Designer Christian Siriano gained national fame as the youngest winner of the "Project Runway," television show, but that was no guarantee he could break into the tight world of fashion -- or even get past security at New York's Fashion Week.
Siriano, known for his cocky attitude on the reality show, laughed it off when a security guard blocked him from the hall where he was presenting his line of clothes at the semi-annual fashion event.
But the incident illustrates the troubles new designers -- even winners of a hit U.S. television reality show -- have breaking into the elite established fashion world.
