Christian Siriano talks about the 'Project Runway' outcome

Project Runway winner Christian Siriano took time out from celebrating in New York tonight to answer a few questions from The Sun. The 22-year-old Annapolis native now has $100,000 and national stage to start his own line.

So what’s is your next move?

Honestly, I’m really going to be working on my collection for next season. I’m going to show in Fashion Week again for spring. I’m just starting to work really hard on that. And it can be more of a show than you saw tonight. It’s going to be amazing. That’s the goal.

Are you going to finally buy a bed or more clothes?

That’s the first purchase, a bed — and fabulous pair of shoes. I definitely need those.

Victoria Beckham was a huge fan of yours. How did that make you feel?


It’s pretty amazing. She’s like a dream client and she’s such a muse. It was perfect. It was everything I wanted. Undeniably perfect.

During the finale you lost a bit of your swagger and were a little more gracious about the competition. What changed? 

I was competing against amazing designers. Jillian and Rami are so talented. I wanted them to know that I cared about them and I think the world of them. I was just humbled, really.

How did you feel about the finale being straightforward and not having any twists or gimmicks like past seasons?

I think it was really respectful because we’re real designers, and it didn’t need to be that kind of show. It was a real fashion show during real Fashion Week. It was so much better.

You made a big splash on the show; is there more reality TV in future?

I’m not a big reality TV fan, but you never know. I could see a little sitcom or a little movie for me. We’ll see how it goes.
