From Project Runway to Reality:
The Mychael Knight Interview
Written by: Kenneth-Michael
With an experience totally different from other aspiring designers, Mychael Knight has the notoriety from a national television show that earned him credibility. Dressed in a tailored gray Italian suit, pink shirt, and black Hugo Boss shoes, he embodies the word “fashion”. Standing six feet-two inches tall, he eludes the look of a Ford model, but gives the confidence and regal air of a top designer.
There is a saying that third time is a charm and it was for Knight. After auditioning for Bravo’s hit show “Project Runway” several times, he was selected as a contestant for season three. His initial audition was marked by the show’s host Tim Gunn telling him to focus and figure who he (Knight) was as a designer.
The son of a U.S. military officer, Knight was born in Germany and constantly moved with his family. He’s now a resident of Atlanta. “A lot of people don’t know that I actually went to high school in New York City,” says Knight. With a concentration in design apparel, Knight earned his bachelor’s degree from Georgia State University. After college, uninspired by the retail industry, he quit what he describes as a drag retail job within three months. Soon after, he received a phone call that would jumpstart his career.
