That’s why it’s important to me and it should be important to every designer because the people that you put in your brand represent the brand.Siriano says he was inspired by a trip to Aspen, Colorado, and what the denizens of his fictional province (dare we say, pod?) might wear to glamorous events there. I dress people that I can support and support what they’re doing in their lives. If I got a call from somebody tomorrow that was, say, a musician, who was all over Twitter or Instagram hate-bashing people, I wouldn’t dress her either. I think to an extent, it’s important because as designers, that’s the only voice we have. Unfortunately, it really doesn’t have anything to do with her, but she is representing what’s happening politically and what’s happening politically right now is not really good for anyone.ĭo you think that it’s important that designers like Sophie Theallet and Marc Jacobs are making political statements by refusing to dress Melania? I think for a while everyone was trying to figure out what to do. I think what’s interesting is that I’ve been doing kind of the same thing for a really long time, but people are just starting to notice it. I just try to make pretty clothes and hope that people like them. I think everybody has to find their way into the world and everybody has different paths. I actually don’t think about it too much. I love her, I’m a huge SNL fan, I’ve dressed a lot of them - Amy, Tina, and I wanted to give her that same moment. In a lot of ways, it was great because she definitely got her Cinderella moment which she so totally deserves. As I’ve been in this business now for almost ten years, I’ve realized that that’s a little more important, that we all try to celebrate each other a little bit more because there’s enough hate going on in the world. There’s a lot of hate going on in the world, so I took it as a phrase “people are people” because that’s what it is - we all are living in this world, we all are here for different purposes, and different reasons. On your runway this season, you had a shirt that read “People are people,” which is one of many, many statement shirts that I saw that could be read politically this season. I felt that it was really important to start showing that right at the beginning of the process. My woman, the person who’s buying the clothes, is from all walks in life, she’s from different countries and cultures, she’s going to be different sizes. I think more and more in fashion now, diversity is so important because that’s what the customer is. You’ve always embraced all body types, all ethnic backgrounds. I think what’s been amazing to see is the diversity of your designs, especially on the runway, from the beginning. It was really nice because it was so small and just people that they loved. They were very easy-going brides, probably the easiest brides I’ve had in a long time. ![]() ![]() And for Lauren, the idea was that she wanted it to be kind of masculine but still feminine enough that it didn’t feel kind of cliché. I think Samira knew that she wanted to be in something sort of grand and kind of unexpected - I think people sort of thought that she would wear a suit, but she wanted the total opposite. They also both like fashion, so it was kind of nice to have brides that’ll wear something interesting.ĭid you collaborate with them on the designs? It kind of just worked out, super organic, and I was just honored to do it. I had dressed Samira for a bunch of awards shows, I dressed her for her first Emmys, I dressed her for the SAG Awards once, so we just became friends over the years. ![]()
