Christina McKinney
The Mode seamstress is a close to normal as it's possible to be in a building full of size zero women obsessed with food and clothes. No matter how stressed her day, she's usually got time to help Betty out with advice, tips, a shoulder to cry on and memorably, a trip to a notorious strip club. They were undercover okay?

She’s in charge of 'The Closet', and as such wields ultimate power for the staff when she gives away key pieces from designer collections in the quarterly wardrobe clear-out. This even extends to Wilhelmina because she is the only person in the world who knows Willie's real dress size.

However, sometimes you need favours to get out of the basement and onto the runway as one of the Mode Top Ten Designers to Watch, and Willie is more than happy to give Christina that opportunity. But favours need repaying, and how far is she is willing to go for her shot at fame?
