6. Christian Siriano
When a 20-year-old Christian Siriano walked into the Project Runway reality-TV web, he probably wasn’t expecting to win against the much older and more experienced contestants. But he did, and his knack for ultra-feminine designs has guaranteed pretty smooth sailing for this casting show contestant ever since. Apart from running his own fashion line, which regularly presents its collections at the New York Fashion Week, his work can also be found in the prestigious Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus. His young demeanor and talent have also made him a favorite of Hollywood artists like Taylor Swift and Kaley Cuoco.
