Stephanie Prommer is a writer, editor and stylist in the fashion and entertainment industry. She's on the scene at all the hot parties, bringing you the inside scoop on A-list style and gossip.
I'm a die-hard Project Runway fan, so when I heard that former contestants Mychael Knight and Laura Bennett (pictured) were co-hosting an event, I jumped at the chance to go. Turns out the little soiree was thrown to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the weight loss drug Alli (which I do not take, btw), but hey – there's nothing wrong with a nice lunch and face time with Mychael!
Jai Rodriguez of Queer Eye fame played master of ceremonies while men and women regaled the audience with stories of their dramatic weight losses. After their inspiring tales, Mychael and Laura unveiled custom LBDs that they designed for four lucky ladies at the party who had collectively lost, like, a crazy amount of weight.
After the big reveal of the dresses I chatted with Mychael, and he gave me the scoop on what's new in his world. Mychael told me: "I'm still working on the fashion label, and trying to get into retailers, and I have a fragrance – it comes out maybe this summer. It's a unisex fragrance called MajK [pronounced Magic]. It's going to be forever my signature fragrance. It's beautiful, clean, crisp, and great for the summer." If you want to get your hands on the scent before it hits stores, Mychael told me that it's available on his website, www.mychaelknight.com.
I also ate my lunch with Laura Bennett, and I can't really print anything that she said, because that girl swears like a sailor! Who knew?

As one of the ALLI VIPS, and a lucky recipient of one of Mychal Knight's creations, I have to tell you all what a spectacular person he is, as well as a talented designer! What a treat to spend a few days with him and Laura Bennett! His fabulous dress really topped off my incredible weight loss with ALLI!
