7x7 sat down with Project Runway almost-finalist and Gap Kids designer Jay Sario last week, and they chatted over coffee at Four Barrel just hours before the show's finale aired. Takeaways from the interview: Jay's working on a Spring 2011 collection but holding onto his job at the Gap, and he's really not down with being touched by strange fans:

Do you get recognized often? I do.

Has it ever happened in a really unusual or bizarre place?
No, never any bizarre places. It’s all been very normal. I think what’s scary is when they start to touch you. I get scared.

So people automatically go for the grab?
Yeah. That to me is a little sketchy. Especially when you’re at a bar. Because you never know, like, what their state of mind is.
