Designer Christian Siriano unveiled his Fall/Winter 2017 runway collection at New York Fashion Week. Continuing his see now, buy now collaboration with Payless, two pairs of shoes featured on the runway will be available to consumers on the Payless website starting at midnight. For the collection, Christian was inspired by the beehive sand formations in the Valley of Fire State Park. The grooved lines and unique design created by wind caused a beautiful layered effect that inspired a collection full of powerful silhouettes and strong expressive shapes. The deep clay-colored valley inspired a rich and golden color palette full of open-weave textiles and luxe copper velvets. The collection is elegant and bold but modern for our customer.
Christian Siriano has quickly built both a luxury brand and a name for himself in the fashion community. Christian attended the Baltimore School for the Arts and studied fashion in London, where he interned with industry legends Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen. In the Fall of 2012 Siriano opened his first 1000-square foot concept store in New York City’s Nolita neighborhood and in June of 2013 was inducted into the prestigious Council of Fashion Designers of America. September of 2015, he will show his 16th ready-to-wear collection. His designs have appeared in some of the most respected fashion magazines around the world. Christian has dressed stars of film, music, television, and fashion including Sarah Jessica Parker, Alexa Chung, Allison Williams, Rihanna, Christina Hendricks, Lady Gaga, Shailene Woodley, Kaley Cuoco, Taylor Swift and many more.
