When he was just 12 years old, Lucas was selected to appear on “Project Runway: Threads,” a spin-off series based on “Project Runway” that featured skilled teen and tween fashion designers.
There, he had the great fortune of making two life-long friends in his fellow contestants, Ciara and Kiera. Their episode entitled “Monster Mash Up” challenged contestants to create a look using two monsters mashed together as their inspiration. As if that wasn’t challenging enough for the junior designers, host Vanessa Simmons gave them a surprise twist midway through – their designs must be created using unconventional materials, which, in this case, was candy!
