This new exhibit gives guests a close-up look at high-fashion pieces from award-winning designer Christian Siriano that reflects his celebration of “self-expression for every body at every age.”

“He has redefined what fashion can do with regard to celebrating the full spectrum of gender, body types, and identities, and the museum is thrilled to bring his creative genius to Memphis,” exhibition site curator Dr. Patricia Lee Daigle said in a release.

Apart from his thriving fashion empire, Christian has been the host and mentor for Bravo’s hit series “Project Runway."

The museum also offers "Atelier to Runway," an interactive gallery to complement the exhibition, allowing visitors to engage with the fashion design process and display their own designs or ready-to-wear looks on a runway.

About the Author

Hello! I'm Jalyn Souchek, the Director of Content for I Love Memphis Blog! I love calling the 901 home. When I'm not running the blog you can find me cheering on the Grizzlies, at a concert, exploring a new restaurant or kicking back at one of our breweries. I hope you'll love experiencing Memphis with me.

Build your perfect Memphis meal:

I love to eat so if I were to have only one meal left.. I’m going all out. I’d start with an app of Gumbo Fries from Blue City Cafe or Bayou Fries from Chef Tam, wings from Good Fortune or Central’s (honey gold and Jamaican Jerk), potato salad from Fat Larry’s, side of bbq spaghetti from Bar-B-Q Shop, and fried okra from Soul Fish. All paired with a Beale Street Brewing Space Age Sippin’.

Your most memorable Memphis moment:

College GameDay on Beale Street. That was an electric and perfect morning. I was still working in news then and was able to take it in up close and on the stage at some points. The fun and joy of everyone down there that morning is unbeatable.
