Christian Siriano

LESLIE JONES: PULL UP TO THE BUMPER, BABY!

Who, in a million years, would have guessed that the Project Runway winner in 2008 would go on to be named by Time magazine as one of The Most Influential People of 2018? Diminutive designer Christian Siriano made all the right moves on the show – and afterward. He started his own business with his winnings and has become a red carpet darling. And he’s not too uppity to dress women larger than a size 2. In fact, when he heard that SNL star Leslie Jones had nothing to wear to her Ghostbusters premier in 2016, (designers snubbed her) he volunteered to dress her and they’ve been besties ever since. He also created her Grace Jones tribute outfit for the Time 100 Gala.

CHRISTINA HENDRICKS DOESN’T NEED A STYLIST TO DRESS HER

In the past, nobody paid much attention to the Creative Emmys because they’re not televised and considered secondary to the real Emmys. Attendees didn’t fret so much about what to wear. But when Christina Hendricks from Mad Men showed up this year looking ravishing, she raised the bar and stole the show. Her fabulous black silk layered gown was designed especially for her by Project Runway winner Christian Siriano, who IS a winner, indeed. Christina is one of his best customers – she wore his peach ruffled frock to the 2010 Golden Globes. One last note: it is refreshing to see a pretty woman without any visible tattoos.

CHRISTINA HENDRICKS AND PATRICIA ARQUETTE: SOME MAKE BETTER GOLDEN GLOBES CHOICES THAN OTHERS

Our favorite Golden Globes look and our least favorite look are both on TV actresses. “Mad Men” star Christina Hendricks loves Project Runway and got hooked on winner Christian Siriano’s glam designs. (Keep in mind it’s more of a challenge to dress a voluptuous woman than a skinny model-type.) He did this fluffy peach dress that makes her look like a sugary confection. The color is delectable on her. Christina love vintage also and she shops the vintage clothing shows for her personal wardrobe.

Medium star Patricia Arquette made a bad choice in this gray dress – there’s a lot going on here and none of it is good. This drab and drapey choice makes an adorable actress look matronly and more like a librarian than a TV star. She’s not as old as this dress makes her look.

Project Runway favorite Christian Siriano has been worried about how he’s going to make a living. Despite his successful Bryant Park show, the economic downturn has NOT helped his business. Payless Shoes came to the rescue and signed him up to design a line of low price shoes and handbags for next season. Christian is looking on the bright side – he’s grateful. He said that his fans are young and usually can’t afford his designs, but now everybody will be able to buy his brand.

Project Runway season 4 winner Christian Siriano’s show was a hot ticket at NY’s Fashion Week. It was a small but interesting collection – many of the outfits were black skinny pants and ruffled or puffy jackets. We could picture Christian wearing most of them himself. Tim Gunn loved his designs and described Christian as “Marc Jacobs for the next generation.” When Fern Mallis, who’s in charge of Fashion Week, heard Tim’s comment she remarked “It’s a bit early to be making those assumptions.”

PROJECT RUNWAY WINNER CHRISTIAN SIRIANO GETS BOOZED UP AND KICKED OUT

Looks like Project Runway winner Christian Siriano has been celebrating a bit TOO much – he got himself booted out of a restaurant. Last week he was in San Francisco and turned up at Askew Grill with a group of friends. A witness told us “Christian looked like a disaster – his hair was flat and messy, he looked pale and queasy, and two friends were holding him up and helping him walk.” It was only around 8 but he looked totally drunk. Restaurant patrons got very excited to see the pint-sized designer and began to mill about hoping for autographs and photos. He was hustled to a private corner on the patio and admirers were shooed away. Soon after, he leaned over and started puking into a planter! Other diners were revolted and the irate owner rushed over and ordered Christian’s friends to “Get him out of here now!”

PROJECT RUNWAY'S CHRISTIAN SIRIANO DOES HOLLYWOOD

Project Runway winner Christian Siriano made a big splash on his visit to Los Angeles. He brought an array of fashions to show to his idol Victoria Beckham in anticipation of having fittings and taking orders from her. He landed a cameo playing himself on Ugly Betty, and he gushed to WWD that a woman he met at a fancy party asked him to make her wedding dress. “I took one look at her ring and was like “Let’s go, girl!”

PROJECT RUNWAY'S CHRISTIAN SIRIANO AND HIS BOYFRIEND ARE TWO OF A KIND

Did you ever get the feeling that Project Runway winner Christian Siriano is channeling Audrey Hepburn? Especially in the movie Funny Face. Anyway, this is Christian’s boyfriend Brad Walsh who’s a photographer and the editor of Junk mag online. They look like they belong together, don’t they? Brad sometimes gets overwhelmed by Christians fans and fame. “People scream out his name in the street!”
