“What’s great about fashion now is that whatever price point you are
- if you have $20 to buy a pair of shoes - it shouldn’t hinder what you’re
getting,” Siriano said.
And adding more sizes to his lines has not only also been popular and
beneficial to more people, it tripled his business.
“We’ve always had customers of different sizes - since day one,”
Siriano said. “But it was very frustrating to hear a woman say, ‘You don’t
have my size or you don’t have something that I can wear.’”
He added more and more sizes, and began to include women of all
sizes – and ages – in his runway shows.
“The whole point of being a designer is to make people feel good,”
Siriano told Mallis. “We’re not here to cure cancer; we’re here to make
people look cute in a dress. You want to look cute in a dress and you’re
a size 26, why not?”
Siriano also created The Curated NYC, a multi-brand boutique
offering luxury clothing, ready-to-wear, jewelry, bags, one-of-a-kind art
pieces, fragrances and candles, vintage decor, and other accessories and
gift items.
