Interview: Jay McCarroll

Summary

Finding Eleven Minutes of fashionable fame

Article

As fashion spews its glamorous, conspicuous consumptive self this Sunday at the Academy Awards ceremonies, taking Eleven Minutes to task appears apropos.

Once labeled “The next great American designer” on season one of reality television’s Project Runaway, fashion designer Jay McCarroll is gearing up for his next show.

Chronicling the whereabouts and wear-abouts of McCarrol these days, directors Michael Seiditch and Rob Tate go behind the seams of New York’s Fashion Week to get a look at what makes the cut-throats in today’s fashion industry.

Egos rise and egos fall and nobody will have to mend and sew the fears, fury, fun, and fabrics more than the funny and foulmouthed McCarroll before he gets his eleven minutes of fashion and fame.

We caught up with McCarroll recently to get his thoughts on Eleven Minutes. Some of which may give second thought to those fancy duds paraded along the red carpet this Sunday.
