Prior to national recognition as a season 8 Project Runway contestant, Christopher Collins was already gaining recognition as an emerging designer that multiple publications noted as "someone to watch." As a Gen Art honoree and a "Resident Talent" for Lucky Magazine, Christopher Collins is becoming an unstoppable force in fashion. In Fall 2008, Christopher Collins founded Christopher Collins™ with lifetime friend and award winning filmmaker, Erica Tanamachi. Made in San Francisco, each garment demonstrates quality, luxury, high fashion and femininity with a fit that rival the greatest in the industry.

Christopher Collins™ continuously crafts pieces with tailored Elizabethan collars and flattering silhouettes with luxurious fabrics from Italy, France and Japan. Growing in popularity, the sophomore collection was showcased at Gen Art and received rave reviews. Celebrities such as Jennifer Siebel Newsom, Stephanie March and Aimee Garcia wear the Christopher Collins brand and the collection can be found at boutiques throughout the United States. Pieces have also been featured on the cover of SF Chronicle, Marin Magazine and Bare Magazine and inside multiple local and national publications including but not limited to Lucky Magazine, Apparel News, Daily Candy and 944 Magazine. Fall 2010 is the Fifth collection for the brand and offers the Christopher Collins woman timeless pieces that will take her from day into night looking "effortlessly elegant."
