Christian Siriano Fall 2011

Christian Siriano did not disappoint! A dark collection, with a wide range of textures, lengths and styles. I specially enjoyed how wearable so many of his pieces were, the tops, pants and skirts are just beautiful. I was not a big fan of the last look (it looked to me like she was wearing a comforter). I'm also not loving his shoe collection, I like platform shoes and I also like that he actually designed them for Payless, which makes them very affordable, but the platforms are just way to big and over the top for my taste. I think these shoes must be very hard to walk on, one of the models actually fell during the show, I'm sure she agrees with me.


I've loved Christian's designs since he first appeared in Project Runway. He is not only a talented designer, but an accomplished sewer, pattern maker, tailor. He was always the first to be finished during the Project runway challenges and he always had extra pieces to top it off, so great!
It's hard to believe he is only 25 and already known worldwide for his amazing designs.

My favorite outfit from his new collection is this one one:

Raul Melgoza for Luca Luca had such a vibrant color palette for Fall it was very refreshing, the berry pink he used is so pretty and it works in most of the pieces he used it in. I enjoyed the silky prints on flowing tops and dresses, very feminine. There was a little weird mix of color on a few of the designs and I didn't like the "skirt/belt thingy" some of the models had over the skirts of pants. But I have to say I'm a little partial to Raul's designs because he is from LA, so good job Raul!

This one is my favorites:
