Makeup: Christian Siriano was inspired by the eccletic mix of cultures with hair and makeup teams giving models a beachy look like they’ve spent some time in the sun. Polly Osmond describes the look as “A nomadic traveler; a sun-kissed look with matte colors and pigment around the cheeks and eyes with a great blend effect, topped off with a very pale lip.” Recreate the look here.
Inspiration: A mix of cultures from Africa, China, and Mediterranean-Greek.
Top Trends: asymmetric ruffles, faux snakeskin print, red metallics, floor length gowns, towering heels, thick belts over strapless pleated gowns
My Thoughts: Two words- Sophistication and glam. I love how he focuses on cultural trends from snakeskin prints, African-inspired necklaces, and croc patterned safari style suits. Love the Silver textured cocktail dress (seen above)! I can’t keep my eyes off of it. :0 I would have love to see him take it to the next level or just something…fresh. Keep doing what ya doing Christian. I’m watching ya!
Christian Siriano collection reminded me of earth, wind, and fire. He noted that his Spring Collection was “a lush take on Mediterranean Travel”. His show was filled with celebrities itching to see his spring line. He has definitely proven himself to be a great designer far beyond his work on Project Runway. His collection is very artistic taking silk, organza, and chiffon to such glamorous pieces.
“I wanted the collection to be beautiful, glamorous, elegant – a show,” Siriano said.”
Here are some of Siriano’s most striking pieces that I enjoyed watching.
What do you think about his spring 2010 collection?
