Christian Siriano
"For Fall 2020 this season I let my imagination run wild. I was first inspired by the film Birds of Prey where I took ideas of Harley Quinn running through a dark abandoned carnival fun house. This led to a mythical, gothic and artistic experimental collection. I even found myself looking to the Dadaism art movement of the early 20th century for ideas of sculpture, form, futurism and expression.
There is always a focus on event dressing and evening wear that is modern and elevated for our customer but with a playful and youthful silhouettes."
