Jay McCarroll, Kelly Cutrone, Carson Kressley

It's been two long years since the sharp-witted Jay McCarroll was dubbed "the next great American designer" on season one of reality television's "Project Runway," and he's anxious to finally show his...( read more  read more... ) first line of clothing.
