Qristyl has been intrigued with fashion and design since the age of 15 when she sewed a black and white print cheerleader-style mini skirt. She studied fashion design at Stephens College in Columbia, MO, and went on to work as a stylist assistant and technical designer before making designs for her own company, Qristyl Frazier Designs. She has designed clothes for Queen Latifah, Angie Stone and Wendy Williams and is extremely proud that she can step out of the box and create beautiful designs for plus-sized women which, she terms, “plus sexy.”

Why she’ll win?
Qristyl believes she is a well-rounded and well-respected fashion designer and has been waiting for an opportunity like Project Runway since she first arrived to New York.

Tim Gunn: "Qristyl is a hoot, she likes a lot of color, and print. She's entertaining to watch."

What do y'all think of THAT? Also, what do we think of that? Well, we think it's long overdue for PR to feature a designer working in this milieu. From a design perspective, she clearly knows what she's doing because for the most part the clothes fit the models well and flatter them to boot. From a style perspective, we're not so sure. It's all very satin-y and we can't say we find the color choices all that sophisticated. Still, we'd like to see this gal unleashed in Mood to see what she picks. Very good choice, Tim, Laura and Emmett. The busty gals in the audience are all cheering right now.

Also, she's LOADED with personality:





Honestly, what's not to love there? Is it too soon to say it looks like this year's cast is the best since S3?
