Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on November 11, 1971)

Happy Birthday, Daniel Franco! From your unforgettable double appearance on Project Runway—because clearly one season wasn't enough to showcase all that fabulousness—to your impeccable style and charm, you've stitched yourself permanently into our hearts. Who else could make fashion drama look so effortlessly chic?

Here's wishing you another year filled with creativity, laughter, and runway-worthy moments. May the coming seasons bring even more success than ever before—and perhaps fewer critiques from judges (though we secretly loved those too!). Keep dazzling us with designs as timelessly stylish as you are hilarious; after all these years you're still "making it work!"
