Christian Siriano is launching his first solo museum exhibition at the SCAD Museum of Art in Savannah, this fall. 

The exhibition titled 'People are People', will make its debut as part of the contemporary art institution’s 10th anniversary.

Starting September 24 through January 30, 2022, visitors will discover Siriano’s contributions to fashion design through the exhibit, as it showcases the designer’s red carpet looks and highlights from his decade-long career. 

“It is such an unbelievable honor to follow in the footsteps of so many great designers who have exhibited their work at SCAD,” Siriano said.

“As a young designer it was always been my dream to create and inspire others especially a young generation and I truly hope this exhibit does that. This exhibition is a celebration of people and all their beauty.”

Siriano has dressed the likes of Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Lady Gaga, and more. He is equally recognized as the pioneer of body positivity, diversity, and inclusivity in fashion with a strong belief in the social responsibility of the fashion industry.

“It is an honor to dedicate an exhibition at SCAD MoA to Christian Siriano’s incredible body of work and highlight the undeniable impact he has had on the fashion industry,” said Rafael Gomes, director of fashion exhibitions at SCAD and curator for People Are People. 

“His stunning creations are vibrant, whimsical, and combine beautiful craftsmanship with a unique point of view and upbeat positivity. We are proud to recognize Christian during this momentous year for SCAD’s museum."
