\n\tFor curious onlookers hoping to get in on the fashion week hullabaloo, Christian Siriano was almost the miracle on 34th Street.<\/p>\n
\n\tAs the new creative director of Macy\u2019s\u2019 private label I.N.C., his show was supposed to parade outside of its flagship at Herald Square but was moved inside at the last minute \u2014 so goes public event planning in New York City. \u201cBut you know what?\u201d offered an ebullient Siriano. \u201cThis is exactly what I really wanted.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\tWhat he really wanted was something \u201csalon-style,\u201d and he delivered. Plush bone carpeting blanketed the lower accessories level, with mounds of white hydrangeas trellising the matching drapes. \u201cWhen you walk in, you feel like you\u2019re in a dream world, somewhere else for 20 minutes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\tThat\u2019s the magic of a department store like Macy\u2019s and, for under half an hour, Whoopi Goldberg, Oprah and Lizzo were whisked into an Old Hollywood film noir starring Marlene Dietrich reimagined through Siriano\u2019s \u201880s arch glamour lens.<\/p>\n
\n\tCoco Rocha hammed it up to open, looking like career Barbie with her flying saucer hat and an exaggerated skirt suit in clashing stripes and polka dots.\u00a0The latter is shaping up to be a major trend in New York and velvet ones decorated enormous loofa-like taffeta poufs, erupting from just about every part of the human anatomy. \u201cIt\u2019s a lot of shapes,\u201d quipped Siriano.<\/p>\n
\n\tSinuous gowns in laminated lace and metallized silk were more Oscar-worthy, especially one in white chiffon with crystals lining the boned corset. For the guys, a corseted tuxedo jacket with tails that swept the floor was equally winning.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\tCorsetry also inspired Siriano\u2019s take on I.N.C.\u2019s signature black blazer, celebrating 40 years. Spliced into pieces and with oversize shoe laces tying it together, it was modeled by Ava Claire and will be auctioned off, with the proceeds going to the CFDA.<\/p>\n
\n\tApart from I.N.C., Siriano tied up with Capri Sun for a silver clutch bag with beaded orange and cherry fringe and the newly minted Humane World for Animals on a maxi coat look printed with an entire zoo. <\/p>\n
\n\tWhile these felt gimmicky, bursting the fantasy bubble, what brought you back to the land of Oz were jolts of teal, lavender and hot pink after 51 turns in black-and-white. Siriano said: \u201cThe whole thing ends as if somebody turned on the color.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For curious onlookers hoping to get in on the fashion week hullabaloo, Christian Siriano was almost the miracle…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":62970,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[268],"tags":[434,44563,18,117,44564,19,17,44565,40336],"class_list":{"0":"post-62969","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-christian-siriano","10":"tag-eire","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-fashion-show-reviews","13":"tag-ie","14":"tag-ireland","15":"tag-macys","16":"tag-new-york-fashion-week"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62969","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62969"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62969\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/62970"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62969"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62969"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62969"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
