Christian Siriano said his collection was informed by “the golden age of the Russian Opera,” which meant an abundance of faux fur on skirts, the shoulders of turtlenecks and for outerwear. He also amped up touches of gold, from embellishment to filigree details. The simpler looks, like an alpaca coat with a tulip hem over a brocade sheath, were the best of the bunch. – WWD
