Career
• Illustration — Chaka Khan wearing a Chris March dress Born on February 25, 1963, March was originally from Alameda, California, where he worked as a costume designer for the long-running musical revue, Beach Blanket Babylon. During the fourth season finale of Project Runway, March, who had become popular with avant-garde creations, gained notoriety when he showcased human hair on his designs. In the end, however, he was eliminated from showcasing at Bryant Park during New York Fashion Week. His client list included Madonna, Cirque du Soleil, Prince, Beyoncé Knowles (he constructed the costumes for her I Am... Tour), Lady Gaga, Thierry Mugler and Meryl Streep. His costuming efforts were recognized with a Drama Desk Award nomination in 2002 for Christmas With the Crawfords. March resided in New York City and appeared on several episodes of The Real Housewives of New York City as a friend of Sonja Morgan. March starred on a show about his work as a costume designer, entitled Mad Fashion, which premiered on the Bravo Network on October 4, 2011. Mad Fashion ran for ten episodes.
