Fashion 5: Katwalk's 20th anniversary fashion show, Christian Siriano's first book and more

Handout

Maryland’s fiercest fashion designer has added another accolade to his resume. Christian Siriano will release his first book “Dresses to Dream About.” The 224-page book includes 150 photographs and sketches. The photos from Siriano’s husband, Brad Walsh, show Siriano’s creative process from initial sketch to finished garment worn by countless celebrities.

"I’m so excited that this book is finally here,” Siriano wrote in an email. “It makes me so proud to see my work over the last 10 years come to life in such a beautiful way and I hope that everyone who reads it takes a minute to remember that fashion is fun. I always say fashion should take you away to a fantasy world of dreams and I hope that as you flip through the pages you enjoy the world I have been able to create."

“Dresses to Dream About” will be available for purchase Nov. 7 for $45 on christiansiriano.com. The book is available for preorder on amazon.com.
