Carson Kressley
Renowned Stylist, Actor and Author
Exclusive Representation by Greater Talent Network
Accomplished stylist, television star, equestrian, author and fashion designer, Carson Kressley is out to make over the world. Kressley is one of the stars of Bravo's Emmy Award winning series "Queer Eye For The Straight Guy." He is also the best-selling author of the "Queer Eye For The Straight Guy" companion book, and the style-help guide "Off the Cuff" as well as the children's book "You're Different and That's Super."
In addition to "Queer Eye" Kressley's television credits include serving as host to Lifetime's hit show "How to Look Good Naked." Sharing his secrets from the world of fashion and beauty, Kressley teaches women of all shapes and sizes how to go from self-loathing to self-loving without resorting to interventions like extreme dieting or cosmetic surgery. He also serves as a judge in "Crowned: The Mother of All Pageants," the CW reality series about mothers and daughters competing together in beauty pageants.
Kressley recently launched, to great success, his new collection of women's wear and men's wear, Perfect by Carson Kressley, exclusively on QVC. The collection for women includes career staples while the collection for men focuses on rich outerwear pieces. An industry veteran, Kressley is known for his modern and sophisticated approach to fashion, which he has translated into a "classics with a twist" line of separates and accessories.
Kressley's film credits include "Thee Perfect Man" and the holiday film "The Year without a Santa Claus."
In addition to doing his part in helping to bridge the gap between peoples of different genders and sexual orientations, Kressley is an avid philanthropist, championing a wide array of charities and organizations. A strong supporter of many gay rights causes, he lends his celebrity to the Human Rights Campaign Federal Club, the 2004 AIDS Walk in New York City, GLAAD (The Gay and Lesbian Association Against Defamation), Heritage of Pride, Inc., The Trevor Project and GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network.) Kressley was a major donor in establishing the first college scholarship program for gay youth in his hometown of Allentown, Penn.
Also an advocate of medical interests and mental health causes, Kressley is a member of the Lay Advisory Board for the NYU Medical Center's Mental Illness Prevention Center and recently participated in Katie Couric's annual fund raiser for The Jay Monahan Center for Gastrointestinal Health in conjunction with The National Colorectal Cancer Research Alliance.
He recently donated his time to consult on an NYC shopping spree to the Dream Foundation, which enhances the quality of life for individuals and families battling terminal illnesses by granting dreams and wishes.
AT A GLANCE: A longtime fashion guru, Carson Kressley began his career as an independent stylist, which led to a long tenure with Polo Ralph Lauren.
