Christian Siriano

Christian Siriano is known for whimsical and show-stopping design, from tailored day-to-day sportswear to fantasy evening gowns. Christian attended the Baltimore School for the Arts and studied fashion in London, where he interned with industry legends Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen.
Oprah Winfrey calls Christian's designs "works of art". Tim Gunn calls him "a prodigy" and "the next great American fashion designer." His designs have garnered praise from top contemporary fashion icons.

I have chosen to look at Christian's work for inspiration on my initial designs for my final piece as he creates inspiring pieces using gorgeous material and fabrics that flow together beautifully. When I came across his work I loved the way that he has used ruffle and layering techniques. Here's a few pictures:

 I have taken inspiration from Christian to create 2 designs using my samples and the techniques that he uses, such as layering and ruffling effects. Here are my designs:
