Annapolis Fashion Designer to Judge 'American Horror Story' Contest

New York City fashion designer and Annapolis native Christian Siriano will serve on a panel of judges this October for a costume design competition hosted by “American Horror Story.”

The established clothing designer and fourth-season winner of “Project Runway” will help select the contest’s $5,000 grand-prize winner and a runner-up, who will take home a $1,500 prize. Siriano will join two other judges: Lou Eyrich, “American Horror Story’s” head costume designer, and Stephanie Gibbons, president of marketing and on-air promotions for FX Networks.

Siriano’s designs have been worn by celebrities including Rihanna, Alexa Chung, and Emily Blunt

The upcoming “American Horror Story” Freak Show Costume Design Contest invites fans and designers to submit costume designs inspired by the show’s new season.

The contest runs until the end of the day on Oct. 8 when the first episode of “Freak Show” airs at 10 p.m EST on FX.
