This is from Season 17, Episode 3 "All the Rage." If you don't have cable, you can hear Kovid's explanation of his "look" here at the 45:45 mark: https://watchseries.mn/watch-tv/watch-project-runway-online-39345.5370271 He was born in India and currently lives in Brooklyn, NY. https://www.bravotv.com/people/kovid-kapoor Interesting that Huff Post ran this story and that the same people involved with Huff are the same people involved with Fact Check who play it down. https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-project-runway-kovid-idUSKBN28E2B0 And his website is "Kovid Lab" - wonder if he named it that before or after: https://kovidlab.com/about Great find.
