He launched a namesake label, Christian Siriano (2008), was named one of Crain’s top 40 Entrepreneurs Under 40 (2010), opened his flagship store in Manhattan’s Nolita neighborhood (2012), and after a second attempt, was inducted into the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) in 2013. Since 2008, Christian has been on an uphill swing. The win garnered him a spread in Elle Magazine, a 2008 Saturn Astra and $100,000 to start his own fashion label. With talent and a fierce attitude, Christian went on to become the winner of the show’s fourth season (march 2008). While interning for Marc Jacobs, Christian auditioned for project runway and was chosen to become one of the contestants. Upon graduation, he moved to New York and worked as a freelance make-up artist and made wedding gowns for private clients. By the time he graduated, Christian struck gold with internships at famed fashion houses such as, Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen. This occurrence would have stopped others in their tracks, but Christian moved on to plan b and decided to study abroad at American Intercontinental University in London, England. When Christian applied to the famed Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York, he was denied admission. Thanks to encouragement he received from his parents to enter the creative field, Christian gained an interest in costume design, and began designing and sewing clothes for the annual hair show at Bubbles Hair Salon – where he worked as a shampoo assistant throughout high school. He was born and raised in Annapolis, Maryland, and started his journey to the runway when he was a teenager studying fashion design at the Baltimore School for the Arts.
