Christian Siriano first found fame when he won the fourth season ofProject Runway.
His designs were unique and caught the eye of the judges and audience of the reality show.
But recently there hasn’t been much buzz surrounding the designer.
Is he still focused on fashion?
Are celebrities still eyeing his designs?
The answer to those questions isyes.
He’s working hard behind the scenes to expand his brand and give focus to sizes beyond zero.
Let’s take a closer look as to why you don’t hear about Siriano anymore.
He married musician Brad Walsh in July 2016 attheir vacation housein Connecticut.
The couple had specific reasons for choosing their location.
While his looks are in many stores, they are missing from some high-end shops.
When you’re working that hard, there isn’t as much time to be in the spotlight yourself.
During an interviewwith theHouston Chronicle, Siriano spoke to the importance of hard work for success.
He said, “My biggest thing is you just have to work hard.
You have to be obsessed with it because it’s a really tough business.”
He lets his designs speak for themselves
Siriano has been known for his dramatic fashion.
They are his calling card.
However, Siriano has created some looks that may not automatically be associated with his usual look.
For instance, for the 2016 Democratic National Convention, Michelle Obama wore one of Siriano’s numbers.
This blue dress was elegant and sophisticated, but it wasn’t a dramatic ball gown.
This has not been a norm in the fashion world, where size zero is the common sample size.
Taking the time to do this also means not being in the spotlight as much.
Siriano takes the time to give focus to all sizes.
He works hard to be able to give more options to the customer.
The book shows a variety of looks that Siriano has designed throughout the years.
Some of my favorite dresses in the book are just favorites, that maybe nobody has ever worn.
I just like them."
He had a goal he wanted to achieve with the book.
He said, “I want to show that all these women can like look beautiful in my clothes.
That’s always been really important.
This is just what Siriano has been working on as well.
And what was the designer’s inspiration for his new line?
According toVogue, the lineup is full of crowd-pleasers an we can’t say we’re surprised.
The designer created five different looks for the inclusive body pop in line thatwas launchedfor Barbie last year.
AsPeopleshared, some of the looks were based on Siriano’s actual designs for celebrities over the years.
HetoldPeople, “I don’t go after the young, new It Girl.
As hetold theHouston Chronicle, he is a doing a new collaborate with e.l.f.
In addition to that collaboration, Siriano ended up getting involved with another new product: press-on nails.
What inspired the designer to go down this path?
It began with a negative experience.
He shared, “It started from New York Fashion Week.
The models backstage had really horrible nails from other shows and things.
We needed to find something quick.
So I worked with this company, and we were able to do it so fast.
That’s why these nails are awesome.
Literally, you put them on, and then you take them off.”
