Guerra is an American fashion designer from Denver, Colorado who finished as runner-up on Project Runway (Season 8) and later won the first season of Project Runway All Stars!

A fifth-generation Denver local, Guerra was the first “Project Runway” contestant to come out of the state of Colorado. Guerra said that in both of his competitive seasons on “Project Runway”, he was challenged to make a no-fabric outfit - first, using only materials from a party store, and the second time using only materials from a dollar store.

Having participated in this type of competition at the highest level, Guerra knows what he is looking for when he awards the grand prize.

“I think it's really important for contestants to manipulate the material to a point where it doesn't look like it used to be,” Guerra said.

“I also give credit for creativity. I definitely am a stickler on execution, always look for that, but if it's a really good idea I kind of let the execution go because the creativity is very strong.”
