Project Runways Season 7 Local Contestants

For all of my local Fashion Devotee's season 7 of Project Runway has two Florida contestants. Ben Chmura resides in Tampa, FL and Jessie LeNoir in Orlando, FL.



Ben Chmura has a BFA from Savannah College of Art and Design in Fashion Design. Over the course of his career Chmura has freelanced for several major brands including Ralph Lauren and Club Monaco. He was also voted the "Tampa's Best Local Designer" in 2007 by Creative Loafing.



Jessie LeNoir is a self taught designer with a background in tailoring. LeNoir learned to sew in college while studying acting. He believes in making garments that are “well fitted and beautifully constructed.”
