Andy South is now doing more than changing things up in the fashion world.

The popular Project Runway contestant is currently living life as a woman after recently updating his Facebook profile to read "female" and announcing that he is going by the name Nong Ariyaphon Southiphong.

"Thank you to my fans and friends who have supported me all the way," the 25-year-old designer wrote on June 3, according to RadarOnline. "To my family for seeing me for me and for all the love I am surrounded with."

The Project Runway season-eight finalist can also be seen sporting makeup, dresses and long dark hair in a number of photos posted on Facebook.

"Much has changed in a year," the reality star added. "I am blessed to be accepted and welcomed just the way I am. May that love flow through me and onto many others. Live in love for the world needs it."
