Inspired by 'Birds of Prey' superheroine Harley Quinn, CSiriano's audacious fall collection featured a range of badass evening looks.
That was Christian Siriano’s backstage bon mot prior to showing his collection at Spring Studios on Thursday night. While it’s empowering to think we can all channel an inner pigtail-swinging, badass superheroine, Siriano made the connection less with his clothes than with his models’ colorful hair, streaked in vibrant pink and blue, just like the Joker’s volatile-spunky ex.
“Birds of Prey,” Harley’s very own movie that opens today with Margot Robbie as Harley, sponsored Siriano’s show. Beyond the hair, the most obvious visual connections , were the big white hand sculptures that punctuated the set; they were shipped especially for the occasion. “There’s this gothic fun house that was my favorite part of the movie,” Siriano said. “There are these crazy life-size sculptures that I felt were almost like Dadaism, surrealist.
It’s an audacious aesthetic that’s not for every woman. But it is for many women, of many different body types, a point Siriano drove home once again with his diverse casting, and his models all wore the clothes with self-assured power. Real life, too, offers plenty of anecdotal evidence that legions of women want to look sexy, sparkly and in control when they get dressed up, whether for the Oscars , or less high-profile soirees.
