22-year-old Christian Siriano presented his collection to Project Runway judges, including Posh Spice, Victoria Beckham, on the Season 4 finale and took home the top prize, which includes a six page Elle spread, a Saturn Astra and $100,000.
“I’m humbled,” he said in a phone interview hours before Part 2 of the finale aired. “Project Runway the show, with the challenges, that’s my game. I can make clothes quickly and I can make clothes creatively.” But Project Runway at New York Fashion Week? “I was really nervous. … It was a really scary thing. I only planned to win. I didn’t know what I was going to do with my life if I didn’t win.”
Siriano, from Annapolis, MD, is the youngest winner of Bravo’s hit reality series, and became a fan favorite early on.
To borrow Siriano’s catch phrase – “that’s fierce.”
Christian sat down with Regis and Kelly and talked about the challenges, his nerves during fashion week, and his win.
