Arts Magnet grad, and Project Runway, contestant Elisa Jimenez
Really, all we’re doing the rest of today is killing time till the 9 p.m. premiere of the fourth season of Project Runway on Bravo — which, as we told you way, way back when, features a Dallasite.

Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts and got her fine arts degree from the University of Texas at Austin. She’s a big-deal designer, having designed for the likes of Courtney Love and Cher and having shown at Olympus Fashion Week in 2005.
