Wolf printed cotton t-shirt and lace skirt.  Designed and manufactured in Portland.  

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 comes through to 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.

Not only is Michelle a Project Runway star, her inspired studio is just next to Maitripa College.  We all love walking by and watching her creations emerge!
