Christian Siriano won Project Runway 4 back in March and since then has gone on to design for Victoria Beckham, Heidi Klum, Anne Hathaway, Whoopi Goldberg, and Ugly Betty, despite being something like twelve years old and therefore the gayest middle-schooler in history. And now he has a new business venture - he's cut a deal to distribute a line of low-price shoes and handbags at Payless next fall. "I want everybody to have a piece of my brand," says Siriano. And, according to him, everybody wants a piece:
I have a pretty huge fan base, not to toot my own horn, but a lot of those are 'Project Runway' watchers and they're young. They're in school and aspiring to be artistic and they can't afford my clothes.
We'd say the kid is arrogant, except for that old saying: you ain't cocky if you're that good. Imagine what he'll do once he hits puberty.
