Opening the prestigious NYFW 2011 at Lincoln Hall with the fashionable "mob" that preceded outside hoping to catch a glimpse of his much awaited Spring Collection, one can't help but ask of the crowned prince of fashion : will you deliver the drama and fantasy you so promised?
"Fashion is about fantasy" he says, "and who doesn't love a little drama?....."
Christian Siriano is New York's much hyped boy who is being tagged as the TOM FORD of his generation. After winning the Project Runway four seasons ago, and presented his fifth collection, is there more to him than just meets the eye?
Bringing the audience to four corners of the world, from India, China, Africa and the Amazons, the show's tour de force was a matter of "unimaginative" drama after all.
The two layered bubble skirt is the most over used fashion idea from amateur to professional drawing boards just few seasons ago.
Siriano's attempt to emphasize sophistication and glamour in his collection falls flat, to say the least. It is wanting in freshness of ideas and originality. Nevertheless, it is nice to see him out of the Project Runway box and explore further every corner of style universe and comeback with a vengeance next time around.
