Talent Agency Sues Christian Siriano Over Payless Deal

Not fierce.
Christian Siriano is being sued by his talent agency for not paying them their commission from his Payless design deal.
The Designer’s Management Agency claims they orchestrated the partnership for the Project Runway winner back in 2008 and an oral agreement was made between Siriano and DMA that they would receive a 20% commission.
Christian’s collab with the discount shoe company was originally a two year deal with an automatic renewal thereafter and that’s when things started to get fishy.
According to DMA, Mr. Fierce went to Payless in February 2010 and asked that they pay him directly, thus cutting his agency out of their money.
Designer’s Management Agency believes they’re owed at least $53,000 and want to see the full accounting record.
