The world first met Christian Siriano when he was a contestant on Project Runway Season 4, which he won. From there, he worked to become a successful designer and build his brand. He also returned to Project Runwayas a mentor for the contestants. Now, he is returning to his fashion competition roots as a judge for the clothing brand SHEIN's first-ever contest, the SHEIN X 100K Challenge. The four-episode series has a star-studded judging panel, which includes Christian, Khloé Kardashian, Law Roach, JennaLyons, and LaurelPantin.

The challenge started with 30 emerging designers, hoping to make it as one of the top five contestants. The five finalists will fly to Los Angeles for the finale to get one-on-one mentorship from the judges during the final challenge: Be You!. These SHEIN X designer creations will be showcased during SHEIN's Fall/Winter 2021 virtual fashion show and streamed to millions of viewers globally. The winner also gets a grand prize of $100,000. The SHEIN X 100K Challenge series started on Sunday, August 22. You can catch up (and tune into the upcoming episodes) on SHEIN's free app as well as SHEIN's official YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook pages.  

The finale airs on Sunday, September 12th. In the meantime, we spoke to Christian all about the competition, the evolution of fast fashion, his love for SHEIN, and the advice he has for up-and-coming designers.
