as a judge. But if the show can keep its focus on high fashion and not on controversy, it could be a good thing.
Nina's dress was "gothic"
When the designers first walked out onto the runway, it was the biggest Project Runway event ever. Eight designers were asked to design a cocktail dress from items found at a cocktail bar. Each designer had a budget of $400 to make a garment in under 24 hours.
As they worked, the judges took a close look at the designs. Nina Garcia, Elaine Welteroth and Michael Katzenstein had different opinions. They also had some things to say about the outfits that they felt weren't cohesive.
After each designer was presented with their creation, the models were out for a panel. Michael was the most vocal judge, he was critical of each design. He felt that the outfits didn't make any sense from the back. However, he thought the silhouettes worked well.
Shantall Lacayo won the first challenge, making a black drinking straw dress. Aaron and Gizelle were the other two designers who made the top two. The judges praised both of their dresses. Afterward, they all rushed to Mood, a store that sells supplies and a place to buy fabric and embellishments.
Andy's collection was a safe choice. He's won the show twice and he's a great designer, but he doesn't have a lot of personality. This season, he's putting a strong emphasis on meeting his clients' needs.
Chasity was a fan of the show. She had to hand sew the beaded fabric, which isn't possible on a sewing machine. Despite this, she's super proud of the outfit she designed.
Nina, however, was not so happy with the final three looks. The last three pieces were too dowdy and the silhouette didn't make sense. She also thought that the designers should have tried more color. Ultimately, she picked Shantall Lacayo as the winner.
While this season didn't feature a lot of big names, it did have an impressive amount of talent. You can vote for your favorite designers, and share your thoughts with other Project Runway fans! We can't wait to see what's in store for Season 19! Until then, be sure to tune in to Bravo to watch "Project Runway" on Wednesdays at 8pm!https://www.youtube.com/embed/4IkoQWSGqYU

While Christian Siriano has been involved with Project Runway for some time, this is the first time he's taken over as a full-time judge and mentor. After Tim Gunn left the show, Siriano took over. Previously, the show's host was Karlie Kloss.

The newest edition of Project Runway will feature 16 designers from around the world. Each of them will compete for three spots in the finale, which will take place at New York Fashion Week.
Top Five Fashion Designers Who Have Been Featured on Project Runway
Project Runway is a television series that follows three designers as they create a collection of clothing for a high-profile fashion show. The show was originally produced by Tim Gunn, who has a long and successful career in the fashion industry. He's also known for his work on the hit TV show, "America's Next Top Model." Now he's gone on to launch his own line of designer clothing. And his designs have been featured on some of the most high-profile red-carpet events in recent years.
Tim Gunn's least-favorite season
Tim Gunn's least favorite Project Runway season may have been a close call. The show is one of the most popular reality TV series, but has suffered from creative fatigue in recent seasons.
The latest season, which wrapped up this past Monday, ushered in a new judging formula. However, some viewers have criticized the change.
Heidi Klum's role on the show has been questioned. The singer/model is a regular judge on the show. She has a hand in presenting each challenge, as well as interviewing the contestants.
Other judges include Michael Kors, Nina Garcia, and Christian Siriano. Each brings a different flair to the table.
Heidi Klum and Gunn aren't the only judges who have a bit to prove. There's also a new face in town. Zac Posen is the new judge on the show.
Despite its name, All-Stars is more of a costume porn show than a fashion contest. The competitors have to show off their creative skills in an assortment of challenges.
It's not uncommon for young designers to win contests with an eccentric twist. This season was no exception. Uli wore a variety of cute outfits, but he was criticized for repeating his wild-print party dresses.
On the other hand, a designer embroidered the names of children who died at the border on his dress. Despite being a clever idea, it wasn't as impressive as it sounds.
Another of the season's most impressive achievements was the fact that the contestants used measuring tape outside of the workroom. When asked about it, the winner changed her admission on the reunion show.
If you're a fan of the series, you might want to read up on the most important facts.
Kara Janx's clothing line has seen a 600% increase in sales
It's not often that you see the likes of a top-tier fashion designer, let alone one with the resources to spare. For example, in addition to designing her own line, Kara has been a design director at Elie Tahari for two years. She has also gotten the chance to show her stuff at some high-end runway shows, most notably Mercedes Benz Fashion Week.
Aside from her newfound gig, Kara has been busy on the home front. Her latest fling is a baby girl whose name is still under wraps, but it will be a lady nonetheless. To be sure, her pregnancy has not been a walk in the park. Luckily, she had a little help along the way. With an eye on the prize, she figured out what she needed to do in order to achieve her goals. This includes getting her uterus to churn out one a month. As a reward, she received some perks the likes of a private jet and a designer branded diaper. Now, if she could just get her sexy baby to sleep, she'd be set. And, as a bonus, she'd be a lot closer to her ol' dad. That is, as long as she can keep her hands off of the remotes.
Christian Siriano's designs have been seen on A-list red-carpet events
Christian Siriano's fashion designs have been worn by some of the world's most influential celebrities. Known for his whimsical, statement-making looks, the designer is a staple on the red carpet. He is a veteran of the fashion industry with over a decade of experience.
After launching his own label in 2008, Siriano has dressed some of the most recognizable names in pop culture. His designs have been seen on celebrities such as Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ariana Grande, Janelle Monae, and Solange.
His signature look is often voluminous, layered, and dramatic. He uses rich fabrics and lace to create the looks. Many of his pieces feature a bold, vibrant color palette, as well as a clean silhouette.
In addition to his signature voluminous look, Siriano has been known to dress more petite and plus-size women. In the past, his ensembles have been worn by stars like Jennifer Lopez, Cardi B, and Ashley Graham.
The eponymous designer launched his nameake collection in 2008. After winning Project Runway in 2008, he has become a favorite among celebrities. One of his most notable looks includes an off-the-shoulder red gown he wore to the Ghostbusters premiere in 2016.
As an advocate for size inclusivity and body diversity, Christian has been a leader in promoting body positivity on the red carpet. This was evident when he worked with Leslie Jones to create a stunning off-the-shoulder red gown for the Ghostbusters premiere.
Christian's work has been featured in numerous publications, including Time, which deemed him one of the 100 most influential people of 2018. The designer has also starred on Bravo's reality show Project Runway.
Austin Scarlett has a successful career dressing drag queens
Austin Scarlett is a talented dressmaker with a history dating back to his days as a contestant on the first season of Project Runway. He has since gone on to become a successful wedding dress designer. This is a feat that is aided by the fact that his costumes are frequently seen on the main stage of the aforementioned reality show. In addition, he has his own spinoff show, On the Road with Austin and Santino.
He has also dabbled in costume design, having designed dresses for Vera Wang. It isn't uncommon to see one of his creations in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. As for his best known creations, he has produced one or two wedding gowns for a handful of A-list celebrities, including Beyonce and Kim Kardashian.
Jay McCarroll's film "Eleven Minutes"
Jay McCarroll's film, "Eleven Minutes," is a documentary that documents the fashion designer's journey from designing a runway show to selling it. The documentary explores the relationship between fame and talent, and also the conflict between commerce and art. This is a humorous exploration of the creative process.
In this documentary, Jay McCarroll prepares for his first-ever runway show, in which he will showcase his new line of clothing, Transport. As the aspiring fashion designer works through the process of putting together the event, he also tries to avoid the pitfalls of the fashion industry. His clothes are not for everyday wear, and he rants about his encounters with people who don't understand him.
After winning Project Runway, McCarroll wants to become a real fashion designer. Fortunately, Michael Rucker (Project Runway's producer) is willing to pose as his model. However, it is difficult to ignore the fact that McCarroll is clearly a product of the fashion industry. He mutters about the superficiality of the industry, and pokes through the racks of clothing. At times, he even uses Carson Kressly as his "Bravo slave."
While there are many similarities between the fashion industry and the entertainment industry, McCarroll makes it clear that he is very dedicated to the latter. He wants to create a fashion line that is not just for people with a lot of money. His clothing, which are inspired by Kate Pierson's beehive hairstyle, are not for everyday wear. And as the fashion designer prepares for the big day, he is also aware that the event is a joke. So how does he handle it? Do he go backstage, or just let the show play out?https://www.youtube.com/embed/s05Zy8Js_Yc
The Most Successful Project Runway Designers
As fashion week gets closer, there's a lot of talk about the most successful project runway designers, and how they were able to make their designs look amazing. There's Ayoung-Chee, Vengsarkar Budhu, Jay McCarroll, and Lacayo. And although each of these has made a splash in the fashion world, it's important to remember that every designer is unique. It's not just about their style, but their background as well.
Vengsarkar Budhu
When it comes to fashion and more specifically, design, Vengsarkar Budhu of Guyanna, New York has blazed the trail. His designs have earned him the title of "best fashion designer" at the Fashion Institute of Technology, or FIT, where he also honed his craft after a stint with Donna Karan. He even has his own clothing line, Gavaskar. Besides designing, Budhu has been a bona fide philanthropist, supporting several organizations and causes in his time, including an art exhibition in honor of his mother, and a swanky soiree in homage to a dear friend, among others.
Of course, you can't forget Budhu's latest and greatest endeavor, which is a reality show on the Lifetime network. The competition is stiff, but Budhu is certainly not the only star in his league, as he's already made a name for himself among the creme de la creme. One of the show's more seasoned pros is alumna Heidi Klum, who has yet to give him the boot. With a little luck and the right connections, Budhu could be in business in no time. But, as with all high stakes endeavors, the risk is well worth the reward.
Jay McCarroll
Jay McCarroll is the first winner of Bravo's hit reality series "Project Runway." He was also the first to win season one, which premiered in 2005. As the winner, he received a fashion line for QVC and a mentorship from Banana Republic.
In addition to winning the show, McCarroll was named the most innovative designer of the season. His collection included futuristic-yet-retro pieces. These designs were inspired by vintage ads and hot air balloons.
After his successful season, McCarroll struck out on his own. Although he was awarded prizes from the show, he refused to accept them. Instead, he opened a fashion boutique in New York. However, he had a hard time producing intricate pieces.
One of the things that set him apart from other designers was his snarky sense of humor. Besides Project Runway, McCarroll was a part of the wardrobe department on the television series Mare of Easttown.
He was also a stylist in two short films. A new documentary, "Eleven Minutes," is profiling his life since winning the show.
The documentary follows the struggles that McCarroll goes through when trying to create a successful career in the fashion industry. McCarroll and his cameraman Rob Tate argue that the fashion industry is often naive.
Ashley Nell Tipton
In Season 14 of Project Runway, Ashley Nell Tipton became the first plus size designer to win the show. She won the prize of $100,000 to launch her own business, which she is currently working on.
Before winning the contest, Tipton had auditioned for other shows without any success. However, when her grandmother passed away, Tipton knew she wanted to apply. At age seven, she learned how to sew on her grandmother's sewing machine. This experience sparked her interest in fashion.
With the help of her family, Tipton set up a portfolio for her audition. She worked two jobs to support herself. Then, she went shopping in Los Angeles. When the producers called, Tipton stepped into the audition with a new confidence.
It was then that she realized she had found her future. Now, she is working to help her customers embrace their curves and achieve the self-confidence they've always desired.
While working at Torrid, Ashley Nell Tipton became frustrated with the lack of clothing options for plus-sized women. So, she created a line of clothing for curvy ladies. She sold clothes that gave customers the confidence to step out of their comfort zone and into a more confident position.
Anya Ayoung-Chee is the winner of Project Runway season 9. She was born in New York, but moved to Trinidad at a young age. She has a passion for entrepreneurship and hopes to help build the Caribbean creative community's access to global markets.
As a result, she has launched two fashion lines: Pilar by Anya and WYLD FLWR. Both collections are produced in Trinidad and Tobago. She plans to expand her label and make it more accessible to the local market. The brand also has a matching service and a matchmaking platform.
Having won Project Runway, Ayoung-Chee now earns $100,000. In addition, she was awarded the fan-favorite prize of US$10,000. But it wasn't all good news for her.
Despite her success, Ayoung-Chee has faced criticism from fellow designers. In fact, she nearly didn't make the final episode.
However, her determination has kept her on track. Ayoung-Chee has a second mission: to create a platform to help build the Caribbean creative industry. Her foundation, Together WI, works to empower women. It also provides grants to promising designers.
She has also taken a strong interest in using social media. With a Facebook page of over 59,000 subscribers, she has become a popular figure to follow.
Shantall Lacayo is a Nicaraguan designer who competed on the Latin version of "Project Runway" and ended up winning the $250,000 prize. In addition to her prize money, she also received mentorship from the Council of Fashion Designers of America.
She was born in Managua, Nicaragua on May 4, 1984. Her mother owns an art gallery and museum and raised her in a household that is very artistic. She learned to sew from her grandmother at age four. By the time she was thirteen, she was selling stretch shirts to her friends for just two dollars.
Lacayo is inspired by the native culture of her country. She is a member of the Nicaragua Disena fashion arm and works to promote her home country's cultural traditions abroad.
The brand is known for its innovative color combinations and sharp tailoring. Its roots are in Mesoamerican culture, but Lacayo reinterprets these elements with a contemporary twist.
Lacayo is a fashion designer who has been featured in big-name magazines. She has won several awards, including the Latin American edition of Project Runway and a fashion award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America. Currently, she is working on her spring leather handbag collection.

In addition to his work as a fashion designer, he is a passionate advocate for HIV and AIDS awareness. He is a member of the HIV advocacy organization Dining Out For Life, and he is currently working with Merck on I Design.

He has become a well-known and popular social activist. He is a spokesperson for Merck's iDesign HIV/AIDS initiative, which aims to raise awareness about the disease. As a part of his role with the company, he will travel the country in 2012 to raise awareness about the disease and encourage people with HIV to have conversations about their health.

His designs have appeared on Sarah Jessica Parker, Tina Fey, and Alexa Chung. He has also been inducted into the Council of Fashion Designers of America. Several of his pieces can be found at specialty boutiques and Bergdorf Goodman.
Another Project Runway All Stars alum is Gunnar Deatherage. This designer competed in both Season 10 and All Stars. He is known for his unique fabrication. For example, he used 700 coffee filters to create a print for a skirt. He also used a plastic table cloth to make a dress.
When he returned to Kentucky, he opened his own storefront. At this time, he began sewing his own garments. Eventually, he became a fashion editor for a Louisville art magazine. During his time in Kentucky, he also worked as a creative director for other publications. He has also styled celebrities like Lady Gaga.
In 2010, he was nominated for the Young Fashion Entrepreneur Award by the National Association of Independent Fashion Retailers (NAIFR). After competing on Project Runway, he continued to grow his brand and work as an entrepreneur.https://www.youtube.com/embed/MnUzjYjZ_80
