Quotes by Christian Siriano
Christian Siriano's insights on:
We have dresses that I actually think look better if you have more of a bust or more of a hip... or whatever it is. That's why, in a collection, it should be as diverse as you can be. I think there should be options for a lot of different types of bodies and women.
There's no one piece everyone should avoid, but obviously there are some things that don't fit the right way on everyone.
Now, with social media, it's a whole different world, which is good and bad. Back when I was in college, when there was no Twitter, no one knew what Vera Wang looked like - there was no face to the brand.
I'm really not into casual clothes for a cocktail party. I like to see fun people, having fun, in fun clothes.
When you're an adult designer, you're either running a business, or you're helping someone else's business run. Either way, that's a lot of pressure.
I hate the terminology of 'costume' because my clothes are not costumes at all. I think they're high fashion, avant-garde, and more couture, definitely, and yes, some of my pieces are not particularly wearable, but I wouldn't say they're costumes, I'd say they're more couture.
We sell in Moda Operandi, which, if you don't know what it is, it's a beautiful luxury site that does pre-trunk shows for designer collections. We got them to change their algorithm online to go up to a size 24.
