One Minute With … Christian Siriano

theFashionSpot: Can you talk to us a bit about the inspiration?

Christian Siriano: Yeah! Into the Congo. We went! It was inspired by all different parts. Animals, creatures, plants, African tulip trees, the Heliconia plant—we wanted it to feel like the essence of that but still ladylike.

tFS: And were you inspired by actually going to Africa?

CS: I’ve never been. And so it was my idea of the fantasy of what it would be like if I was there in that place at the time.

tFS: To recover from Fashion Week, are you planning a trip, perhaps to Africa?

CS: I hope for summer, yes, I plan on taking an amazing safari in the summer. That’s the goal.

tFS: Will we see any of these dresses next week at the Oscars?

CS: Maybe! We’ll see!!
