Meet Epperson. He’s a self-taught designer who enjoys the freedom to reengineer fabric. His professional inspiration? Yohji Yamamoto. If he had the opportunity to dress Michelle Obama, he would put her in a beautiful ruffled frock. Besides designing, he’s a loving father who enjoys walking with his wife and kids through Central Park.

Watch Epperson and the rest of the Project Runway Season 6 contestants sew up the competition on August 20.
