DALLAS — His stint on "Project Runway” was short, but Malan Breton doesn't discount the exposure.

"It gave me a name around America,” he said, especially to people who wouldn't have seen his fashion designs for many more years.

Breton, who presented his spring 2008 collection at Fashion Center Dallas, was a competitor on "Project Runway's” third season, along with Norman's Kayne Gillaspie.

Like Gillaspie, who now has his own line of prom, pageant and special occasion clothing, Breton took his moment in the spotlight and stretched it to his advantage. Though he showed at Fashion Week in New York for four seasons before he appeared on the show, nothing packs a runway show like a little name recognition — or curiosity.

In September, Breton presented his spring collection to a standing-room-only crowd at Fashion Week in New York.

He described his spring collection as a combination of shapes, including sheaths, shorts, wide-leg pants and cocktail dresses with fitted bodices and flowing or bias-cut skirts.

Breton, 34, was born in Taiwan and grew up in Hong Kong. His careers have been varied, from dancing and acting to reality television star and fashion designer.
