Christian Siriano‘s latest collection is giving straight-up dark fairy tale vibes, where high fashion meets a dreamy, magical world. He taps into classic stories like Hansel and Gretel, Rapunzel and The White Snake, blending strength with elegance in a powerful and ethereal way.
Siriano’s love for folklore shows up in the details: think floral-tattooed lace, vegan leather designed to look like tree bark and sequin gowns that feel like they’re sprouting wings. The color palette is like a moody night sky, with deep hues and soft pastels playing off each other. It’s all about textures that are bold, intricate and impossible to miss.
What hits even deeper is how this collection mirrors the duality we often see in the Black expression—where strength and beauty walk hand in hand. Like in our stories, whether passed down through generations or lived out in everyday fashion, Siriano’s designs give us survival, triumph and pure magic. The richness of these dark tones and luxe fabrics feels like a nod to the resilience and self-expression in Black style. Siriano skillfully blends fantasy elements with reality, creating a collection that feels deeply rooted in our culture.
