Christian Siriano Red and Purple Ruffle Dress: Love It or Hate It?

March 21, 2008

Last night, on Make Me a Supermodel, fierce Project Runway winner Christian Siriano showed up and gave the remaining models catwalk and styling tips. He didn't come empty handed though. He brought with him a present for Holly: a high-neck, red and purple ruffle dress similar to his ombré frock from Project Runway's New York Fashion Week runway show. The judges didn't think Holly commanded presence in the frock, and I agree. Still the signature Christian dress is simultaneously loud and graceful, just the way I take my haute couture. Are you smitten?

I keep imagining what would happen if you take away the belt: an unelegant explosion of ruffle making the model look like a big round candy? Apart from that thought I like it.

love it! but of course ONLY as a runway dress (well, depends on the event i guess, and the person who wears it). Anyone who even thinks about wearing this to any normal event are wayyyy out of their head.

Well, I liked this design the first time he did it but now I'm getting tired of seeing this from him. Rami was criticised for over draping, now I'm seeing Christian over ruffling.

Extremely innovative, yet unflattering

It's not something I'd wear on a regular basis, but the concept of it is funky fresh. Especially love the belt!

The question should really be, "If you didn't know who Christian Siriano is (and how adorable he is!), would you find this dress attractive?" I think if most people were asked their opinion of this dress, but not told the designer, the majority would not like it. It is beautifully crafted, but this could never be worn off the runway. Not even Victoria Beckham or Kate Moss could pull this one off.

I personally think this dress is ugly. It looks like you got attacked by ruffles.

Fierce! I'm definitely smitten by this dress. Is there a picture of the back of the dress? I love how the back is out.

that dress is amazingly beautiful. i just love it! i so wish i could wear that. the model doesn't really look that bad in it, but she does look like she is scared to wear it.

Not loving the dress, but I love Christian. I just wonder if he can make clothes for everyday people or is he just excellent at the runway stuff-very couture items? I just can't picture him designing clothes for normal people...Love him.
