    He is so awesome! He doesn't notice differences in women deserving to be lovely. And he doesn't even notice the rules. Christian only notices that he broke a rule when it is pointed out to him. How awesome. Thank you from my art and even soul.

    The great thing about Billy's Oscar gown is that he exudes masculinity, fluidly. He wore the gown it didn't wear him

    I adore Christian! Fell in love with his sweet spirit on Project Runway when he was a contestant! There is kindness in him...as someone who was made fun of in high school I felt Christian would have been a friend! I am 73 now, and still remember those hard times. Glad Christian is successful!

    Suzanne Robbins wow! U said everything I’d like to have said. I absolutely luv him ( not in a sexual way, plus I know he’s not into girls). I loved many of the early PR. Remember that guy, seasons before Christian, who annoyed all the others & did imitations of like Tim Gunn. Santino! His name came to me as I was writing this lol. Those early PR’s were so fun. I too am so happy he became successful. Lots of times ppl win these type shows, then u never hear from them again......glad we hear about him😃. I liked his spiky hair back then. He’s awesome!

    He is so talented and I could see that after the first two or three episodes of PR! I remember when Tim went to his apartment before the finale and it was so tiny and yet he had his “studio” in that apartment. He told Tim he had everything in that tiny apartment because he was so broke. I’m so glad he made it big. He deserves it! Love CS! ❤️

    Veronica Reyes I’m 100% with u! I’m happy they chose him after Tim & Heidi abandoned this show. The little show that became huge hit. Now we get to CS every week!! How lucky are we?😃. I remember his very humble beginnings too & couldn’t understand how he did what he did in that small space. It was like if u turned around, ya hit yourself, but he.....made it work. Look at him now. Feel like a proud mama bear even tho he don’t know me but I always rooted for him & I used to get so mad, each season I’d have a fave & they’d come in 2nd or 3rd but his season, I feel I finally hit the jackpot....more importantly.....he did!😊

    Stop throwing the word 'iconic' around so much! It's losing it's meaning the way you use it so easily to describe people who have not been around long enough or done enough to be 'iconic'! I love Christian, but HE IS NOT ICONIC!!!

    Definition of iconic 1: of, relating to, or having the characteristics of an icon 2a: widely recognized and well-established an iconic brand name b: widely known and acknowledged especially for distinctive excellence I think the definition suits him. Longevity is not the issue.
