Project Runway 4 winner Christian Sirano has teamed up with Payless ShoeSource to create the Christian Siriano for Payless line, a fashion-forward collection of footwear and handbags.

“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,” Christian said in a statement Monday. “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!”

The collection will be unveiled New York Fashion Week next February, before becoming available in Payless stores and Payless.com in the Fall of 2009. The designs are expected to range in price from $25 – $45.

“Christian is among the next great American fashion designers, and we are thrilled to continue to expand the Payless Designer Collections and to add Christian as our newest designer partner,” said LuAnn Via, president and chief executive officer of Payless ShoeSource. “His talent, experience and personality provide a winning combination, and we are excited to see his designs come alive on the runway next February and to bring them to shoppers across America next fall season.”
