I loved this little piece in the NYTimes about Michelle Obama wearing Christian Siriano for her speech at the DNC last night. Whatever your politics, she looked great (if a tad conservative for me). It still amazes me that he is the only truly successful designer to emerge from Project Runway, and this short article seems to nail why that is so: he really embraces the idea of designing for everyone. So, yes, he dressed the first lady; but I also remember his first collection for Payless Shoes.
