Alright, people. Christian Siriano just hosted a fashion show that was basically every goth’s dream—but with more glitter, less eyeliner, and a forest setting that was straight out of a Tim Burton movie. Siriano’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection at New York Fashion Week 2024? Yeah, it was a whole vibe. Picture this: dark, moody, elegant, and 100% ready to turn your Disney dreams into nightmares (in the best way possible).
Welcome to the Fashion Forest (Where the Trees Have Better Outfits Than You)
First off, let’s talk about the setting. Christian Siriano didn’t just throw models on a regular ol’ runway. Nah, he went all in and created an enchanted forest, complete with twinkling lights and enough plants to make your local florist jealous. But let’s be real—this was no regular forest. Think gothic fairytale, minus the happy Disney endings. It’s like the forest Snow White ran through, but she’s not running from an evil queen—she’s probably running towards these killer outfits.
Metallic Mermaid Realness
Now, the outfits. Picture this: a gown made of what looks like molten silver. It’s literally glowing, and the model wearing it looks like she’s about to steal your man and your crown. The gown has this dramatic off-the-shoulder thing going on, with a neckline so structured, you could probably rest your drink on it. And the train? Long enough to trip over but in the most glamorous way possible. Seriously, who needs function when you’ve got fashion?
Honestly, if I owned that dress, I’d just walk around my apartment pretending to be a futuristic mermaid queen. Forget casual wear, I’d probably even vacuum in it.
The “Hole-y” Grail of Fashion
And just when you thought the drama couldn’t get any more extra, Siriano gave us outfits that look like they were attacked by a pair of scissors—but, like, in the coolest way possible. Think sheer cut-outs, lace textures, and more holes than Swiss cheese. These looks scream “I’m mysterious, but also stylish AF.”
He even threw some guys into the mix, and yes, they rocked the lacey, cut-out look, too. Who says only women can slay in sheer? These guys were serving “gothic chic but make it modern” realness. The best part? The outfits were basically 90% holes, so hey, at least they were breathable!
Big Girls Don’t Cry, They Slay
Christian Siriano didn’t just show off skinny models. Oh no, he made sure everyone got a piece of the fashion pie. Cue the plus-size goddess who strutted down the runway in a sheer gown that had more confidence than all of us combined. Like, seriously, we were all thinking it: she’s living her best life, and we’re just here, trying to find something cute on sale at Zara.
Her gown was all lace and drama, with a high slit that said, “I’m here, I’m fierce, deal with it.” Siriano has been about body diversity since day one, and this show was no exception. We love to see it.
Christian, After the Show: “We Did It!!!” (Sir, We Know)
After the show, Siriano took to Instagram to say, “WE DID IT!!!” Sir, we know you did it. We saw the show. He said the whole thing was a blur, and honestly, same. I blacked out for a solid 10 minutes after seeing that silver gown.
But hey, when you’ve just pulled off a fashion show that looked like a goth Pinterest board on steroids, you’re allowed to be emotional. We get it. This collection wasn’t just about outfits—it was about telling a story. A dark, twisted, fashionable-as-hell story that we want to live in forever.
In Conclusion: This Show Was A Whole Mood
So, here’s the tea: Christian Siriano just proved that gothic fairytales aren’t dead—they’re just getting started, and they’re wearing lace, metallic gowns, and strutting through enchanted forests like they own the place. This collection was bold, dark, and full of confidence. The models were fierce, the clothes were fire, and Siriano reminded us all that fashion isn’t just something you wear—it’s something you live.
