Christia Siriano + edgy inspiration

Christian Siriano’s work is always stunning but this collection seemed to be tamer than the past. Siriano usually busts out the big guns with show stopping gowns and although there were a few red carpet-worthy pieces in the collection like a stunning tulle gown, the bulk of the show presented subtle drama.

Deep cranberry-lipped models wearing lots of black, charcoal and white stepped onto the runway to music by Brad Walsh featuring Hustle Roses as the collection was inspired by the 1933 film The Vampire Bat.

 Chic leather jackets, both long and waist length, with form fitting dresses, flowy dresses, belted dresses and a few pants suits made up the fall/winter 2012 collection including detailing reminiscing the beauty Siriano finds in the wings of a bat. Plus we saw something a little out of the ordinary for Siriano – fur!

 Most of the collection brought on an edgy but sophisticated feel with leather jackets paired with sleek corporate worthy dresses and fabulous footwear, some of which will be part of his Payless collection.

 Yells of congratulations and a standing ovation closed out the show. Christian Siriano has successfully done it again!
