While the person in the look feels fabulous, they know that the look is impeccably made.Īs seen in all of the Project Runway Season 19 challenges, Aaron’s technical ability set him apart in the workroom. In many ways, that signature feel is what makes Aaron and his designs connect with the person wearing it. When you put on my garments while they may not give you a signature style, I hope they give you a signature feel, and that is fabulous.” If you’ve ever seen me sign my name it’s different every time, but the feeling is there. I think they wanted a signature moment, but honestly…. I think it was a huge advantage being versed in a multitude of materials and styles. If you say make something that gives you a 1920’s feel, I can do it. He said, “I spent most of my life being a customer. When asked about his versatility, Aaron’s response was perfect. From over the top avante garde looks to pieces that any woman would want in her wardrobe, that range did and will serve him well. I learned so much, not just about fashion, but most importantly about myself.”Ī post shared by AaronMichael at the competition as a whole, Aaron not only learned something about himself but also showed a tremendous range. Brandi Sherwood – Miss USA (1990-something) said, “It’s not about who reaches the summit the fastest, but who learns the most about themselves along the way”…….

Although the label “winning” might have escaped him, that ability to set himself apart from the sameness should be celebrated.Īt the same time, Aaron admitted, it was “frustrating” to always be the “bridesmaid but never the bride.” Still, he said, “I felt as if I had won being able to compete in 11 challenges – I mean I learned to cut a pattern on the floor of my friends’ basement 20 something years ago……Now I’m on Project Runway……. Looking at all his episodes, his designs were in the top more than the bottom. Travers novel.”Įven though those witty comments can be a little self-deprecating, Aaron found positive aspects within the experience. Does it make me a better designer? Yes, because in order to be a good designer you need to know your limits and realize that life isn’t always a P.L. I am not now nor have I ever been Mary Poppins – I mean she was practically perfect in every way….right? I think when you can own your mess, you quickly learn how to clean it up if it happens again. Aaron said, I always say, “If I goof up, I goof up”……We are all human. When asked about that last look, Aaron spoke candidly and with a touch of humor.

That sense of responsibility endeared him to many viewers. While he might have had a few tense moments along the way, he seemed willing to approach this journey with intention.Įven with his final look, Aaron accepted the circumstances instead of throwing excuses left and right, which is quite refreshing for a reality competition show. Looking at the Project Runway Season 19 designers, Aaron Michael seemed to have a sense of purpose not just with each look but with how he handled himself within the Bravo fashion competition. As that uniqueness continues to unfold in his own fashion brand, it seems that many people will want a piece of that design aesthetic.

While he suggested that it was not the right narrative, he seemed proud that he succeeded in being uniquely himself. On his final Project Runway Season 19 episode, Aaron Michael had a simple, yet somewhat profound statement in summarizing the fashion reality show experience.
