The Christian Siriano Fall 2012 collection was a highlight of New York Fashion Week for many people. The 26-year-old Project Runway alum has gained so much success in the past few years that it's quite hard to believe that he comes from reality TV beginnings.
Siriano's fall offering is more restrained than his previous collections, which have always included show-stopping, red carpet-worthy gowns. Instead, this season he focuses on chic silhouettes and adding an edgy touch to each feminine look. The look is most flawlessly executed in the form of a chiffon evening gown topped with a fitted leather bomber.
The standout black lips were inspired by the 1933 film Vampire Bat. "The funny thing is that it's this quirky horror film," Siriano explained to Style.com backstage. "But Fay Wray is just so glamorous and stunning in the whole movie."
Unsurprisingly, glamorous and stunning are the perfect words to describe the Christian Siriano Fall 2012 collection.
