“Don’t waste any time! Always be thinking, producing or creating,” Austin-Weiss explained. “You will never know when an opportunity will come knocking.”
Austin-Weiss experienced this from the second she joined the show. She revealed that she had previously auditioned for Project Runway: Threads but didn’t make it on that competition.
“So when Project Runway Junior began casting, [the show’s producers] called me and said that I should audition for Project Runway Junior.”
And though she didn’t walk away with the top prize, that doesn’t mean she didn’t have a blast along the way.

“I’ve become such good friends with the entire cast. I love them all so much,” she explained. “The crew was awesome too — they were such fun to be around. The overall experience was so positive. Plus, winning a challenge and getting my own Simplicity pattern was incredible!”

“I vote Zachary. He is so incredibly talented. Everything he makes blows my mind,” Austin-Weiss revealed. “His style is so unique. He’s the sweetest person ever, too. There was one day where I was really upset about something, and I was crying about it on set. Later that night when we got back to the hotel, he checked up on me to make sure I was doing OK. I will never forget that. He’s amazing.”
