Jay McCarroll

Hummingbird

Restless creative genius buzzing at full throttle always.

Jay McCarroll, the eccentric, wildly inventive winner of Project Runway Season 1, is a quintessential hummingbird — perpetually buzzing with creative energy, darting from idea to idea with infectious enthusiasm and irreverent humor. His refusal to follow conventional fashion industry rules, his rapid-fire wit, and his inability to stay still or stay conventional all scream hummingbird. Even his famous decision to initially decline the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund prize rather than compromise his creative independence shows someone who moves entirely on their own frenetic, unstoppable frequency.
