Shirin Askari: Project Runway Season 6 Premiere
Be sure to watch Project Runway’s season six premiere tonight, August 20th, on Lifetime at 10 pm et/pt, or you’ll miss the very sweet Persian treat: contestant Shirin Askari.
“My name means sweet in Farsi,” says the 23-year-old Iranian-American fashion designer on her audition tape. “I am, but if somebody says something stupid, I’m gonna’ call’em on it.”
“I want to share my vision with the world,” adds the University of North Texas BFA grad and former tech-designer for Fossil.
So, will she use her Persian background for inspiration like season five’s Korto Momolu did, with her African heritage, and please us?
Guess we’ll have to tune in and “watch what happens” on this season’s Project Runway on its new home: the Lifetime network.
