Armando Thomas “Mondo” Guerra is an American fashion designer who finished as runner-up on Season 8 of Project Runway and later won the series’ first season of Project Runway All Stars. His eye for innovative style and bold prints enamored the fashion world, but his courageous activism for HIV has inspired others to dare to dream, creating visibility in an industry that operates behind closed door.
