With his 15 minutes of fame two years behind him, Jay McCarroll, winner of the first season of Project Runway, has just one opportunity to cash in on the launching pad the hit Bravo show provided. This no-holds-barred documentary follows the designer as he embarks on a yearlong attempt to jump from the small screen to the fashion world in an 11-minute Bryant Park runway show. From production to sales to accessories, Jay has to manage all of it—this time without the resources, experience, and knowledge of the Project Runway machine working on his behalf. Follow this enigmatic figure on an emotional roller coaster as he struggles to break into the most elite, elusive, and bitchy business in the world.
ELEVEN MINUTES TRAILERAfter watching Jay make it work in Eleven Minutes, join the Project Runway winner at our Closing Night Extravaganza! And there is no better location to throw an after-party about fashion than a place to get beautiful—Salon 1800. Drink Blue Moon and Three Olives Vodka cocktails, nosh on appetizers, and view McCarroll's fabulous creations on display!
