In case you haven’t been glued to Bravo's "The Fashion Show" lately, the cantankerous Chicago designer Calvin Tran is still competing for the gold. Our sister site Racked National has the full low-down: “Calvin is a monster but he's pretty hilarious. His femme fatale is ‘Basic Instinct Sharon Stone sexy but evil as it can be.’ Then he directed hair and make-up to go ‘shiny and slutty and evil!’” [Racked National]
