Christian Siriano means business.

Last season's "Project Runway" winner, who showed his debut collection Thursday - one day before the reality program hosts its latest runway finale - wants the fashion world to know he's not a flash in the pan.

"I just think there are so many reality shows that people become famous but they're not really famous for anything," Siriano said in a phone interview Monday while casting models. "At least people on 'Project Runway' are talented."

His namesake line, shown to an audience of the show's alums and judges, along with actresses Elise Neal and Amanda Setton, was indeed a remarkable achievement.
