So when I tell you, whether it’s on TV or just in a class, that Ariana Grande isn’t going to wear something, it’s not a guess! It’s experience. And look, when I leave the set, I go to my office and I’m reading emails from Lizzo’s team about a dress she needs. “I understand wanting to be true to your own creative voice,” Siriano says, “but because fashion is also a business, new designers-these kids at SCAD, the contestants on the show-they need practical advice! So many designers say they want to dress celebrities. This makes him an indisputable man of the people. Models may come in all shapes and sizes, but they all dazzle in the same pricey designs from Siriano and his latest jewelry partner, Luminous Diamonds.īut although Siriano’s creations are (justifiably) costly, his advice is often free, whether it’s to the SCAD students eagerly awaiting to speak to him, or to viewers of Project Runway, where Siriano serves as a mentor to the contestants-even (and sometimes especially) when they think they’re above any feedback. On the runway, his shows expertly toe the line between an “all-in-this-together” ethos and a super elite front row with style icons like Cardi B, Katie Holmes, and Lil’ Kim. To be fair, Siriano’s clothes are inherently luxurious they are rarified luxury goods with price tags to match. You must include every shape-every person who wants to look beautiful!’ That’s why it’s called ‘People Are People’-it’s a mantra.” ![]() And even though I’m a young designer and this is a young brand, it was very important to me to show the next generation, ‘You can do this.

Formally titled “People Are People,” it’s officially open at the SCAD Museum of Art. “So I’m not going by ‘retrospective.’ I’m just calling it, ‘The First Decade.’”Ĭall it what you want, but the exhibit is a big one. “I’m only 35! I get that to these kids, it sounds ancient-remember when we were students? Thirty was this impossible number. “I cringe when I hear the word ‘museum retrospective,’” he says. It’s also a bit of a trip, at least for Siriano himself. It’s his first-ever museum show, after all, and that is, as Silverstone puts it, “a huge deal, and so deserved.” She’s here to see Christian like everyone else, albeit as a friend instead of a fan.
