Christian Siriano is stepping into skincare with his new line, Runway. The collection reflects his belief that confidence begins with healthy skin.

When Christian Siriano revealed his Fall Winter 2026 collection at New York Fashion Week, the spotlight was not only on sweeping gowns and sculpted tailoring. Alongside the drama of the runway, he introduced something far more personal, a skincare line called Runway. It feels like a natural next step for a designer who has always thought beyond clothing and who understands that confidence does not begin with a dress, but with how you feel in your own skin.

Skincare is not a random business decision for Siriano. Before fashion made him famous, he worked as a makeup artist and learned early how important healthy skin is under bright lights and long hours backstage. That experience helped shape Runway, a focused collection of seven everyday essentials, including a glow boosting moisturizer and an eye cream powered by marine based ingredients. The products are intentionally priced under 50 dollars, reflecting the same inclusive spirit that defines his fashion shows. Siriano has long been praised for casting diverse models and embracing different body types, and now he is bringing that same accessibility to beauty.

The timing makes sense. Skincare has become central to modern beauty as more people focus on wellness and simple routines instead of heavy makeup. Designers are increasingly stepping into this space and seeing beauty as an extension of their creative identity. Siriano has explored it before through a 2023 collaboration with Olay, where fashion met self care in a playful holiday collection. He has also woven skincare into his runway world by partnering backstage with Italian heritage brand Borghese to create immersive beauty experiences during fashion week.

What makes Runway stand out in a crowded celebrity beauty market is its sense of authenticity. Siriano did not simply attach his name to a formula. He tested products within his own studio and shared them with the people who help bring his collections to life, including seamstresses and pattern makers. It is a small but meaningful detail that reflects his collaborative nature. The brand feels less like a marketing strategy and more like a true extension of his daily life and creative process.

This move also highlights how closely fashion and beauty are now connected. A runway show is not just about clothing. It is about mood, presence, and transformation. Skin is the foundation of that transformation. By calling the line Runway, Siriano suggests that every day can feel like stepping onto a stage, whether that stage is a red carpet, an office, or simply your own reflection in the mirror.

In the end, Siriano’s skincare debut is not about expanding an empire. It is about deepening his vision. He has always designed for people who want to feel seen and celebrated. With Runway, that celebration begins before the outfit goes on, in the quiet and personal ritual of caring for your skin. We are excited to explore the collection.
