Christian Siriano A/W 09 Collection

I am impressed with this collection to say the least. I have been a fan of Christian's work since his project runway appearance and now he is performing on the big stage, even though this isn't his first time showing a collection at the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York. The collection is very well put together and presented just as well. He didn't deviate from what he likes to do as a designer and he did not disappoint as a showman. Some people may consider his overconfidence a weakness but the same crowd is quieted the instance that they see this collection because he has been able to use that attitude to his advantage and it shows through his clothes. We see another ready to wear collection that is more on the imaginative side than anything else but one should expect nothing less from Mr. Siriano. I see this as a movement where more attention is going to be paid to detail in ready to wear clothing. This is very good news for consumers because it means that in seasons to come we will start to get more for our money.
What a difference a belt makes.
