Designer Christian Siriano looked to the automotive world for his Fall/Winter collection at New York Fashion Week, presenting plenty of metallics for both women and men.
Models dressed in shiny jackets and trousers, sleek dresses and voluminous gowns walked down an all-red catwalk with a parked Toyota nearby, Reuters reported. Designs nodded to cars with some details appearing as paint slicks, oil slicks as well as tire tracks. Siriano used plenty of red as well as blue, black and bronze.
“(The collection) was … inspired by a … connection between sexy … automotive design and clothing. So the red … symbolizes for me that iconic red car, that iconic red dress on a red carpet and how those … go together,” Siriano said backstage.
Siriano’s show on Thursday took place on the first day of New York Fashion Week, where some 60 labels, including Michael Kors, Carolina Herrera and LaQuan Smith will present their creations. The event runs until February 11.
New York is the first leg of the autumn-winter 2025/2026 catwalk calendar, with buyers and editors then heading to London, Milan and finally Paris to see designers present their latest lines.
