Carson Lee Kressley was born on 11 November 1969 in Allentown,
Pennsylvania, USA. Growing up, he was very interested in horses and
owned his first pony (named Sparky) when he was five years old. Carson
still loves horses and is now a world champion equestrian. In 1987, he
graduated high school and went on to study at Gettysburg College from
which he graduated in 1991 (magna cum laude and phi beta kappa) with
degrees in Finance and Fine Arts. Following his college graduation,
Carson worked as a stylist for
Ralph Lauren
for many years before auditioning for
Queer Eye (2003).
In 2004, after Carson's first year with "Queer Eye", the show won an
Emmy for "outstanding reality program". Post "Queer Eye" Carson
appeared as the critically acclaimed host of "How to Look Good Naked"
and a fan favorite contestant on Dancing with the Stars 13th season. In
April 2012 Shop NBC launched Carson's collection of affordable glamour
wear, "Love, Carson".
