US designer Christian Siriano looked to the sweeping landscapes from science fiction epic ‘Dune’ at his Fall/Winter fashion show, presenting a collection deeply rooted in the tones of the desert.
Models wore draped coats and jackets in earthy browns and reds, while frocks came in shiny metallics at the catwalk presentation on Thursday at The Plaza Hotel, held ahead of Friday’s official start of New York Fashion Week: The Shows.

Dresses were often slit at the thigh while male models wore cropped jackets with wide-leg trousers. Iridescent materials and lamé provided a futuristic look.
“What would you wear if you were going to a cocktail party or a gala?.. I think they’ve got the futurism covered, but what would you wear if you wanted to be glamorous?” Siriano told Reuters backstage.
“That’s what I want to give to that world if we had to live there.”

‘Dune’, Frank Herbert’s 1965 novel set in the future where noble families rule planetary fiefs, has been adapted for the screen several times, including David Lynch’s 1984 version and Denis Villeneuve’s 2021 movie, starring Timothee Chalamet and Zendaya. Its sequel is due for release this month.
Siriano said he wanted to offer a mix of silhouettes at his show, whose celebrity guests included actors Alicia Silverstone and J Smith-Cameron.

“We start the show actually (with) a lot of really beautiful tailored pieces, great trousers, gorgeous cut jackets and then it kind of builds into a really beautiful, more romantic, glamorous evening world,” Siriano said.
“I wanted people to see the range of dressing, and I think that that’s really what my customer is looking for.”
Nearly 50 brands including Carolina Herrera, Tommy Hilfiger and Brandon Maxwell will showcase their collections during New York Fashion Week, which runs until 14 February.
