INF Daily was lucky enough to be invited to attend the big party for Project Runway’s season 8 premiere last night. Held on the swanky pool deck of the Empire Hotel in Manhattan, the party featured all 18 of this season’s designer contestants, and of course Heidi Klum. Rocking designer Betsey Johnson showed up to support her good friend Heidi, and nearly stole the show – she is one energetic lady.
