Christian, the youngest of the contestants in season four, is a freelance designer who travels between New York City and Los Angeles, working with designer Rosetta Getty. Born and raised in Annapolis, Maryland, Christian began his career in fashion at the age of 13 working for a local salon called "Bubbles." Creating costumes for the yearly hair show competition while he attended the Baltimore School For The Arts, his hunger for fashion became apparent -- and upon graduation he took an international leap toward his future at The American Intercontinental University, London. Quickly adapting to the fashionable European lifestyle, he showed a small collection during London Fashion Week in Fall 2005. Christian was given the opportunity to work for the queen of punk herself, Vivienne Westwood, where he gained valuable experience, leading him into a position at Alexander McQueen his senior year.
