Thirty-year-old Kevin Christiana from Fairfield, New Jersey is a first generation Italian-American born and a graduate of Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. His family originated from Ciminna, Sicily, and is composed of many tailors and seamstresses. Inspired by Alexander McQueen and Jean-Paul Gaultier, he likes cool vintage boots for a fashion must. He is also inspired by his travels and his daily living in New York City. Christiana learned how to sew through his Aunt Ida Lasusa, and since then has garnered many experiences from school and work. He later worked for his cousin, Susana Monaco for six years and consequently worked on his own line. Christiana is currently the head designer and partner of labels Kevin Christiana and KJeans.

Kevin Christiana joins 14 other hopefuls in season 4 of Bravo’s reality series, Project Runway.
