Click HEREto see a few looks from Christian Siriano's Spring 2011 collection.
Christian Siriano began designing at just thirteen years old and attended the Baltimore School for the Arts and the American Intercontinental University in London, where he interned with punk legend Vivienne Westwood, and with Alexander McQueen. Upon returning to the United States and moving to New York City, Christian's break came when he earned a spot on season four of Bravo's hit program Project Runway. He became the show's youngest winner, fan favorite, and a rising star in the fashion industry with his clothing sold in Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, and stores around the world
Christian shows a full collection every season at New York Fashion Week, with past shows being sponsored by LG, Sprint, Victoria's Secret, Cibu International, and Aveda. He has designed for Rihanna, Heidi Klum, Victoria Beckham, Lady GaGa, Vanessa Williams, Christina Hendricks, Pink, Estelle, Mena Suvari, Kelly Rowland, Becki Newton, Kat DeLuna, and Whoopi Goldberg in her role as host of the 2008 Tony Awards. Oprah Winfrey calls his designs "works of art." Tim Gunn calls him "a prodigy" and "the next great American fashion designer."
Christian's current projects include joining Isabel Toledo, Alice + Olivia, and Patricia Field in creating an ongoing line of shoes and bags for Payless which first became available in September 2009. He also created a line of makeup for Victoria's Secret for stores in the fall of 2009, a limited edition design collaboration for Starbucks for the 2009 holiday season, and a collaboration last year with Puma. Between his design projects, Christian has also written a style guide titled Fierce Style: How to Be Your Most Fabulous Self, available now, and he embarked on a book tour in the fall of 2009.

The dress above was McKell's creation made from a shirt and some additional fabric, and in my opinion, this should not have been the losing design. I thought it was a cute dress when I saw it. And the judges sent other people through who had done FAR less. Click HERE for a recap and to see a slideshow of Project Runway's season premiere's designs.

via NYMag: Heidi Klum is a woman of her word. When Project Runway contestant Emilio Sosa created a dress with her in mind for the episode that aired on April 1 and subsequently won, Klum promised to wear the look on the red carpet. She followed through last night when she attended the premiere of The Back-Up Plan in Westwood, California wearing the dress that she called "simple, but sexy at the same time." Klum shortened the metallic gown to knee-length, and paired it with purple-and-black sandal stilettos. Her timing was impeccably synergistic, as the show's season finale airs tonight and Sosa is the front-runner. How do you think it looks off the runway?

Tim Gunn (Project Runway) was on Late Night with Craig Ferguson recently talking about clothes for different body types, skinny models and all kinds of stuff in between. Tim and I TOTALLY see eye to eye when he says"the simpler the clothes the more impact they have" and that "anyone can look fantastic. It's a matter of silhouette, proportion and fit" and this folks, is why I heart Tim Gunn.
