He went on to dress eight women for the Emmys that fall, across a variety of ages, races, body types and styles.Īt the same time that they brought on this really strong fashion mentor who is as current as current gets, the producers cast contestants who were, for the most part, pleasant. His clothes appeared on red carpets more and more, and he got a new wave of attention in 2016 when he made a gown for Ghostbusters star Leslie Jones, who had complained that designers didn't want to dress her. He kept making high-end fashion, but he also made shoes with Payless and a line for Lane Bryant, which kept his name in front of a general audience, not unlike the one he had on television. He was criticized for careless comments about drag queens and transgender people when he was first famous.Īfter his victory, though, he vowed to get better, and then he worked and worked and worked.

He could be impatient, full of himself and negative about work he didn't feel like doing for clients he didn't feel like serving. When Siriano won the fourth season of the show back in 2008, he was the show's youngest winner at only 22 - and it showed. Success doesn't flatter everyone, but it's flattered him.

She has a warm presence, friendly and supportive, and she seems very happy to be there.īut the big surprise, at least to me, has been Christian Siriano. Kloss is still getting her feet under her, but she has been just fine at this job - at least as good as Klum was when she was new to it. I surprised myself with my affection for it and certainly with my affection for Siriano, not my favorite back when he was a contestant. Not only did the season wind up being a strong argument that a show like this can continue with a new host, but it also almost became an argument for changing hosts as the first, not the last, option for shows that have grown stale.
Back on Bravo now, it features model Karlie Kloss in the host role and designer (and former Project Runway winner) Christian Siriano in the mentor role. It was the show's first run without Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn, who reigned while Runway ran on Bravo and then on Lifetime. The 17th season of Project Runway concluded Thursday night, handing the win to Sebastian Grey. Christian Siriano watches over the work of Hester Sunshine on Project Runway.
