Designer

The Resume

    (circa 1982- )
    Born in Taipei, Taiwan
    Founded Fashion Royalty
    Designed Michelle Obama's inaugural gown (2009)

Why he might be annoying:

    Growing up, his mother would take him to bridal stores so he could sketch the gowns in the window.
    He got started designing clothes for dolls.
    The New York Times wrote that his close-cropped hair makes him look 'like a truant from a boarding school.'
    He said the days following the inauguration were 'such an intense time, I'd forget to eat.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He won the Fashion Group International's Rising Star award (2008).
    His style was described as 'classic but modern at the same time.'
    Obama must have liked his dress, since she also wore his designs for a 'Vogue' cover shoot and for her first meeting with Queen Elizabeth.
    He said, 'I love working with young actresses who are just on the verge. It's always good to have a muse.'
