LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
Christian Siriano is "auf" to a fierce start.
Just weeks after besting fellow "Project Runway" designers Jillian Lewis and Rami Kashou on the fourth season of Bravo's "Project Runway," Christian is already making headway in the world of fashion and entertainment.
The designer, who is known for his tight fashions, unique hair and a "fierce" catchphrase or two, has designed a Christian Siriano original for "American Idol" alum Kimberley Locke. The "Idol" Season Two contestant will wear his "fierce" creation during her upcoming appearance on "Idol," according to Style.com
While on "Project Runway," Christian had a second catchphrase – "tranny" — which he would apply affectionately to his fellow contestants and occasionally himself. Now, he may get a chance to trade the barb with "Ugly Betty’s" transgender character, Alexis Meade (played by Rebecca Romjin) when he makes a guest appearance on that show later this year, Style.com reports.
In related news, Christian recently celebrated his "Runway" win at a party in Hollywood on Wednesday night. Rapper Eve was among those in attendance and gushed to Style.com, albeit with profanities, about the pint-sized designer’s latest collection.
"He has great red-carpet s**t, great TV s**t, great everyday s**t, and great now s**t," Eve said.
With endorsements like these, the future appears to be free of any "hot messes" for Christian.
