NEW YORK — There were hardly any sandbugs on Christian Siriano's runway Thursday night, but Dune was definitely on his mind as he opened New York Fashion Week. .
The glamorous team on the beach saw the places and people to go, with earth tones and an orange glow befitting a Sahara desert sunset. This film, and the second one now released, became his starting point.
“I thought, what would it be like to live in this post-apocalyptic world, and yet on the sands of a desert? But where's the charm? Where's the night clothes? What if people lived on Earth? If they had to live in this culture above, what would they wear?”
For example, there seems to be plenty of lace velvet in body-hugging dresses, as well as metallic copper tones, orange tulle, and ocher sparkles. Maybe they'll leave Siriano's oversized peplums and spare enlarged shoulders at home.
Under the shimmering chandeliers of The Plaza, Siriano performs 60 looks for dinner and cocktail dressing, galas and other social events, featuring shirtless men in jackets and gentle cream-colored sexy A combination of dazzling earth tones, including elegant dresses and tuxedo silhouettes. For women who wear black.
Designers often think about the rest of the world, but with a caveat: “Don't forget about beauty.” He's a particular fan of the Sands series, starring Zendaya, and has dressed her up many times, and he'd like to try Timothée Chalamet's dress, too, but hasn't yet.
“Dune: Part 2” will be released in theaters on March 1st.
“I actually didn't know there was a new movie coming out right now, so it was great timing. Maybe there's something for him with this show,” he said of Chalamet with a laugh.
Siriano's signature giant ball gowns were gone, save for one black look. He sported a slew of mini looks that included gold glitter and pops of red. The latter is a color that has a moment.
He placed Alicia Silverstone in the front row in red. She was joined by “Succession” star J. Smith-Cameron, Ashlee Simpson, Sophia Bush and Melanie Lynskey, all of whom did not redshirt. It did the same thing as red: it popped out.
“Red brings nostalgia to great moments that we love,” Siriano said. “I think girls love feeling sexy and powerful. That's it!”
