Christian Siriano Spring 2010 Ready-to-Wear – Col

Footwear was also a major focus – Christian’s models were all wearing shoes from his Spring 2010 Payless line,cheap jimmy choo sandals, including fierce metallic gladiator heels, satin platform pumps, and printed ankle booties, all finished with a curved,Cheap Mulberry HOBO, horn-like heel. Who knows if we’ll see the shoes in any actual Payless stores (you know how that goes), but here’s hoping the designs available in stores will at least be similar!

According to the Associated Press,cheap Louboutin D'orsay, the collection was essentially a “lush take on Mediterranean travel”, which,Mulberry Bayswater Sale, while perhaps a more appropriate theme for resort collections, seemed to work splendidly for spring.

As for the pieces, in typical spring fashion, dresses were the basis of the collection – from pretty cocktail numbers adorned with Christian’s signature pleating,Christian Louboutin D'orsay, to long,Batman Hats, draped statement gowns ideal for the red carpet. Accessories included big, floppy, wide-brimmed hats,Seattle Mariners Hats, chunky silver cuffs, and a printed bag embellished with tons of silver chains that I’d love to have in my own wardrobe.
A quick back story before we get to the collection: When I received my invite to Christian’s Spring 2010 runway show, I was ecstatic – he’s one of my favorite Project Runway designers EVER,Famous stars Hats, and I’ve been following his line since it debuted. I can’t tell you how excited I was to be invited! Unfortunately, I then realized I couldn’t attend – his show was set to begin only an hour after my flight touched down in New York – if you know NYC traffic,Cheap Florida Marlins Hats, you know how impossible it would have been to make it from JFK in only an hour. SO upsetting!
What do you think?
If there was a doubt in anyone’s mind about Christian’s staying power after Project Runway, this collection surely erased it. Far more than just a follow-up from a former reality show contestant, Christian’s Spring 2010 collection proved his indisputable talent as a designer, and will surely keep his momentum and buzz going into next season and beyond. He’s surely one to keep any eye on – I know I’m a fan,Baseball Hats!

Sadly, I had to watch Christian’s runway show online, instead of from inside the tents. I was even more bummed to miss it when I saw the photos – his collection really delivered and is one that everyone seems to be talking about,San Diego Padres Hats! It’s okay, though – hopefully I’ll get to see his stuff in-person next season.
Christian Siriano’s Spring 2010 collection was an extremely wearable group of pretty cocktail dresses, well-cut separates, with the occasional high-end gown thrown into the mix. With the right combination of over-the-top and retail-ready looks, it’s a collection you’d expect from a seasoned designer, not someone showing at Bryant Park for only his third time!
