Rami talks about his time on "Project Runway"

Rami Kashou might not have won the $100,000 first prize on "Project Runway" lasr week, but he did make it to the final three and, hopefully, the worldwide exposure of his talents will serve as a springboard for major success for this talented man. He spoke with AfterElton.com about the experience and here are a few nibbles:

On the judging: "Because my work is specific, and because it stands out, I was bashed for it. Yet, the first time they saw it, I won the challenge. So in a way, that sort of revealed to me that there is some type of an agenda. It's their agenda, it's their show"

On his sexuality: "I don't really push the gay thing, nor do I hide it. Really I push my work. Of course, it's about us, we're people. But it's really more about a product that I would hope people would learn more about, and if other questions fall in about me personally, I'm happy to answer them."

On his future: "I think I'm successful in terms of creating a brand that is acknowledged, and a reputation, yet still needing backing in terms of finance. So it's a question of successful in the PR department, in reaching out to certain celebrities and making collections, staying above water and doing what I love, but still waiting for that moment when I can have investors behind my company."
