Carson Kressley (placeholder)

Carson Kressley was born in 1969 and received his first piece of couture at the humble and tender age of 4. He slowly learned that he was a gifted child by realizing that plaid and stripes never go together and pleats make your butt look huge. He developed his keen fashion sense on the playground, mixing and matching outfits of all the children in his head and daydreaming of a world where everyone knew it was a cardinal sin to wear white after Labor Day. This constant daydreaming caused him to excel in the fashion world and obviously made him the last boy chosen in gym class.

In his professional life, Carson is an independent stylist who spent many years working with Polo Ralph Lauren in New York City, specializing in the design aspect of the men’s sportswear division. He also supervised fashion styling for the company’s national retail advertising campaigns. Carson graduated Magna Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Gettysburg College with degrees in Finance and Fine Art, and is also an avid, nationally ranked equestrian. That means he has a beautiful mind and always looks suave in the saddle.
