We are SO proud of her!

Project Runway's Andy South was a season 8 finalist who was an outwardly gay man.

And now, the Hawaiian designer has completed the transition into turning into a woman, confirming the news on her Facebook page and changing her name to Nong Ariyaphon Southiphong.

She wrote:

"Thank you to my fans and friends who have supported me all the way. To my family for seeing me for me and for all the love I am surrounded with. I am blessed to be so accepted and welcomed just the way I am. May that love flow through me and onto many others. Live in love for the world needs it."

We are so proud of your bravery, Nong! And we are most looking forward to your upcoming designs!

Narciso Rodriguez's itinerary for his fall line for Kohl’s is on helluva trip!

For inspiration, the designer traveled halfway across the world to Istanbul where he spent four days taking in the culture with the department store's execs.

Rodriguez said of his grand excursion:

“It was a really interesting idea to travel somewhere you had never been to before, and get your inspiration from a place that wouldn’t normally be in your comfort zone, bring that back and turn it into a collection. I was completely inspired by the people, the city and all the different cultures.”

Once he returned, Narciso dreamed up collection that includes dresses, knits, and tops in bright, bold colors with prices ranging from $30 to $150.

Will U be there when the collection drops in November!?

P.S. Check out two of the pieces (below)!
