Christian Siriano’s Spring 2027 runway show felt a bit like a fairy tale — and that was the point. The designer said he was inspired by an 18th-century French fairy tale, “The Story of the Queen of the Flowery Isles.”
“The story was romantic in the end, but it starts quite dark and sinister, kind of like an old fairy tale does,” Siriano told Fashionista backstage. “And I think that took you on a journey. So we really started there in this dark, hard place and end[ed] in this world of tulips and brocades and embroideries like a French tapestry that’s come to life.”
The central inspiration was the Queen, described as mysterious and “surrounded by an enchanted world of flowers, beauty, decadence and escape.” The collection took inspiration from the opulence of the French court, with elements of corsetry, dramatic volume, delicate late and ornate embroidery.
Flower motifs appear throughout — in sculptural shapes, cascading ruffles and layers of chiffon — as Siriano wanted to juxtapose restrained 18th-century dress with the wildness of a garden, as if the Queen stepped into the modern day. (One more current touch for the show included crimped hair by stylist Lacy Redway.)
Although there is some of that 18th-century restraint in the clothes, it still may be Siriano’s sexiest collection yet. “I love that it was sexy in the beginning and then ended in this really ethereal, beautiful world,” he said. “I wanted to showcase the body, the silhouette, the figure, celebrate women and how beautiful they are, celebrate men and how gorgeous they are.”
Siriano has another reason to feel proud of the collection: “We did a lot of looks. I made every single piece in this show in New York City, which I think is incredible,” he said.
