Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on January 14, 1972)

Happy birthday, Keith Michael! From sewing spectacular garments to raising eyebrows during your iconic (some might say controversial!) appearance on Project Runway Season 3, you've always stitched up drama and creativity in equal measure. Who else could make fashion look this boldly stylish while mastering the art of keeping Tim Gunn perpetually concerned?

Despite all the runway tension, your fearless individuality and unapologetic craftsmanship continue to inspire new designers—even if they're nervously checking their patterns twice! May you celebrate another year packed with innovation, flair, and perhaps fewer reality TV fiascos—unless we've learned nothing about what makes good television. Here's to you!
