Marilinda

Marilinda Rivera, better known as simply Marilinda, was the winning model competing on the third season of the television series Project Runway.

She was the model for winner Jeffrey Sebelia.

Each week the designers choose a model that they want for the next challenge. At the beginning of the show there are an equal number of models and designers, but as the designers are eliminated, the models are as well. After trying different formats, Season 3 of Project Runway allowed the winning designer to choose their model first, and picked the names of the remaining designers out of a bag - the last designer whose name comes out of the bag determines which model will go home. Marilinda emerged as Jeffrey Sebelia's favorite early on in the competition - Jeffrey's cutting edge designs helped them to win the grand prize of Season 3. According to her MySpace page, Marilinda currently lives and works in New York City. She is of Puertorican and Dominican heritage.
