Kevin, 30, is a first-generation Italian-American born and raised in Fairfield, New Jersey, who currently resides in New York City. Kevin's family hails from Ciminna, Sicily and is made up of many tailors and seamstresses. He was taught to sew by his aunt Ida Lasusa, and thinks it's no surprise that his design aesthetic combines classic European tailoring with his own edgy twist. Kevin draws inspiration from daily life in Gotham city and his travels around the world.

Kevin studied at New York City's Fashion Institute of Technology, where he won the "Menswear Designer of the Year" grant. He worked for his cousin and designer, Susana Monaco, for six years before branching off to start his own line.

Kevin is the head designer and partner of the labels KEVIN CHRISTIANA and KJEANS. Kevin's collections have sold to approximately 200 boutiques nationwide and KJEANS debuted on the cover of the Victoria’s Secret fall 2006 catalog.
