Interview with Christian Siriano: Spring 2019 New York Fashion Week

Christian Siriano NYFW FW19

Represented by Agentry PR.

When I think fashion, I think Christian Siriano.

The Spring 2019 show was the highlight of my New York Fashion Week experience and was everything fashion should be — bold, dramatic, and captivating. The show was held at Gotham Hall with celebrity guests such as Cynthia Nixon, Whoopi Goldberg, and Carmen Electra, to name a few.

The Spring 2019 show was everything fashion should be

The Spring 2019 collection was inspired by the perfect dream holiday vacation in Hawaii. Chic and elegant island life inspired by bold tropical prints, animal-printed organza separates, textured raffia coats and jackets, and bright-citrus evening gowns.

The collection was playful, colorful, bright, and romantic, with femininity but still powerful and exciting. It has movement like a dance at a Hawaiian luau and feels fresh and young for the ever-growing Christian Siriano customer.

Q: How did you find your inspiration for this collection?

The goal was to take everyone on a Hawaiian holiday. I didn’t want it to be typical Hawaii with grass skirts, but still wanted to capture the essence with beautiful, elegant, and romantic designs.

Q: What is your favorite piece from the collection?

Oh, it’s so hard to pick a favorite. I don’t know, I love it all. They’re all my babies. Like 70 babies.

Q: What is your creative process?

It’s very random. I like a fabric, I pick a place, or like I like an idea. I do a lot of sketching and then just go right into it. I never run out of ideas, so that is helpful. I just enjoy the journey of it.

I just enjoy the journey of it.

Q: How are your collections evolving and what do you plan to change for your collections going forward?

I do many different things each season. I push myself. I try to use fabrics I’ve never worked with. I like to have fun and also show amazing different types of people on the runway.
