What are the Project Runway finalists doing now?

Answer:
Jillian Lewis, Rami Kashou

and Chris March (he was sort of a finalist) are all keeping busy in the fashion industry after losing to Christian Siriano on the season finale of Project Runway season four.

Jillian Lewis said she it took her some time to get over losing in the final episode of Project Runway, but the 26-year-old Long Island native says she's still working hard to make a name for herself in fashion.

"I have tons of people contacting me asking me to make some custom design. I'm not much of a custom-design person. I'm more of a ready-to-wear person — make the collection and whoever likes it should buy it."

Jillian Lewis said she's made a second collection that has already sold. Jillian is in the process of updating her new web site so that you can track her progress in fashion at http://www.jillianlewisny.com.

Rami Kashou is also trying to overcome the disappointment of losing Project Runway but is keeping busy. In fact, the 31-year-old Californian (he grew up in the West Bank) is designing clothes for Project Runway host Heidi Klum.

"I'm sending her pieces for fittings. You know how these things go — she might wear something or she might not."

Chris March didn't make it to the final round of Project Runway, but he was SO close. Kicked off the show mid-way through, he returned when Jack had to leave for health reasons. Judges were unable to decide between Chris March and Rami
Kashou, so both were allowed to complete a collection for Fashion Week. Before the show, both showed their top three designs to the judges. March was eliminated in that round, but he remains busy.

The 44-year-old freelance fashion designer is still working in New York creating hats, wigs and costumes for theater and entertainment companies. For updates on Chris March designs, visit http://www.chrismarchdesign.com.
