In twenty years, there's totally going to be ways to remove it." Siriano is openly gay and dating musician Brad Walsh. He is engaged to Walsh, according to reports.

Siriano, at New York Fashion Week on September 11th, 2008, sponsored by Cibu International Haircare Products, which is Bubbles Salons product line where he started his costuming career.
Siriano began to receive pop culture attention during his time on Runway, primarily for his asymmetrical upswept hair-do, which Siriano called a "bi-level fashion hawk" during a March 2008 appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and his flamboyant attitude. Several of Siriano's catchphrases, such as "fierce," "ferosh," and "hot tranny mess", were parodied in the media by multiple blogs and television shows like Saturday Night Live. In March 2008, Siriano appeared as a celebrity guest on an episode of Bravo's Make Me A Supermodel, where he critiqued the contestants' catwalks and designed an outfit for one of the contestants, Holly Kiser, to model on the runway. Kiser went on to win the competetition. On May 1, 2008, Siriano appeared as himself on an episode of Ugly Betty, and designed some of the cast's costumes.

Christian is "fierce"

Siriano was born in Columbia, Maryland to Joye and Peter Siriano. Along with his older sister, a former ballet dancer, Siriano was raised in Annapolis, Maryland. He is of Italian and German descent. Siriano's parents divorced when he was four years old, though he has said his father is still a part of his life.
Siriano has said that his parents supported the arts and encouraged their children to pursue creative fields. As a child, Siriano studied ballet, and on a March 2008 Ellen appearance, he described himself as a "musical theater kid who loved costumes". Siriano's interest in costume design inspired him to pursue a career in fashion. He began designing clothes at age thirteen, while working as a hair washer and styling assistant at Bubbles Salon in Annapolis, and eventually began sewing clothes for the salon's annual hair shows. Siriano attended high school at the Baltimore School for the Arts. The school allowed Siriano to choose fashion design as his course of study, despite the fact that they do not offer it.
After being rejected by the Fashion Institute of Technology, Siriano chose to study abroad at American InterContinental University in London, England. Following the recommendation of a teacher during his senior year, he began interning at Vivienne Westwood, and later, at Alexander McQueen, whom Siriano has stated is his favorite designer. Siriano moved to New York City after graduating from college.
