Christian Siriano: The Boy Inside the Project Runway Box NYFW SS2011

 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.

Christian Siriano & Payless Shoe Source

Winner of Project Runway, Christian Siriano has signed on with Payless Shoe Source and will be designing a collection of affordable shoes and handbags for Fall 2009. The collection will contain clutches, totes and sky scraping heels inspired by Egyptian artifacts and hieroglyphic details. The collection will range from $25 to $45, affordable for just about anyone. His collection will also be presented at New York Fashion Week. I love shoe in the picture above as well as the turquoise pumps below. I love how high the heels are and how funky the design is. I will definitely have to wander in Payless to look at his collection when it debuts.
