Laura Bennett
The “mean mommy” on “Project Runway,” best known for her elegant designs and her accusation that Sebelia cheated during Fashion Week, Bennett has returned part time to her architect roots, working at the design firm Shelton, Mindel & Associates with her husband. In February 2008, Bennett debuted her LBD collection on QVC. She now writes about fashion and parenting for the blog the Beast, where her snappy, dry wit is put to good use. She currently lives in New York with her husband and six children.

Korto Momolu
