This is now...
It seems everywhere I turn in this city I’m bombarded by Heidi’s face telling me that everyone is “On pins and needles” for Season 3 of Project Runway -- I can’t escape it! Especially after attending the launch party a few nights ago, reminiscing with some of my Season 2 cohorts, mingling with a handful of the newbies from PR3 -- it just got me thinking of what it was like for me walking into that audition room over a year ago.
Wow, how time has flown!
That was then...
It was my senior year at the Fashion Institute of Technology here in NYC, and with a senior show weeks away, a final portfolio deadline looming over my head, 25 boys to move out (I was an RA), and searching for an apartment in my “free time,” I was attempting to prepare myself for what all of my professors so politely described in authoritarian voices as “the real world.” The last thing on my mind was auditioning for some reality TV show. However, after catching the first season in its entirety during one of Bravo’s marathon-crazy weekends and seeing the audition date was only a few weeks away, I thought to myself… why not? The only thing I needed was three garments, a picture portfolio and the patience to stand in a really, really, really long line. I remember thinking to myself the night before: “Now, don’t be one of those crazies who gets up at 5am to stand in a line -- just wake up at 9am like usual, work your way there and let them see how cool and relaxed I am.” Needless to say it was one of the most sleepless nights I’ve had in years. I can attest my friends to fearing that the patented Tim Gunn stare would strike me down right there in my tracks: Would I receive it? Would they like me? Am I wearing the RIGHT THING!?!?!
(Queue the heroic journey music)
So I awoke the next morning with a queasy stomach but an unwavering heart, and set out on that fateful journey with my garments and portfolio to determine my fate once and for all. (OK, so I know I’m making this a bit more epic than it should be, but c’mon you guys, it’s fashion!) I arrived to a line of about 60 peeps, some old, some young, some soccer moms from the Midwest, other twinky fashionistas from my school, all with one thing on their minds: “Make Tim Gunn love me.” I stepped into line, grabbed a 20-page application and found myself flanked by a tall, tapestry-clad girl with an effervescent smile to my right and a cute, nonchalant, understated 30-something guy to my left. It was a weird chemistry to say the least, all of us knew we were going for the same thing, all clutching our garments tightly, not setting them down to keep them from getting wrinkled but surely not holding them too high in fear of others taking our ideas. (Seriously, what was I thinking? -- It’s not like people had sewing machines and a six-handed assistant to help them sew right then and there.)

well I won't get into the "you're so gorgeous/you should have one season two/OMG you're so amazing" stuff because you read that from everyone, and it really goes without saying. However, I will say that I absolutely loved your designs throughout the show, as well as your final collection. I spent the entire last episode gasping and saying "what the hell is wrong with him [Tim]" when Tim Gunn was oddly silent while viewing your collection. Having read previous posts (specifically the one about meeting Kathy and SJP) I'd like to say that they must/should have been just as excited to meet you :). I hope to keep reading your fabulous posts!

Daniel, I just fell madly in love with you and your designs in season 2. I think everything you create is so unique and flattering. As an aspiring director, my goal has always been to just be able to make a living. Now the goal is to be successful enough to buy your designs.
Much love and admiration,

I am so proud of your accomplishments. You are like a fine wine; a brilliant designer that can only get better from here on. I can only wish that I would have stuck with my passion. Instead I am getting a BA in Marketing Management. All of my passions have been put on hold for now. Good job and keep raising the bar. Who knows maybe someday I will be able to afford one of you items.

Daniel,
I am a senior in high school and am enrolled in college level art classes which require an enormous breadth of work to meet the college standards and in my attempts to expand my own portfolio I stumbled across the idea of fashion design. While fashion has always fascinated me (I could never resist buying Vogue when I went shopping), I never seriously considered myself doing anything but the fine arts. However, I have delved more into the idea of fashion design and would be ecstatic to make it more than a hobby later in my life. I was hoping that you would be able to give some type of direction that I should head to introduce myself to the field. A fellow student in my classes can rattle off design concepts and such like there's no tomorrow and in her presence I feel rather inadequately prepared to even think about attempting anything to do with fashion. I'm just the girl who wears a T-shirt and jeans every day, but I have an eye for beauty and I want to create beautiful things, whether they be paintings or clothing. If there's any way that you could help me find a path to start on, I would deeply appreciate it.
Hannah

P.S: I'm going to sound like such a suck-up, but I have to say it: I admire you immensely. As an artist you create amazing work, and you seem like a very cool person. Keep the gorgeous creations coming.

I'll echo what the other commenters have said; I thought you should have won Season 2. Your designs appealed to me most out of all the cast, including those who were Auf'd earlier than the Top 3.
I'm also glad to hear that you're "still at it" and doing well. :)

Hey Daniel,
I just wanted to say that I loved your designs throughout season two. They were all gorgeous, well constructed, and really understated. I was so pleased that you handled yourself with such grace personally and professionally. You're so young and you were up against some very talented people. I think you'll go far in the fashion world, because you're not gimmicky, but instead have a sense of classic style with innovation, and you know how to make someone, man or woman, look their best!

I started watching PR during the beginning of the 2nd season and I loved it! You were my favorite designer from the start! I swear there was only one or two outfits I was unsure of but overall they were FANTASTIC! I was watching the finale and was SO CERTAIN that you would win. When they announced Chloe won, I was so upset! I screamed and began kicking the television! I never really did get over you not winning! As my friend points out, "You won the most challenges, and yet he didn't WIN?!" She was also upset. I would love to meet you some day!

Hi there,
So I am the epitome of a reality show junkie. I flip through channels, along with the rest of my reality show junkie family, and find something that looks somewhat interesting. If it is, I continue to watch it throughout the season and then reminisce about what happened on the show the next day! So Project Runway comes on and my parents are watching it. I sat down and immediately was like- oh yah this guy (referring to you, Daniel V) is gonna win FOR SURE! To become an immediate favorite to so many people is definitely a gift. So basically, congratulations for getting as far as you did, and I'll be in the city on Wednesday if you want to say hi! :-)

While I agree with all of the compliments about talent etc. I would also like to add to Daniel's increasing list of accolades.
I enjoyed watching Project Runway not for the design (which I really know nothing about), but for the personalities. I thought Daniel showed an admirable amount of class and good-naturedness that makes you think, should you ever meet him, that he'd be just the coolest guy to be around. I really liked that about him in the show, especially in the Pre-Finale show where each told a little about themselves and their history and Daniel talked about growing up dealing with feeling like an outsider or a freak in a conservative part of the country because he was gay.
I read an article once that people who judge harshly those who are gay, often have never met anyone who was or cared to know anything about anyone because it's easier to hate someone if you don't know anything about them or their lives. I think the more shows like Project Runway or Six Feet Under or Will and Grace highlight real gay men/lesbian women in a positive light... such as the super classy and down to earth Daniel V., the more that people who have limited views of other lifestyles will start just seeing the person and not just the stereotype.
Just my $.02 ;)

They didn't let my last comment through because I suggested something dirty between you, me, and Adrien Brody (older you!). Even though I'm a 15-year-old girl but we'd find a way. :P
Did I mention I love you?

to be honest, watching you design has really inspired me. i would love to meet you some day.

Hey DV:
Now that the newest season of Runway has started, I just wanted to drop you a comment to tell you that you are one of the most amazing designers. I was heartbroken when you didn't win Season 2, but you didn't need a win on the show to prove to everyone how talented you were. I knew you'd make it to the top three, and I was behind you and your entire collection for the win.
Do you have any favorites to win this year? Have you reaped any inspiration from any of the new designers?
Keep your head up, keep designing, and remember how many people out there have your back! Kisses!

It's funny, I am already addicted to Season3, and it's only the second episode.
If I say that your designs were my favorite last season, do I automatically sound totally cliché? ; ) All sunshine-blowing aside, I really did gravitate toward your designs most. All of the contestants really were individually talented, though, and I think that's the fun of the entire show: the unique perspectives and personalities. Season3 definitely looks interesting personality-wise already. : )

I wanted to tell you that you are an amazing designer that kind of hung back during the work then for the runway show-POW-you really hit 'em.I wasn't surprised in the least to see you at NY fashion week.

Daniel, I just want you to know that watching you and the others on the show has inspired me tremendously. Mostly you, though. Not only was I outraged that you didn't win, but I thought that you needed the opportunity more than the others because you were young, just out of school, and needed the jumpstart. I think your vision is incredible and I think you have the best taste out of the majority of designers I see these days. I thought you handled criticism and pressure well and always kept a professional yet happy state of mind. I admire you for that. Lastly, I'd like you to know that you have inspired me so much that I actually took up sewing again. I went to the fabric store, got samples, brought them home and began designing. It all came back to me so naturally (I hadn't sewn in about a year). I think your pieces are so beautiful and would love to know where I could purchase some of them in the future.
Take care, Daniel. You really are a gem.

Hello!!!!
I'm soooo happy to run into your blog! I fell in love with the show and was able to watch season 2. You were my absolute fav in that season. Daniel, you...have...the TALENT. Many designers were able to design. But you have TALENT. Everyone voted for you during the last episode via phone text over Santino and Chole! I thought you were going to win, and I'm sure that thousands more did too.
You deserved to win! The last collection was professional, yet didn't exactly show the talent you have shown so many times before. I hoped that you still was driven to succeed in the fashoin industry after the show. You should! Heck- Michael Kors offered YOU a job. YOU have a blog posted on teh Bravo MAIN page. They let you come in to help with the audition for Season 3. If not winning makes you think you aren't something....think again.
Keep your foot in the Bravo door...

Hey dan, oh my god, you were one of my favourite designers on PR2.
Your style, your talent, the way you put a garnment together, wow!
Keep up the great work, and be sure that if you come out with a mens clothing, I will most definetly be in line waiting to get my hands on something.
Good luck

ps. If you would be so kind and email me, I'd like to show you some of my designs, I'd love to get someone elses opinion.

HEY Q-T!!
ok, corny much??! (yeah i thought so...lol...) so i was trying to think if you were tired of hearing how gorgeous you are, or how your fashions are simply darling...well, they are and you are. *smiles* honestly, i know i am a bit young to [try] and give you "advice" but, i'll do it anyways. keep your face to the wind, and your mind open for more [beautiful] designs. look for inspiration at least once a day, try and take a picture of it so it wont go away. then try and think at least one design, your goal will be five disigns a week. If your like me, you kind of run out of mojo when creating your talent. (i am a singer/songwriter at (ONLY) age 14...kind of young but maybe i will post a song about you) i know, i know...loooong letter...but my point is (if possible) email me, i just need to make sure that my song is correct about you, you might sound different in it) CONTACT ME!!

I think your collection was beautiful. My question for you is: Michael Kors said to call him if you wanted to work for him, did you? If not, why not? Wouldn't that be a great opportunity? Or are you looking to start your own line. Good luck to you!

Daniel,
Have you or the other designers featured on PR ever considered designing clothing for "mature" women? How about designing for "plus size" women? Most women are not built like the gorgeous runway models. Another often forgotten market are people with disabilities who also want to wear fashionable garments (closures may be velcro rather than buttons or zippers, for example.) Perhaps you are the designer innovative enough to develop such a line. Your designs are beautiful. Good luck to you.

First and foremost i'd like to congradulate you on all your success. You have a great gift for creating beauty with fabric. I was a fan of all of your creations but I beleive you truly displayed just how strong your artistic talent is with the garden dress. What you were able to accomplish with leaves and flowers still blows my mind everytime I think of it. I can't wait to see how far your talent takes you in life. Last but now least, Thank you for sharing not only your talent but the love for your family as well.

I can't wait to see your name on a label. And I find it very admirable that you are taking your time and doing things the way you want to.
Good luck in all your future endeavors, and hope to see your designs in the future.
You've inspired me to start making my clothes again too. Thanks.
Take care and best wishes from Michigan.

Oh, and the "pins and needles" being everywhere...the commercial pops up everywhere too! At night it's like it's repeating in my head because I hear it so much during the day.
Anyways, love your designs! You were my favorite designer by far!

Your designs are truly beautiful and classy and I know you'll do well in the fashion world. I am happy for you that you are living your dream. I had just wanted to also mention that I think your character is just as classy. All through the show you were honest and genuinely caring. You seem to know one of the secrets to happiness and success because it's obvious you already realize that you don't have to be 'anti' everyone else in order to be 'pro' daniel. I wish more people understood they didn't have to be against the world to be for themselves. With your moral fiber and talent I'm sure people will truly enjoy working with you in the years to come. I wish you the best of luck and happiness, Mimi

Dan,
What can I say that hasn't been said here already? I did luv your blog; you really are a good writer. You should be so proud of what you accomplished on PR. Even if you didn't "win." It seems from the concensus that you should have won. Personally, I think it was a toss-up between you and Cloe: I liked her designs alot, too. But you must tell us if you took up MK on his job offer or not. EVERYONE wants to know. And in your blogs let us know what you think of the PR3 contestants. I always like some good dish!
Best of luck after graduation!
