We\u2019ve had a lot of really great moments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cProject Runway\u201d winner also took a moment to give some style tips for Pride month.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think what\u2019s great about Pride is \u2026 it\u2019s one of those times that people really embrace themselves,\u201d he told us. \u201cYou get to be whoever you want to be, even if you have a 9-5 office job, or whatever it is. I like that you can wear what you want to wear.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>He continued, \u201cIt\u2019s like, the young generation of kids that are afraid to be themselves are like, \u2018No, I\u2019m this person.
