Embracing All Walks of Life
Christian Siriano, a prominent fashion designer, has always believed in showcasing beauty in all its forms. During a recent celebration for his third book, Christian Siriano: The New Red Carpet, he emphasized that the essence of the red carpet should reflect diversity. “We’re celebrating beauty from everyone — you know, age, gender, all walks of life,” he stated, pinpointing the need for inclusivity in fashion. Siriano’s approach to fashion stands apart from many designers who often limit their muse, and he aims to change that narrative.
A Peek Behind the Scenes
One of the standout features of Siriano’s book is the behind-the-scenes insight it provides into the world of red carpet fashion. He shares stories about who wore what and the real-life moments during fittings. “I tell it like it is in the book and try to give people a behind-the-scenes approach that you won’t always get,” he said. This transparency showcases his unique relationship with his clients, which he believes enhances the overall design experience.
Encouraging Fun on the Red Carpet
Siriano reflects on how the red carpet has evolved, advocating for a lighter approach. He urges viewers to enjoy the experience rather than criticize. “When people are so tough on everybody, the fantasy kind of dies a little,” he remarked, underscoring the importance of joy in fashion. Featured in his book are renowned figures like Taylor Swift and Laverne Cox, demonstrating how personal connections often lead to beautiful creations. Whether it’s through friendships or playful disputes, creating fashion remains a joyful journey for Siriano.
