Designer Christian Siriano the New Fashion House
Christian Siriano launched his eponymous collection in 2008. The Christian Siriano collection is shown each season at New York Fashion Week, and presented in New York and Paris to retailers. Known for whimsical and show-stopping design – from fantasy evening gowns and cocktail dresses to tailored sportswear, intricately detailed shoes and accessories – the collection can be found at department stores and specialty boutiques around the globe. In 2012, the first flagship Christian Siriano store opened in New York City, and in 2013 he was inducted as a member of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA).
Dubbed “the new king of old-school glamour” by Elle and “the next billion-dollar designer” by Yahoo! Style, his designs have appeared on the world’s biggest stars and most prestigious red carpets. He counts entertainment’s leading ladies as clients, from stars of film (Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johansson, Julianne Moore, Viola Davis, Amy Adams, Drew Barrymore, Lupita Nyong’o, Priyanka Chopra, Gwyneth Paltrow, Sarah Jessica Parker, Shailene Woodley, Emily Blunt) to icons of music (Rihanna, Janet Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, Celine Dion, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj, Carrie Underwood) to stars of television (Kerry Washington, Tina Fey, Jessica Lange, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Emma Roberts, Christina Hendricks, Heidi Klum, Oprah Winfrey) and icons of fashion (First Lady Michelle Obama, Victoria Beckham, Kim Kardashian West, Alexa Chung, Dita Von Teese, Kate Upton, Ashley Graham, Coco Rocha, Gigi & Bella Hadid, Chrissy Teigen), to name just a few.

He was named “Designer of the Year” at the 2016 AAFA American Image Awards and won the Couture For A Cause “Designer of the Decade” award that same year.
