‘Queer Eye’ cast on outside projects

Queer Eye star Karamo Brown is bringing his signature look to the masses by designing his own line of bomber jackets.

“It’ll be coming very, very, very soon,” Brown told Variety on Sunday. “We’re starting with a small collection, and it’s going to be unisex. It’s going to be all sorts of patterns from things that are sparkly to things that are floral to things that you can wear to work.”

Food expert Antoni Porowski offered some more insight into his latest business venture, the reopening of the Village Den, the iconic New York City diner that closed in May. “It’s a reflection of what my diet is during the week whenever I’m actually taking care of myself,” Porowski said. “It will be a very stark contrast from my (upcoming) cookbook, which is all about decadence and butter and cheese and animals.”

Interior designer Bobby Berk also revealed that he’ll soon be launching a home goods collection in the U.S. and Europe. Brown said their individual business endeavors are separate from the merchandise and licensing deal that Queer Eye’s production company Scout recently signed with IMG.

Before heading to an outdoor reception, grooming expert Jonathan Van Ness unveiled a $10,000 donation on behalf of the show to GLSEN, a nationwide organization dedicated to creating safe school environments for LGBT students.
