He is so awesome! He doesn't notice differences in women deserving to be lovely. And he doesn't even notice the rules. Christian only notices that he broke a rule when it is pointed out to him. How awesome. Thank you from my art and even soul.
I LOVE him. He walks by my boutique in Ridgefield, CT sometime. Never came in yet, but still. Iloved him since day one on Project Runway. Wish you a very successful career.
I adore Christian for his honesty, humbleness, perseverance and talent. He deserves to be recognized as Designer of the Century.
The great thing about Billy's Oscar gown is that he exudes masculinity, fluidly. He wore the gown it didn't wear him

B.Porter's gown was jaw-dropping.
I love this guy! He's just always been truly a breath of fresh air in this stiff, stodgy industry of fashion. Love to witness him as he evolves--yet remaining true to himself!
Love Christian Siriano. And that interviewer did a great job. Interesting questions and allowed him to answer.
I adore Christian! Fell in love with his sweet spirit on Project Runway when he was a contestant! There is kindness in him...as someone who was made fun of in high school I felt Christian would have been a friend! I am 73 now, and still remember those hard times. Glad Christian is successful!

Suzanne Robbins wow! U said everything I’d like to have said. I absolutely luv him ( not in a sexual way, plus I know he’s not into girls). I loved many of the early PR. Remember that guy, seasons before Christian, who annoyed all the others & did imitations of like Tim Gunn. Santino! His name came to me as I was writing this lol. Those early PR’s were so fun. I too am so happy he became successful. Lots of times ppl win these type shows, then u never hear from them again......glad we hear about him😃. I liked his spiky hair back then. He’s awesome!

He is so talented and I could see that after the first two or three episodes of PR! I remember when Tim went to his apartment before the finale and it was so tiny and yet he had his “studio” in that apartment. He told Tim he had everything in that tiny apartment because he was so broke. I’m so glad he made it big. He deserves it! Love CS! ❤️

Veronica Reyes I’m 100% with u! I’m happy they chose him after Tim & Heidi abandoned this show. The little show that became huge hit. Now we get to CS every week!! How lucky are we?😃. I remember his very humble beginnings too & couldn’t understand how he did what he did in that small space. It was like if u turned around, ya hit yourself, but he.....made it work. Look at him now. Feel like a proud mama bear even tho he don’t know me but I always rooted for him & I used to get so mad, each season I’d have a fave & they’d come in 2nd or 3rd but his season, I feel I finally hit the jackpot....more importantly.....he did!😊

KZread Luver I am glad you loved him too! We both saw his sweet spirit! He still has it even after his success! Good luck to you! Hugs!
Christian Siriano is FANTASTIC
This was such a great Interview. Alison did such an amazing job of asking really well-thought-out in depth questions. And I really enjoyed Christian's perspective.
I wish more designer would think all women are worth designing for like Christian Siriano.

He slaaaays! That's why he is so successful because he cares about woman and he stll seems like the same old CS that won PR back in ' 08.
Not only is he talented, Christian is bright and articulate! Interview gives good insights into success.

I will say I wanted Rami to win PR, but now I really see CS is a very talented, thoughtful and skillful designer that holds no bias.

Love this man. Bright, articulate, compassionate and oh so talented! I have been a fan since day one as a contestant on PR and love watching him as a mentor. He works hard and deserves much success.
🍃💙NAMASTE! I WILL ALWAYS LOVE U CHRISTIAN 💙🍃
I love his stick pin.
I am not into dressing fashionably at all, but I do admire CS.
He’s just fun to be around and his talent and personality meld.
Such a cutie in his childhood photos!
my favorite designer since day 1
Love him 💕 love this interview 💕
Christian was/is ahead of his time. His thoughts are right on. Best of continued success. 💕
Love this guy. He's humble yet very smart on what fashion is all about. Love all his clothes.
I really appreciate this great interview. Love him. He motivates me to hunker down and be better at my craft!
His hand holding his mother's hand in childhood picture BEAUTIFUL
Christian was my Favorite Contestant on Runway his comment about designing for who he feels like he wants to. I love his outlook and am so glad he designs for all not just a few.
I love Christian, he is so talented and he is a born star. I remember watching him on Project Runway. He made the program more fun by his presence . He is also such a hard worker and very business savvy.
My favorite Christian Siriano interview. A great, intelligent interviewer as well with Alison. Christian is a prodigy.
Christian don't change. You are such a lovely and soulful human being. Keep dressing the simple folk. ❤
I love this kid. I wish just wonderful experiences for him. What a special being.
That surrealist design is really wondrous...and the eye winks! Lol
I really really like him! I wish he was my friend. :))
He is still fierce
I wish Christian Siriano would make me, a short, heavy, older woman, a dress.
Such a talent. Knew he would go far after PRWY.
He is so adult now love him❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Such an inspiration...
I bought a cute pair of shoes from Christian Siriano-payless collab.
Great interview !!!
I would love just one of his drawings since I could not afford his designs. I would look at his drawing and dream no matter how bad my day may be.
Thank God for you.❤❤❤❤
Utterly unpretentious. Authenticity poster boy. Love him and his work.
What a lovely young man!
WOW WOW WHAT A GREAT HUMAN BEINGS 💋💋💋💋💋♥️♥️♥️♥️
His work is stunning! xo
He is sssoooo cool.
I remember when he was on runway, and thinking he had design chops but not the construction / finishing skills. Either I was wrong or he learned alot in a very short time. Proving where there is a will there is a way.
I love you Christian
luv himmm....realtalk
Cute!
Sooo Fierce Baby LOL
how is he famous?????
Christian is the Antithesis of Mr. Tim Gunn. THAT is NOT a compliment.
Stop throwing the word 'iconic' around so much! It's losing it's meaning the way you use it so easily to describe people who have not been around long enough or done enough to be 'iconic'! I love Christian, but HE IS NOT ICONIC!!!

Definition of iconic 1: of, relating to, or having the characteristics of an icon 2a: widely recognized and well-established an iconic brand name b: widely known and acknowledged especially for distinctive excellence I think the definition suits him. Longevity is not the issue.
