Project Runway's first season winner Jay McCarroll doesn't want to be remembered as a reality television star, contestant, and winner; He wants to be acknowledged as a true fashion designer who puts together innovative collections, and survives in an industry that is known to toss the weak off the catwalks.
Eleven Minutes is the documentary that captures Jay McCarroll post Project Runway as he attempts to distance himself from the Bravo hit show, complete his first collection and plans his first independent fashion show for New York Fashion Week after 4 years of winning on Project Runway.
With the clock ticking while being under enormous pressure to prove himself as a real fashion designer, Jay must not only create his first line, but he must also also plan his first independent fashion show in a short time span of a few months, and subsequently attempt to sell his pieces to stores.
Through out the film, Jay McCarroll learns more about the business aspect of fashion design, and also works with a team of people to assist him. While the concept of a new fashion designer surrounded with a team of talented individuals might sway most to think this somehow made things easier for McCarroll, there were many moments in Eleven Minutes when it only created problems for the newbie designer.
His publicist Nancy Kane spends the majority of the film angry and more frustrated than Jay, his shoemaker Anthony Cady talks faster than he makes shoes, and his assistants are working for free and feeling extremely unappreciated.
But somehow through all of these dilemmas, Jay remains focused and keeps his sights on becoming a highly acclaimed designer.
Eleven Minutes shows the hard work, perseverance, and talent that it takes to make it in the fashion industry. In the documentary, one gets a real glimpse on what happens after the sketches, after a designer puts away the needle and when the real business begins.
Although the film is real and exposes the gritty truths of the day and life of a fashion designer, Eleven Minutes is extremely enjoyable because Jay McCarroll still manages to be his extremely funny, naive but lovable, and very much human self. You will find yourself rooting for McCarroll and laughing every minute along the way.
Eleven Minutes is extremely addictive and the perfect fix for anyone who loves fashion, appreciates the fight to keep innovation alive in fashion, and aspires to become the ultimate fashion designer as Jay hopes and fights to become.
