Christian Siriano

Founded in 2008, Christian Siriano launched his namesake label shortly after becoming the youngest winner of Project Runway at age 21. The brand quickly established itself through dramatic couture techniques, sculptural tailoring, vibrant color palettes, and red carpet gowns worn by celebrities around the world. Unlike many luxury designers, Siriano made size inclusivity a core part of his business from its early years. The brand regularly dresses women across a broad spectrum of body types and has become known for creating custom gowns for clients who have historically been overlooked by luxury fashion. Siriano has publicly stated that expanding into plus sizes significantly grew his business, and he continues to advocate for long-term inclusivity throughout the fashion industry rather than treating it as a trend. Christian Siriano is celebrated for dressing celebrities including Leslie Jones, Billy Porter, Danielle Brooks, Ashley Graham, Laverne Cox, Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, and Whoopi Goldberg. His runway shows consistently feature one of the most diverse casts at New York Fashion Week, including plus-size, petite, mature, and disabled models. Today, the brand produces luxury ready-to-wear, bridal, couture, accessories, home décor, and limited lifestyle collections. Many ready-to-wear styles are available through size 28, making Christian Siriano one of the few American luxury designers to consistently offer extended sizing alongside straight sizes.
