The bespeckled Project Runway winner had a ringside cheering section in Nina Garcia, Heidi Klum and Elle creative director Joe Zee for his most exciting collection to date, which he showed at a cavernous downtown Chelsea space.
Eschewing the oodles of frou frou and ruffles on which he has always relied, Siriano brought on more streamlined selection of crepe separates and sophisticated red carpet options. He also unleashed a barrage of exciting color. Acid greens and bold corals were whipped into trumpet skirts, paper bag wide leg trousers and cropped pant suits. But he still brought the drama with just the right amount of pleated tulle cocktail dresses and bold concoctions like a floor sweeping neon skirt with accordion pleats and a tulle ball skirt with a playful striped bustier.
