Hard to imagine Marlene Dietrich or Marilyn Monroe wearing it, but it fits right in with the designer’s oeuvre.

The drama arrived in full force with a blood red evening dress featuring a puffy peplum (which has become a Siriano signature) and a sheer torso and skirt, plus a hat that mirrored the waist detailing. One in slate gray with a waist-cinching wide belt was particularly elegant. The show opened with a series of tailored suits, which Siriano now makes in sizes up to 32.

“We really wanted to channel Elizabeth Taylor and Katharine Hepburn tailoring and ask what’s the modern Marilyn, the modern Bianca Jagger?” “When Elizabeth Taylor’s former townhouse becomes available, you make that happen,” he said. Siriano was thinking about Old Hollywood and its icons. But the location really drove this idea home this season. Nostalgia is as strong a through line in his work as size inclusivity and ball skirts. Siriano was one of the first designers to return to this vision of glamour following the start of the pandemic. Spring 2023 followed this formula: At Elizabeth Taylor’s former townhouse in Midtown, guests including Janet Jackson watched models like Karen Elson slowly walk down the ornate spiral staircase in XXL wide-brimmed hats and dresses with long trains. The location will be grand celebrities will be in the front row boldface models will walk and there will be enough gowns to outfit an entire black-tie wedding. There are few certainties in Fashion Week, but in recent years Christian Siriano putting on a capital-S show is one of them.
