Project Runway Season 21 Winner Veejay Floresca Is Engaged

The Filipino American fashion designer and Project Runway season 21 champion announced her engagement on Facebook on Saturday, Jan. 31, alongside two black-and-white photos with her fiancé, whose name she did not share.

“Thinking of a perfect caption, but i can’t think of anything. All I know is im ready to spend the rest of my life with you. ❤️,” Floresca wrote.

In the first photo, Floresca rests her left hand on her fiancé’s chest, proudly flashing her new engagement ring. In the second photo, the pair look lovingly into each other’s eyes as they enjoy a meal together.

A few days later, on Monday, Feb. 2, the bride-to-be appeared to still be in newly engaged bliss as she captioned an Instagram carousel, “A month full of love. ❤️.” In the post, she shared a few sweet photos with her partner, as well as a peek at some eveningwear and bridal looks she’s working on.

Floresca has kept her romance mostly out of the spotlight, but occasionally posts snippets of her relationship on social media.

During her appearance on Good Morning America in September, Floresca gushed over her incredible Project Runway win last year, which she described as a “dream.” It was a historical moment in the design competition series as it marked the first win for a Filipino American and transgender woman.

“Being the first Filipino American, trans woman of color to win this iconic competition is a celebration of authenticity. With what’s going on in our country, I think that being there representing my community, it feels amazing,” Floresca said. “And I tell everybody that fashion is a safe space for everybody. We celebrate diversity, inclusivity. So, I feel honored to be the first person to represent my community.”
