Project Runway Season 4 winner Christian Siriano presented his Fall 2009 Collection at The Salon in Bryant Park for NY Fashion Week last night and managed to showcase a fairly stunning collection of designs. While many of us are mourning the lack of real Project Runway-ness this NY Fashion Week, we can take heart that one of its former winners is still in the biz of creating and showing fabulous clothing designs. Here are a few of Christian‘s pieces and some commentary from the New York Post:

Christian Siriano is all about skinny legs and cool, voluminous pieces. His coats had all kinds of interesting billowy, stacked, winged and sculpted sleeves. In fact, these kinds of fabric manipulations were seen throughout the collection on blouses, skirts and dresses to much success. This designer has grown an incredible amount since his “Project Runway” win just a year ago. His work has gone from kitschy and costume-y to actually fashionable, particularly in the latter half of his collection, which featured floaty dresses and gowns we wouldn’t be surprised to see on a red carpet soon. It seems Siriano still has the Bravo mantle to carry. His audience was loaded with former “Project Runway” contestants (aka losers) and Countess LuAnn Shopsalot, or whatever her purchased name is, from “The Real Housewives of New York.” Tori Spelling, who provided the jewelry for the show, was also holding court.

Oh yeah, the boy’s got talent … it’s crazy how much creativity and style Christian‘s design aesthetic entails. While I must admit that early on during his season of Project Runway Christian (and his antics in particular) rubbed me the wrong way, I really came to see the genius in his talent. He absolutely deserved to win his season of the show and his continuing body of work just proves how much of an exciting designer he really is. After the jump, check out a few more of his Fall ’09 pieces as well as video of his entire collection making its way down the runway at NY Fashion Week last night …

Project Runway season 4 winner Christian Siriano celebrated his 23rd birthday in NYC last night at a surprise birthday party thrown in his honor at Citrine nightclub. His boyfriend (not fiancée) Brad Walsh orchestrated the happy affair and arraged for Ultragrrrl and The MisShapes to provide the party music. Here are a few pics from the red carpet last night:

I think it’s safe to say that Christian is among the most beloved contestants from Project Runway so I think there are many folks out there who will join me in wishing the fierce designer a Happy Birthday. Siriano has been running around like crazy in the past few months and is even considering a guest appearance on Gossip Girl in the near future (despite the fact that E! claims that he and Walsh are “engaged”, I can assure you that they are not … yet). It’s clear that Christian is showing no signs of slowing down any time soon … and the lad just turned a mere 23 years old! OY! He’s gonna need that youthful spunk because he’s got a long career ahead of him. I hope you had a very Happy Birthday, Christian … I can’t wait to see where you pop up next!!

Yesterday afternoon we saw a couple pics of Heidi Klum out and about on the streets of NYC with her hubby Seal rockin’ an awesome Barack Obama mask but lest you think that that was the height of the couple’s Halloweenness here are a few pics of Heidi and Seal at her 9th Annual Halloween Costume Party which was held at 1 Oak nightclub last night. Heidi got all dolled up as Kālī, the multi-armed goddess of death and destruction … you know, cuz Heidi likes to keep it simple. Check it out:

Heidi looks pretty amazing … as I may have mentioned previously, homegirl really goes all out for Halloween. I’m not entirely sure what Seal was dressed up as … Sinbad the Sailor perhaps? I mean, he looks a’ight but can anyone look great in a costume standing next to Heidi lookin’ like this? You may recognize the little person in the photo with Heidi in the last pic … yes, it’s Cruella de Vil but it’s actually Project Runway season 5 winner Christian Siriano. Christian was joined by Project Runway season 1 contestant Austin Sacrlett who dressed as a Japanese kabuki actor:

Heidi Klum ain’t playin’ around when she invites you to her Halloween parties … you come prepared or you don’t come at all. As always, Heidi turned it out. Looks like a pretty awesome time.

Project Runway season 4 winner Christian Siriano presented his first official fashion show at New York Fashion Week last night. You may recall that Christian won his season of Project Runway back in February of this year so this was the first New York Fashion Week since his win … and he has already presented his first, solo collection — not bad for a kid, I think. Here are a few pieces from his show:

It’s always nice to attend a show where the audience is clearly filled with fans. They break into spontaneous applause when they like what they see and you can actually feel a difference in the crowd’s energy. Christian Siriano has a lot of fans, Heidi Klum, Tim Gunn, Becki Newton and several of the “Project Runway” executive producers among them. And his first runway collection played to them. For his first real collection, Siriano showed more refined versions of that final collection that won him the “Project Runway” top prize. There were ultra-skinny pants and poufy tops, some even shown with a giant picture hat, all in gray. He stretched himself with some of the skirts in his black group. There was a really well-cut peg shirt (read mini culottes), a high-waisted paperbag pleated skirt and even a ballerina skirt. Of course, he threw in his signature circle shirts and gowns in which circles of chiffon in varying sizes are embroidered for volume, all of which received spontaneous bits of applause.

There is no question that Christian is an insanely talented designer. I really loved all the pieces that he showed in this, his first fashion show. You can really see his trademark design style in the pieces … as well as his love of very large hats. I’m glad to see there was quite a bit of bold color mixed in as well, I love black but too much black is not very inventive. After the jump, check out a few pics of Christian taking his bows at yesterday’s fashion show and of him at his afterparty last night …

Project Runway season 4 winner Christian Siriano (who, incidentally, just this week debuted his first clothing collection on Bluefly.com) has a few choice things to say about Project Runway season 5 contestant Blayne Walsh‘s overuse of the word “girlicious” … essentially, he hates it. Which, I must confess, is pretty funny considering that Christian couldn’t go 3 mins. on his season of the show without saying the world “fierce”:

Christian Siriano, the man who perfected the reality show catch phrase, weighs in on one of “Project Runway’s” most controversial contestants this season, Blayne, and his overuse of the word “Girlicious.” Needless to say, he’s not a fan. But it’s not all bad news – although he doesn’t have such kind things to say about last night’s winning dress either – as Christian gushes about his new BlueFly.com collection, his designs for 2008 Fashion Week and of course, the biggest fashion muse of all, Victoria Beckham.

In a video interview with the New York Post, Christian calls Blayne‘s new attempt at a catchphrase “retarded” and “stupid” claiming that “it doesn’t really work” says that “it’s very forced” and that “it bothers” him. Um, what? Don’t get me wrong, I totally agree … the liciousness is annoyingly lame … but for Christian Siriano — the guy who used the word “fierce” so much that even he had to agree that it became “expired” — to dog on Blayne is too funny. If anything, Blayne is just trying to emulate Christian by mimicking him … it’s funny that Christian now finally sees how annoying this behavior is ;) After the jump, watch the entire New York Post video interview with Christian Siriano …

While the new batch of wannabe designers are battling it out for winner of Project Runway season 5, last season’s winner (who was crowned just this past February) has already hit the ground running with his first official line of clothing. As part of his prize as Project Runway winner, Christian Siriano was given the opportunity to design and sell a line of clothing for Bluefly … and yesterday, the first pieces from his collection were unveiled to the world:

Bluefly, the leading online retailer for on-trend designer clothing at a great value, will be the first to offer Christian Siriano’s women’s collection on its site beginning today. The 22-year-old designer who skyrocketed to fame by winning season IV of the highly rated reality show, Project Runway, will debut his first collection of eight silhouettes in a range of colors exclusively through Bluefly. Each piece is signature Siriano: fierce and fashion forward. While clearly directional and undeniably edgy, the collection will offer customers a range from jackets to t-shirts and skinny pants to a red carpet worthy dress with items that will retail in price from $96.00 – $520.00. Since taking the top honor on the show, Siriano has caught the eye of several celebrities including fashion icons Victoria Beckham, Heidi Klum, Vanessa Williams, Kimberly Locke, Whoopi Goldberg and others. With his first collection, he stayed true to his avant-garde vision, creating pieces that his doting fans are sure to adore. The garments boast such details as puffed shoulders, exposed zippers, ruffles and incredible ruching. Christian Siriano said, “Working with Bluefly has been completely amazing. They have the fiercest customers and I am so excited to have the opportunity to sell my very first collection with them.” This collaboration is part of an ongoing partnership between Bluefly and Project Runway, which began with the first episode of Season IV and earned Bluefly the number-one rated television show brand integration of 2007, according to the IAG Research annual integration rankings. The relationship continues with Season V. Bluefly CEO, Melissa Payner said, “Christian Siriano is an extremely gifted young designer and we are thrilled to be the first retailer to offer his line to consumers. We worked closely with him to create this exclusive collection, maintaining all of the unique essence that people have come to expect from him while focusing on what we know will excite our customers to click and buy. And we are also excited to announce that we have created a series of behind-the-scenes videos that document the making of this collection with Christian. His endearing antics are what made him so loved by fans of Project Runway and we know Bluefly customers are anxiously waiting for more,” she added.

I gotta say … these pieces look pretty much like Christian Siriano designs. I’m not sure if he intentionally wanted to mimic pieces that he previously created (the hat, the ruffles, the skinny fit) but there’s no denying that these are Siriano originals. The design pieces have been given cute names like Posh, Dinner At 8 and London Guard — clearly inspired by the look and feel of the designs (and, very prolly, by Vicki B. herself). If you are interested in owning pieces from this collection you can order them online HERE. The shizz is pretty pricey (ranging from $290 to $590) but I expect that it’s bound to sell … right?

Christian Siriano, winner of Project Runway season 4, gave an exclusive interview to Bluefly about his new collection of designs that will be revealed to the world Wednesday July 23 at 6AM ET. Because the unveiling is being kept totally hush-hush until the appointed time of announcement, he wasn’t able to reveal all that much. But Flypaper (the official Bluefly blog) requested that I submit one question for Christian about his new collection … here is his response:

It’s a bit difficult to hear Christian‘s response because of all of the background noise but in the end, it will be his designs that will be doing all of the talking for him. I’m not sure what to expect … but I know the designs will be fiiiiierccccce!
