In this personal, insider’s look at his own work, Christian Siriano takes his fans through the creation of his favorite gowns, from sketch to dress. I am finding Christian to be more helpful and also more balanced among the contestants in his advice (and snark).Dresses to Dream About Author Christian Siriano He was always supportive and kind, though, and his take on things interesting to me.Ĭhristian, on the other hand, seems to be motivated not just by his fashion experience, but by his time as a contestant, the "get-something-done" pressure, and his knowledge of what's possible/how to improvise in the time allotted. And in later years, his advice/opinion was often in conflict with what the judges had to say. I’ve never been a huge fan of hers but like her so much more than when the show was on Lifetime (despite her unexpected love of Hester).Īlso: I have always loved Tim, but I sometimes got the feeling that he didn't "get" some of the designers - he did treat everyone like a student, which makes sense, but wasn't always as helpful (see Swapnil, etc.). I like Brandon, not excited about Elaine, Karlie seems to finding her footing, and Nina is well, Nina. I really loved how final four designers were so supportive of each other. This season has been so refreshing and enjoyable (well, there is the Hester thing) compared to the last few seasons on Lifetime. I hope he finds a better balance next season and doesn’t become a quasi co-designer. I was not sure how Christian would be as a mentor but I just love the wonderful person he blossomed into since he was a contestant on PR. ![]() He’s still in my list of people I want to invite to a dinner party. I love Tim Gunn and thought he was a great mentor in the beginning. I love me some Tim Gunn, but in my opinion, the show is better off with a fresh perspective. ![]() In Tim's last few seasons of PR, I noticed that his advice to the designers about what the judges would or would not "respond to" seemed off. I think the fact that he has been in the designers' shoes as a contestant and has achieved the career they're shooting for adds a lot of value to his opinions. I like Christian's approach to mentoring, even though it can indeed (INDEED! LOL) veer perilously close to co-designing. ![]()
