New York: Fashion designer Daniel Vosovic has someone very A-list in mind for the winning dress he created for the `Project Runway: All-Star Challenge.`
Vosovic dreams of getting none other than Nicole Kidman to wear the elegant black-and-white ensemble that secured his victory on Thursday`s special edition of the fashion-competition franchise.
Vosovic says he feels the urge to start a Web site for his case. Because, as he puts it, `I WANT that woman in my dress.`
The style-savvy actress helped set up a design contest for Vosovic and seven other top contestants from past "Runway" seasons. In a video message, Kidman asked them to create a red carpet-ready look for the upcoming premiere of her film "Nine," which also stars Penelope Cruz, Marion Cotillard and Kate Hudson.
She didn`t say who`d wear the chosen dress.
"As excited as we were, we certainly got it," he said. "I mean, she has an international image to uphold. ... I think that she just wanted to have a little bit of a look, so hopefully she`s watching the show, she loves what I did and she`ll want to wear the dress."
Representatives for Kidman could not immediately be reached for comment Friday.
Vosovic, 28, is planning to debut his namesake collection at New York Fashion Week in February. He recently published a book, "Fashion Inside Out."
He was booted from "Project Runway" in 2006 after making it to the final round. Armed with more experience and confidence, Vosovic was happy to return for another shot at the title of top designer and the $100,000 grand prize. He out-sewed the competition on the one-episode challenge with four looks that were notably edgier than his understated designs on season two.
He says Michael Kors, one of the show`s judges alongside Heidi Klum and Nina Garcia, once told him he created beautiful clothes that women want to wear but he was still learning how to put on a show.
"As harsh and real and honest as that was, I learned from it," he says. "And I learned, that, you know, sometimes you gotta turn up the volume a little bit."
