My respect for him skyrocketed when Leslie Jones said that "no one would do a dress for me" on tv and the next day He called her and said "I will make a dress for you, and it will be a killer" AND IT WAS !! That red dress was a knockout on her !

[@robsan9017]

It was actually a tweet and he responded “I’ll do it!”. So awesome!

[@1957DLT]

I am stunned that this was not included as a first. Her shout-out led the charge of the curvy ladies.

[@anikapaldi7161]

His personality always shone above all others. If anyone deserved this level of success, it is Christian❤

[@myronmadey3040]

Proud of him! A genius!

[@carolchristiansen635]

I just loved him the first time I saw him. I knew he had the heart to win the show and to be very successful. I love it when I’m right about a person. Best of all he still all of the things I thought he was.❤

[@snteag]

Christian seems like such a sweetheart.

[@paulojrneto]

I remember in the Project Runway finale, Victoria Beckham saying "I want that dress!" and Christian be like, "It's yours, you can take it!".

[@andyroo9381]

Such good stories. Great fashions. Siriano always gives a great interview.

[@THATBIHHHH]

He made Project Runway known! been watching ever since he WON!

[@brandonsytes8373]

When Christen designed & sewed his collection for the PR Finale in a tiny 400 square foot apartment (🤯🤯), it instantly clicked w/ me that Christen would go beyond the show. If he could put together a spectacular collection like that in such a cramped space, it showed he had drive, persistence & creativity to make it work in difficult spaces - and - that was going to take Christen places.

[@arranadams2776]

To think he was on season 4 - the early seasons, for me, has so many memorable people ❤️💙😘

[@dorothyedwards7225]

I remember watching him on Project Runway. So talented!

[@QbnAmCan]

Not just talented but he is a great human being. He includes everyone in his designs. Nice guy!

[@M0odyBlue]

Nobody did ruffles like Christian. Stunning gowns.

[@JR-cj3jm]

He is good heart un the fashion business!!!!

[@robertlandry5676]

A talented designer 🎭

[@jerryjaguar3239]

i wish christian siriano did a crop top moment with janet for her tour. That section that he dressed her on the tour was the fun colourful section that needed a crop top janet moment with her abs out

[@mariafargeorge1202]

My fave evening dress is one that Juliana Rancek (sp) wore at an awards show...if I remember right! It was striped...green and black I think...gorgeous!!!!

[@salyol7]

A very young talented designer and seems nice

[@robbieogle8622]

I remember his designs on that show.

[@erictheisen3203]

Looks great to me!

[@jawonthegemini]

I started watching project runway recently and started watching some of the older seasons. Oh my those outfits back then were so basic and trash looking compared to now. They were gagging over it back then and I’m literally like that’s what they were making and winning? Lol
He is really talented and funny in his season.

[@AJMom2007]

His best friend is Alicia Siilverstone

[@JesusWarriorBush]

I love you beautiful wife Jenna ❤️

[@ChrisBronson-gn5yd]

😎👌
💥🏆💥

[@patricias5122]

He actually does NOT dress women of all sizes....he does NOT dress petite sized women. He, being of short stature himself, should be truly inclusive, and include designs for petite women under 5'6.

[@nononononononono411noonetoldme]

"Sassy"

[@scf7334]

God, Honda is annoying.

[@kalanioney5136]

You ain’t lying, I can’t stand Hoda,

[@user-ku4sd6np6c]

But what is on his head?????

[@tbatt2470]

But that hairstyle, since day one. Why?

[@tototita413]

I'm allergic to that queen he is so nasty

[@robsan9017]

He’s on is way to being one of the greatest American designers likes of Lauren, Ford etc. It’s amazing to watch - so dang proud of this young American boy from Annapolis Maryland ❤🙏

[@josmith9789]

The Billy Porter dress…which I like to call the “Ursula from Little Mermaid dress”…

[@MTalbot-f5t]

hoda and jenna are so annoying.

[@gorgeous6737]

"Fierce"....

[@patrickmacdonald5539]

I took... .... espresso martinis LOL

[@JohnSmith-qj6bj]

Yeah,I caught that too.

[@jairomy]

What a genius! Love Christian!

[@JenniferParkman-yq7ho]

Just love u Christian

[@spencerbeaker3983]

They should have asked him why he said Rihanna deserved the beating Chris Brown gave her.

[@LeeSahh]

How is Leslie Jones’ look and backstory with Christian not HOF worthy?
