Christian Siriano s fierce dedication to inclusivity isnt news, but that doesnt make it any less worthy of praise when we get a reminder.

Siriano is a pioneer of body positivity and diversity in the fashion field, even if he doesnt feel he should be commended for it. Casting five plus-size models in his runway show and collaborating on a line for Lane Bryant in 2016 are just two testaments to that fact. Now, in a new essay for Glamour , the Project Runway alum hits perfectly on the point so many others miss when it comes to his choices in clients.

Recalling the now-famous move he made to dress Leslie Jones for the Ghostbusters premiere last July, he reminds everyone that he always championed body inclusivity. Still do... Leslie couldnt find a designer to dress her , and unfortunately I hear stories like hers a lot. But whether its Leslie or Gwyneth Paltrow , I dont think about a womans size when I dress her. I ask myself, Am I a fan?
