Project Runway Season 6: Meet Johnny Sakalis

Sharpen your claws ladies, because we just may have found this season's "bad boy."


Johnny Sakalis
Age: 30
Birthplace: Long Beach, CA
Current Home: Los Angeles, CA
Favorite Designers: Alexander McQueen, Viktor & Rolf, John Galliano, Nicolas Ghesquière, Yves St. Laurent
Style Icons: Isabella Blow, Diane von Furstenberg, Anna Wintour, Madonna
Favorite Past Project Runway Designer: Christian Siriano, Season 4

Johnny is a graduate of The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, whose previous work includes being the small leather goods specialist at Gucci and assistant store manager at Hugo Boss. Johnny draws the influence for his designs from music, movies, books, pictures and, especially, people. His proudest designing moment was creating a wedding dress for a bride who cried with joy after seeing the dress.

Why he will win?
Johnny believes he will win because he has a strong creative flow, great sense of color and originality.

Tim Gunn: "Johnny will be polarizing, people will love him, or hate him."

Timspeak: "Johnny acts like an asshole to get more camera time."






Is it us, or was that a really strange audition? His audition pieces weren't all that great. He showed two very similar jackets and one unfinished skirt. The judges had some polite things to say, but they didn't seem particularly impressed with him. Gosh, you don't think they cast him for his personality, do you? Perish the thought!

Before you accuse us of writing him off completely, we just would like to point out that his portfolio:

















...is pretty damn impressive. There are some very nice, and more importantly, very interesting pieces there. He's talented. Let's hope he doesn't make the mistake of thinking he needs to be an asshole to make it to the end.

You can, of course, find out a lot more about Johnny by visiting his page on myLifetime.com.

Also, PLEASE LEAVE THE SPECULATION REGARDING THE FINAL COLLECTIONS ON THE COMMENT THREADS OF THE FINAL COLLECTIONS. Don't discuss them here.
