Catching up with Steven

Remember Steven Rosengard from this season Project Runway? You know, the lovable, vulnerable Chicagoan with the buzz cut who always seemed to be running out of time and declaring, "I’m screwed!" during his last challenges on the show? (If that doesn’t refresh your memory, check out this photo of him here with a dress he designed for an event at Logan Square boutique Wolfbait & B-girls in January.) If last week’s reunion show had you wondering (we sure were) what he’s up to now, read on.

Rosengard’s right hand gal, Monalee Shah, informs us that after the post-show buzz slows down, he has plans for a men’s sportswear line and a women’s accessory collection that’ll likely be sold in boutiques here in Chicago as well as online. But in the meanwhile, he’s still churning out custom-designed gowns and men’s suits from his East Lakeview studio (as he has been since 2005, though his biz has unsurprisingly picked up since appearing on the show). The by-appointment-only process is truly old school, from brainstorming about the design to taking measurements to creating a pattern from scratch.

Dedicated fans can rub elbows with Steven this weekend at Mad About Plaid, a benefit for the Chicago Institute of Neurology and Neuroresearch at the River East Art Center, where guests can also bid on a custom dress appointment in a live auction.

You had better believe I'll buy and wear that sports line. You ****ers need to come to Eau Claire to party with Pete and me some time. And that is the truth.
