I say, “Not one to rest on his laurels, Siriano continues to build his empire. His latest project is a mini department store called the Collective in his adopted hometown of Westport, Connecticut. According to a press release, “With so many burned by the former traditional business model, they’ve removed the buyer/wholesale element here, allowing artists more control by retaining a full retail margin, as well as creative freedom. A big fan of the retail experience, Christian is excited about his new fashion venture which will showcase his clothes as well as furniture, accessories and art.” He’s smart!
