Hester Sunshine Project Runway 17
Hometown: Santa Fe, NM Follow on Instagram
Hester Sunshine finds inspiration as a designer in everything around her. Hester has been designing her whole life and calls New York City home, after a few stints in Santa Fe, New Mexico during her adolescence and to help take care of her parents who still currently live there.
Since she could speak — and demand that her parents dress her in fashionable clothing — Hester began to dress herself and sew with a children’s safety needle to create designs for her dolls. She sold her doll designs to classmates, and by sixth grade, she had graduated to selling her own children’s clothing to friends after trading her safety needle for a real sewing machine.
Hester attended Parsons School of Design with a double major through Eugene Lang College. Unfortunately, she was kicked out of Parsons during her junior year and finished her degree abroad at Central Saint Martins in London before returning to complete her major at Eugene Lang. She proudly holds degrees in fashion design, history, and theory.
Hester describes her fashions as colorful clown couture with a vintage punk rock edge, and she is influenced by current and past trends as well as art history. While she has been a fashion outsider most of her career, after being kicked out of Parsons and struggling with industry acceptance, Hester is now on the path to finding her place in the fashion world.

You get kicked out of Parsons and graduate from St. Martins in London— both prestigious, pricey schools. Since St Martins is the sister school to Parsons I'm wondering why she got accepted--unless the reason why she got kicked out wasn't wholly her fault. She seemed slightly messy in the preview but I'll reserve judgement on her for now.

After the second episode I think I see why she left Parsons. She came off as one entitled chick - perhaps she pulled her spoiled brat routine with them and Mommy and Daddy paid for the London school. Guessing, but not seeing the quirky she portrays.

I scrolled through some of her Instagram photos. They scream quirky teenager to me, not couture woman. Some were actually very cute, for teens. I don't see her lasting long in this competition.

I wanted her teammates to deny her the money to buy all that tulle. At least her team was safe.

I agree...then she was looking to use the other fabric, cuts it so nobody else could use it and doesn't use it.
