Payless just got fiercer-er


Oh snap! Project Runway winner Christian Siriano has collaborated with Payless (one of my guiltiest pleasures) for his first-ever footwear and handbag collection, Christian Siriano for Payless.

The new collection will debut during February's New York Fashion Week and will then be available exclusively in Payless stores and on Payless.com for $25 to $45.

"I'm so excited to design and create with such an amazing brand that is all about fashion and trend but, most importantly, is also about affordability," said Siriano. "I've already been working with the Payless Design Team in New York, and I can't wait to see how they will take the high- end shoes and bags I'm designing for the runway and turn them into pieces that everyone can buy. I'm all about the runway and the sidewalks!"

Interestingly, right after his PR win, Christian was asked by the Miami Herald whom he would make over if he had the chance. He said: "Britney — I need to save her and take her under my little wing. She used to look good, but now she’s all over the place. She needs a couple of good dresses and good heels, some Louis Vuittons, not cheesy Payless. I understand she’s on a budget, but c’mon girl!”

Payless isn't so cheesy now, is it Chrissy-poo? But hey let's face it, we've all talked ish about Payless once or a million times.

I, for one, am super excited about the collection...here's hoping it's better than Patricia Field's.
