The Next Marc Jacobs?



Well, the Christian love keeps flowing. From New York Magazine:

"Tim Gunn offered lofty praise of Project Runway winner Christian Siriano at last night's GLAAD Awards. 'I really believe he is his generation's Marc Jacobs. I really do,' Gunn said. Now that comment is like, Whoa, considering Marc Jacobs is arguably today's most famous and influential fashion designer. But, hey, Victoria Beckham goes nuts for both of them! Gunn continued, 'We have found America's next great fashion designer. We really have. I'm confident.' And it only took about four years."

Ouch. That sound you just heard was Jay McCarroll, Chloe Dao, and Jeffrey Sebelia gnashing their teeth in unison.


And the love apparently flows in both directions:

"How did he feel about being dubbed the next Marc Jacobs by Tim Gunn? 'I thought of [Gunn] as a mentor for so long on the show,' Siriano said. 'And then when it’s over, you’re, like, scared that they’re going to kind of go away. But they don’t. They’re better. They’re pushing you more to do more and do well. So I think he really wants me to do well, which is nice."

Tim has a history of some fairly hyperbolic comments to the press. What do you kittens think? Does Christian have what it takes to become the next Marc Jacobs? Did the show just get it wrong in the previous 3 seasons?
