Project Runway Season 19 is around the corner. Nina Garcia, Christian Siriano, Brandon Maxwell and Elaine Welteroth are all set to return to the judges' panel. They will mentor 16 aspiring designers to feature their collection at New York Fashion Week.
The official synopsis of Project Runway reads:
“Aspiring fashion designers compete for a chance to break into the industry in this reality competition. Each week, a designer is eliminated from the competition after exhibiting their work in front of a judges' panel.”
Although all the designers have their own successful fashion line, their participation in Project Runway will open the inside doors to the fashion industry. One such creative artist is Bones Jones who didn’t start his career in the field of fashion and garments.
Who is Bones Jones?
Project Runway star Bones Jones was born and brought up in a small town in Virginia. Prior to becoming a fashion designer, Jones was a professional dancer and a Broadway artist. After attending the Virginia School of the Arts to study jazz, ballet and modern dance, he turned background dancer for several famous icons, such as Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, and Mariah Carey, among others.
Jones has also appeared in various Broadway shows, including The Illusionists and Fuerza Bruta. In 2019, he retired from his dancing career and launched his fashion line, House O Bones (HOB), which is about unisex fashion and everything lifestyle.
Jones’ love for fashion started in his childhood when he used to watch his grandmother sew for her boutique. His first sewing machine was given to him at the age of 16.
