Since day one, Shantall caught the eyes of the judges Nina Garcia, Brandon Maxwell, and Elaine Welteroth, with her unique designs.

Shantall got her big break when she managed to secure a spot on 'Project RunwayLatin America' in 2010. She emerged as the first runner-up on the show. Just as things were beginning to look up for the designer, her husband and she had to flee Nicaragua to escape the political violence in the country.
