It’s like lessons on how to stay relevant. It is hardly fashion news, but I had to share the fallen ego of the Project Runway winner.
Christian Siriano, winner of Heidi Klum Minions Work for Free show, has inked a deal with Payless shoes. He is known for openly bashing other designers. His favorite victims are those ho bags from “The Hills” who call themselves designers. At one point he was designing garb for Victoria Beckham, Heidi Klum, Vanessa Williams and celebs of that nature.
On his way “up” he has signed a deal with the affordable shoe store for a line of shoes and handbags due in fall 2009.
“I’m so excited to design and create with such an amazing brand that is all about fashion and trend but, most importantly, is also about affordability,” said Siriano. “I’ve already been working with the Payless Design Team in New York, and I can’t wait to see how they will take the high- end shoes and bags I’m designing for the runway and turn them into pieces that everyone can buy. I’m all about the runway and the sidewalks!”
You can get your recycled idealism in shoe form for the bargain price of $25-$45 next February. His collection for the shoe source will be featured in his New York show.
Is it just me or is he like the next Isaac Mizrahi?
