Fashion Reviews on Prom Dresses of Christian Siriano

Breaking out of the Project Runway title, Christian Siriano's Fall 2011 collection at Lincoln Center during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week was an ode to petals, flower petals that is. A dark collection, some beautiful colors mixed in. Jackets, trousers, beautiful dresses and romantic prom gowns were super impressed. Today we would like to focus on prom dresses of this fantasy show.

Fantasy Prom Dresses

The collection was reminiscent of a dream, filled with floaty fabrics and feathered edges. The talented designer did not disappoint with his collection that was at once dark, moody, elegant and fierce all at once. Christian Siriano fall 2011 prom dressing were dreamy and lady like. It included a moody-hued orchid-print organza cocktail dress with a pretty swirling drape that ended in a rosette on one shoulder, a flowing green printed strapless gown and a long-sleeved, embellished mini. There was everything a fashionista can ask for like jackets, skirts, pants, as well as beautiful dresses and fantasy gowns. Confections of orchids ornately adorned short prom dress while the same theme carried on throughout the second half of the collection in a multi-tier one shoulder gown with sheer chiffon connection connecting two ruffle orchid hemlines, one at the knee and the other grazing the floor, his finale was a pink petal ball skirt paired with a sheer grey chiffon top.

Ruffled and Tulled Ball Gowns

As always, black was the main color used and the silhouettes were powerful and feminine. The palette was mostly black but anything but boring on account of the incredible detail, impeccable fit, fabulous fabrics and amazing textures used in each look, from tailored modern takes on the suit to jaw dropping ball gowns. Looks like a long tulip skirt with a lean black turtleneck, suit with a portrait collar and awkward ruffled skirt, massive petal-pink ball skirt paired with a simple gray silk tee looked chic. Christian upped the ante with some ruffles and tulle showed up inth ball gowns.

Stylish Cocktail Dresses

Aside from the over the fantasy gowns, Siriano sent out beautiful cocktail dresses in moss greens, blacks and a subdued honeysuckle pink color. He also sent out a some suits and coats appropriate for daytime, showing that he can create both out of this world fantasy gowns and everyday pieces for the woman who wants to have it all.
