Are you on the hunt to find the perfect wedding dress for your big day? One of the most important, and exciting, aspects of planning your wedding is deciding on the perfect wedding dress! As part of Loverly's Wedding Dress Diaries Series, we'll be walking you through everything you need to know about designs from Christian Siriano.
Siriano studied under Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen before appearing on the fourth season of the American TV show Project Runway, which introduced him to millions of fashionistas across the US. He became the TV series' youngest winner, using the $100,000 prize money to start his own label in 2008. Within the fashion industry, he is a vocal advocate for greater diversity and inclusivity; this is best illustrated when he dressed seventeen various women for the 2018 Oscars and garnered serious attention for designing the gown Billy Porter wore to the 2019 Oscars. In 2019, Siriano comes full circle and will be mentoring designers in Season 17 of Project Runway.

In 2017, he followed up with a second official bridal collection and one that sold beyond Kleinfeld’s walls.
