Celebrating his 15th anniversary since bursting onto the scene at New York Fashion Week, Christian Siriano, now 37, showcased a dazzling collection with his celebrity fans in tow. The event at the Pierre Hotel last Friday was star-studded, featuring the likes of Quinta Brunson, Avril Lavigne, Laverne Cox, and singer Kesha. Adding to the glamour, Australian singer Sia performed “Shine Bright Like a Diamond,” sporting a dramatic light pink outfit with a huge bow that covered half her face.
It feels like just yesterday that Siriano won Bravo TV’s Project Runway in 2008. Since then, he has become a household name. To mark his 15 years in fashion, Siriano stayed true to his roots, drawing inspiration from his ballet background. His collection featured ruffled gowns, tutu skirts, and lace-up corsets layered over suits. He also surprised the audience with ombre metallic designs in silver, gold, and rose tones, hinting at the future of ballet-inspired fashion.
Siriano’s tulle gowns, adorned with floral accents, were a perfect blend of fresh and fantastical, showcasing his deep understanding of feminine power. This collection proved once again that Siriano is not just skilled, but a true master of his craft. His persistent innovation in the fashion world ensures his name will be remembered for years to come.
