Of course I couldn't chat with Project Runway's Tim Gunn without
asking him about hometown fave Katherine Gerdes, a contestant on the
show last season. While Gunn has only lovely things to say about
Gerdes (and the Twin Cities) he is concerned that some of the show's
younger designers like Gerdes are too eager to set off on their own
while in the throes of reality tv insta-fame. Gerdes quit a design job
at Target right after the season wrapped. She's back home in
Minneapolis working on a collection for the Voltage fashion show to be
held at First Avenue in April. "Working for (established) designers is
like going to graduate school. Except for the Proenza Schuler
phenomenon, there's no such thing as an overnight success."
