Christian Siriano

The petite Project Runway winner has grown up before our very eyes, and this season is his best showing yet.

Influenced by the movement of the ballet and an adaptation of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” Siriano sent his bun-wearing models sauntering down the runway in delicate layers of pastel tulle. A minty abstract print was used throughout the collection and sometimes even paired with tomboyish metallic oxford shoes instead of the usual towering heels from his Payless collection. And fans of his red carpet ready concoctions can still rely on him for a night at the ballet. Ethereal dresses covered in shiny pearls with tulle details and floor sweeping, dramatic gowns were still on the menu.
