Project Runway star teams up with Brother International

BRIDGEWATER, N.J. Brother International Corporation recently announced a business relationship with Jillian Lewis, one of three finalists of the hit fashion reality television show, "Project Runway" Season Four. Lewis was recently a keynote speaker at Brother's annual Back to Business event, where she explained how her own Brother sewing machine helped in developing her dream to become a fashion designer.

Lewis began sewing at the age of 16, on a Brother Pacesetter 2300. This Pacesetter model carried Lewis through her collegiate career at Parsons School of Design, and was used to create her first complete line shown on "Project Runway" Season Four.

"Brother has come a long way in 100 years, especially in the last 50. I see my own story as parallel with Brother's," said Lewis. "I share the same vision in the realization of my dreams as a designer and in the history I have with my Brother machine," said Lewis.
