Project Runway History
Kara Janx was a determined fighter during season two of
Project Runway, but instead of fighting with words, she fought
through her designs. Her soft-spoken nature kept her out of drama and focused on the challenges, even
though she never actually won any. But don't worry. She'll have her second shot at those challenge wins this January against
the other all-stars. In the meantime, refresh your memory and take a look at just how much Kara gives
of herself for the runway.
Kara Janx loses it under pressure:
Post-Project Runway
Many of the designers walk away from
Project Runway with styles to be added to the endless supply of
ready-to-wear fashion. Kara Janx offers that, plus a little something borrowed, something blue. Yes,
aside from the party dresses, fitted jeans, fresh patterns and pops of color in her everyday wear, Kara's bridal collection stands on its own.

And let us not forget the Kimono dress! Inspired by the traditional Japanese kimono, this
particular wrap dress comes in various colors and can now be found in retailers all over the place. First
seen wearing her own design on
Project Runway, Kara can now call the kimono dress her signature
piece.

It has been a long time since Kara Janx and her designs have graced the
Project Runway catwalk. Has her
post-challenge work prepared her for an
All-Star season win, or will she be a little too rusty? Tune in January 5 to
Lifetime and find out.
