FASHION FAIRY:
Chritian Siriano has penned a book, Fierce Style.
The Project RunGAY alum advises, pontificates and dishes.
Here's some tidbits:
Siriano waxes nostalgic on his style as a tyke:
"By middle school, I'd done a complete one-eighty. Boat shoes be gone! Instead, I traded them for FUBU jerseys, huge baggy jeans, and New Balance sneakers. Remember the big-logo Tommy Hilfiger and Nautica T-shirts that were popular back then? I had dozens. Those were bad days. I was a little white fairy kid walking around in giant FUBU jerseys. Tough times!"
On his body:
"..When I was younger I was especially skinny. So shopping posed a real problem. A size Small in most stores wouldn't even fit me! So instead of dwelling on what I didn't like about my appearance, I learned to take the emphasis away from what I didn't love and move it to something I did, like my hair!"
On his rejection at FIT:
"After the New York fiasco, I asked my teacher, 'Where is a cool place to go for fashion design?' And she said, 'Oh, you should go to Europe.' But in most of Europe they speak a different language, so London was kind of the only option!"
The tome is 242 pages of "ferosh."
