Christian Siriano Autumn/Winter 2013

Christian Siriano Autumn/Winter 2013 is inspired by the golden age of the Russian Opera, and the lavish interiors of Saint Petersburg's Mariinsky Theatre. The jewel-toned collection is glamorous and opulent in  embossed jacquards, stretch brocades and beaded metallics, with filigree embroidery and antique chevron sequin detailing. 

The Christian Siriano for Payless Gold collection is regal and royal with an 1880s influence, featuring pumps with an exaggerated heel shape and hammered gold metal ornament and crystal ball ring details, a platform ankle strap, a military-esque bootie and an over-the-knee tall boot with military-inspired lacing hook details among the twelve styles seen on the runway.
