At 23 years old, Bravo’s Project Runway season four winner, Christian Siriano , is creating quite a name for himself. Christian began designing at 13 years old and has interned for Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen. He has also shown full collections every season as part of New York’s Fashion Week. In addition, Christian has designed for celebrities such as Victoria Beckham, Heidi Klum, Vanessa Williams, Lady GaGa, Estelle and Whoopi Goldberg, among others. Christian Siriano is hot on the fashion scene. Like many other designers, he is creating a recession friendly collection. Over the past few years, several high-end designers have teamed up with lower-end stores to offer a more affordable collection for the everyday fashionista. On September 8, 2009, Christian’s handbag and shoe line will debut in select Payless stores and online. His Payless collection is expected to grace the stage during his New York Fashion Week show. In addition to this fall line, Christian will create a special holiday collection for Payless in December.

Does Christian Siriano’s line incite you to shop at Payless?
