Anthony Williams Jr

Anthony L. Williams, Jr (born c. 1981 in Birmingham) is a freelance designer and a contestant on season 7 of "Project Runway", a television show which pits aspiring fashion designers against each other in judged competitions.

Williams grew up in the Cooper Green Homes and Loveman Village public housing projects and in Titusville. He is a graduate of Minor High School and earned a degree at the University of Alabama. He now resides in Atlanta, Georgia.

During the course of Project Runway, Williams was nearly eliminated twice early in the season, but rebounded by winning a week five challenge to design a dress for Heidi Klum to wear on the cover of Marie Claire magazine.
