Jay Nicolas Sario is proving to be quite the competitor on Project Runway. Last night, San Francisco's own had his second victory for the Hard Wear challenge. Do you agree with the winner and loser? His first win proved he's legit, and now he's further solidified his place in the competition. We had a quick chat with the designer about why he chose a garbage bag, which judge's approval he seeks most, and who his biggest competition is.
Why did you choose garbage bags over anything else?
I chose the garbage bags for no reason. All the designers were not able to sketch a design concept before going to the hardware store, so it was challenging to pick items that I had no idea what to make of. I was not in favor of the garbage bags in the beginning due to the fact that it can almost be used as a fabric, and this was a challenge that pertained to "innovation," but I still kept them just in case. My design organically came together as I worked with the materials I found and that includes a drywall self-adhesive mesh tape that I utilized to give the garbage bags structure and leather like texture. As a finishing touch, I used Gapers tape to add color onto the entire look.

Meet Jay Nicolas Sario, last night's Project Runway winner. Here are some little-known facts about Jay: his favorite color is green, his favorite designer is Alexander McQueen, he is originally from The Philippines, his favorite model is Raquel Zimmermann, and his favorite fabrics are tweed, wool, denim, and leather (anything that can give structure and texture). Now that you kinda know him, you can really get to know him through our exclusive chat with him about last night's tricky challenge.
What was the inspiration for the winning dress?
Kasey's [his model] laid-back personal style and my tailored and yet relaxed design aesthetic inspired the winning little black dress that showcased fit and femininity. Kasey lives in Miami as a swimsuit model so I wanted to design a dress she can wear confidently whether she's in Miami, New York, or Los Angeles attending an industry party. We originally wanted a navy blue dress, but there were only a few colors of dye available so we've decided to go with black.
