Christian Siriano has set up shop in New York.
The Season 4 "Project Runway" winner has joined Nolita's bustling shopping scene with a 1,000-square-foot boutique -- the designer's first standalone store -- selling a mix of his eye-catching red-carpet ready gowns and pieces at more affordable prices.
Think separates for $98 to $400, a bevy of accessories under $100, dresses starting at $150 and home items, including gorgeous candles for less than $50, created exclusively for the Elizabeth Street shop. Also available: Killer heels from Siriano's low-priced shoe line for Payless ... and the aforementioned couture dresses, which have been worn by everyone from Rihanna to Christina Ricci.
Right now, the store is in a soft-open phase, with the official opening taking place in September during the citywide shopping party Fashion's Night Out, but amNewYork caught up with the 26-year-old designer this week to get the dish.
