According to the NY Sun:
"The designer has ditched his shared one-bedroom apartment in favor of a newly renovated 1,400-square-foot loft in Williamsburg."
"Mr. Siriano, 22, said he wasn't specifically looking to rent in the trendy Brooklyn neighborhood, and would have been happy to relocate to Chelsea or somewhere else in downtown Manhattan. Being from Annapolis , Md., though, he said he appreciated that in Williamsburg he could live by the waterfront. He also fits in well with the neighborhood's young, fashion-forward residents."
"Mr. Siriano said he was at first turned off by his building's old, graffiti-covered exterior, but as soon as he saw the inside of the apartment he knew it had to be his. When he moved in three weeks ago, he was the first person on his floor."
"I needed to find a space that was big enough for me to work and live in," he said. "Right now my work is my life, and I might as well do everything in one place. Studios in New York are so expensive and they're so small, so I thought, I might as well get two for the price of one."
"When he moved into his new place, he brought just two pieces of furniture (his old design table and the shelf unit), so he's now in the process of buying more. So far, he's bought pieces from CB2, Design Within Reach, and Z Gallerie, all with a very clean, minimalist look."

He didn't want to live in a building with Graffiti on it? What a prissy nouveau-riche.
PS- Why are all places in New York City getting "trendy"? Do we have to move to Weehawken to get away from all these Yuppies?
"Mr. Siriano, 22, said he wasn't specifically looking to rent in the trendy Brooklyn neighborhood, and would have been happy to relocate to Chelsea or somewhere else in downtown Manhattan..." but I pissed off all the trannies in that neighborhood, so I thought WHAT THE FUCK maybe no one will recognize me in Brooklyn.

I don't know how to get away from the yuppies either, (and the yunnies, and the tourists), but if you figure it out how to get rid of them, please do let me know.

BTW, I'm happy for Princess that he found a great live/work space. I'd say that's harder to do in this town (even with 100K in your pocket) than winning PR in the first place.

I can't believe that where Christian Siriano bought his furniture is worthy of being reported in any paper--even the NY Sun.
well it's a beautiful loft. good for him.
p.s. did anyone look at the pictures of his sketches in that article? Christian's handwriting is so pretty.
Maybe he should start designing his own furniture...Princess Puffy Couch!!
BTW: Gotham, whats a Yunnie?

I'm sure he doesn't have the 100k anymore, by my reckoning he's at least 500k in the hole now.
PS That is my old neighborhood and it did used to be cool. I don't even recognize it anymore..
Good to see that he has more space. Maybe he will have more room to "grow".
why is everyone so mean to christian?? he's fabulous!! do you all have NO sense of humor whatsoever when he says "tranny"? he has friends that ARE trannies. k, so get over it.
I still get really surprised by all the venom - His boyfriend lives in Brooklyn - I would have hated to have been in my early 20s and have all my conversations so scutinized. As much as I want to slap him, I want to pat his head.
Yunnies are Young Urban Narcissists
