TV Guests – Michelle Lesniak

Michelle Lesniak, Project Runway’s Season 11 winner is known for her strong aesthetic and quick wit. Michelle wowed both judges and viewers with her tenacity. Nearly voted off, Michelle fought back to reveal one of the most cohesive and distinctive collections seen on Project Runway to date.

Michelle trained at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, but couldn’t keep her hands off of textiles. Self-taught in both garment design and leather working, her love of art, print, texture and music shows in her final designs.

Michelle is committed to staying in her native hometown of Portland. Dedicated to local manufacturing and ethical business practices, Michelle is undoubtedly playing a key role in shaping and growing the Portland Fashion Industry.
