Christian Siriano Spring 2011 RTW

Christian Siriano is such an incredible talent and one of our generation's most amazing creative minds. To think that someone who is 24 and made a name for themselves off the show Project Runway can make such sophisticated designs is beyond me. I was really impressed with his Fall/Winter collection from last season (read post here) with it's pallete of blacks, grays and silvers.  And his show this year did not disappoint either. Christian said he was inspired by different cultures that were a factor in not only this RTW line but his shoe collection for Payless as well. Instead of keeping with dark colors he brightened up his RTW line with pops of blues and reds in between the whites and mettallics. I personally loved the collection which showcased bright prints and Siriano's famous eveningwear and cocktail dresses. Let's check out some gorg looks:

Loving this design! The simple silouhette, jeweled belt and tulle screams "Wear me" Perfect for an art gallery opening or a premiere.

The collar on this sleeveless blouse is amazing. I'd wear it with dark Skinnys and some black pumps. The print is so fantastic that you won't need too much else!

Short and Glittery? I am totally sold.

This would be a fantastic party dress. Love the color and the jeweled belt. Plus this sweetheart shape looks good on so many body types. I Want!

Love Love Love! One of the gorgeous finale gowns. This is one area where Siriano knows exactly what he's doing. Faaaabulous.

I also loved the hair and makeup on the models. They have a sun-kissed glow. And their hair already has a signature name after a giraffe print in the collection "The Tribal Bun" Read more on how you can recreate this look here

I just choose a handful of pieces that I love but you can watch the runway show here and view photos of the entire collection over at The Huffington Post. What are your thoughts? Do love this travel inspired collection as much as I do?? I would love to hear your thoughts! Look for more posts later on! xoxo
