Project Runway Season 6: Meet Malvin Vien

Malvin says he's "inspired by vagabonds, beatniks his travels in rural China, Japanese ghost stories and insect anatomy." Oh, honeys. We like this one.



Malvin Vien
Age: 24
Birthplace: Englewood, CO
Current Home: New York, NY
Favorite Designer: Himself (He likes what he has to say)
Style Icon: The farmers of rural China
Favorite Past Project Runway Designer: Jay McCarroll, Season 1

Malvin attended college at the University of Redlands, where he earned a degree in Social Medicine and Creative Solipsism through the University’s Center for alternative studies. He gained some of his early design training at the university’s costume department and later went on to study fashion design at Parsons The New School for Design. Malvin’s designs are inspired by vagabonds, beatniks his travels in rural China, Japanese ghost stories and insect anatomy. His fashion must is to have the courage to wear what makes you feel right.

Why he’ll win?
Malvin believes his designs have substance and a philosophy which separate him from other designers. He understands that fashion goes deeper than aesthetics, marketing or business.

Tim Gunn: "When you see this guy, you won't believe he's from Colorado."

TimSpeak: Look at the little podunk sew!







Aww. He seems sweet. Maybe we just have warm feelings for him because he had to grow up with the name Malvin. That couldn't have been easy.

As for his portfolio, there's not a lot out there, but we do like what little we see. That print dress is gorgeous.











Check out more of Malvin on his myLifetime.com page.

And a reminder that if you want to speculate on the finale collections, please take that discussion to the finale collection posts which you can find on the scrolldown menu at the bottom of the page.
