Meet Shirin Askari. She’s a strong, energetic and independent woman who would be a pediatrician if she wasn’t designing. Her favorite supermodel muse? None other than the lovely Heidi Klum. Watch for throwback themes in this designer’s pieces - her favorite style icon is Katherine Hepburn, and she pulls inspiration from the ’30s, ’40s and ’50s. While she loves ’80s and ’90s rock, she’s not a fan of  Crocs or midriffs.

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