Christian Siriano, now 37, marked his 15th anniversary since launching his debut collection at New York Fashion Week with a dazzling display of avant-garde fashion. The show, hosted at the Pierre Hotel last Friday, drew a star-studded crowd including Quinta Brunson, Avril Lavigne, Lavern Cox, and Kesha. Australian pop star Sia also took the stage, performing “Shine Bright Like a Diamond” in a vivid pink ensemble adorned with a giant bow and signature face-obscuring bangs.
It feels like only yesterday that Siriano clinched victory on Project Runway in 2008. Since then, he has risen to become a defining figure in modern fashion. For this milestone event, he revisited his ballet beginnings, unveiling gowns with dramatic ruffles and tutu-inspired skirts, alongside sharply tailored suits accented with lace-up corsets. He also played with ombre metallics—melding silver, gold, and rose tones in fresh, youthful combinations that resonated with a new generation of style enthusiasts.
His tulle creations, delicately draped and adorned with floral embellishments, evoked a dreamlike elegance. With a keen eye for femininity and a fearless approach to design, Siriano continues to shape the fashion landscape. His enduring impact and creative evolution prove that his legacy is only growing stronger.
