While this season's winner is still to be determined, Project Runway alumnus Christian Siriano has since moved on to show his debut collection at New York Fashion Week. Simply put, Siriano did not disappoint. The boy genius pulled out all the stops turning his gift of ruffling, tufting, and ruching into a romantically hip collection.White cotton blouses were embellished with ornate sleeves while neon colors splashed off hues of gray.

Another New York Fashion Week come and gone. Though it's not really over; it's on to London Fashion Week for Fab UK, and then Milan and Paris for fashion's top flight.

Stay tuned for some more coverage this week, but I have to thank eLUXURY for making my week that much more Fab. In case you missed it, they outfitted me for four of the fast days, and it really helped me keep on keepin' on. I have my favorite, but I'm dying to know: Which look did you love most?
