A Provo fashion designer is bringing her commitment to sustainable fashion to one of television’s most recognizable fashion shows, “Project Runway.”

Chloe Magleby is one of 22 designers on the 22nd season of the show — the largest to date.

Magleby makes all of her designs from secondhand and thrifted materials. She said she has always been passionate about sustainability.

“I always thrifted clothes. That was my thing,” Magleby said. “I knew I could find such cool pieces and it kind of built the confidence that you can be very fashionable and on trend or whatever it may be sustainably. When I started to make clothes, I knew that was the only way I wanted to go about things.”

She started by selling vintage clothes through her brand Public Parts. Then, she upcycled some items before making full-fledged design pieces from thrifted materials.

“The fashion industry is one of the highest polluting industries in the world, and there is more than enough clothes to go around,” Magleby said. “I love the idea of reworking things — taking old tablecloths and curtains that people don’t want anymore and turning them into beautiful clothes that have a new life when they were fast-tracked for the landfill.”

Magleby also grew up watching “Project Runway” and it became her “only frame of reference for designing.” Her first sewing machine, which she bought at 19, was a limited edition “Project Runway” sewing machine from Target.

Magleby moved to New York over two years ago, but did two runway shows in Utah, which she says influenced her fashion taste and experience as a designer.

“I just definitely felt like a little bit of an outlier in Utah, and I kind of embraced that,” Magleby said. “It made me be more bold and care less about what other people thought, specifically about my fashion taste, about the things that I wore.”

Magleby said growing up in Utah helped her build confidence.

“I like things to be a little bit more edgy, more fun, flirty, sexy,” Magleby said, “that is definitely kind of affected by growing up in a rather conservative environment.”

The best part of being a part of the show, Magleby said, was meeting all the other designers, many of whom specialize in different techniques. Some went to fashion school, while others are self-taught, like her.

“I’ve never gone to school for fashion. I learned everything from YouTube University, and now being able to learn things from other designers is so fun and valuable to me,” Magleby said.

People can tune into Magleby’s journey on season 22 of “Project Runway,” which will return on July 9 on Freeform and will stream on Hulu and Disney+.

“Fashion is an art form, and everyone’s style and brand and everything is so different that you really don’t compare when you’re on the show,” Magleby said.
