Christian Siriano Fall 2024 Ready-to-Wear

(Zendaya! Timmy! Florence!) has been making the rounds on the red carpets to promote the upcoming Denis Villeneuve film—and Christian Siriano’s fall collection couldn’t be more in sync. This season, the designer drew inspiration from the original Frank Herbert novel that the film is based on—specifically taking interest in its desert terrain and post-apocalyptic feel. “I looked at all of the old movie posters,” said Siriano, adding that the reference resulted in him creating designs “that were soft, draped, and sand-like. It’s not a somber collection; there’s a lot of richness to it.” Of course, this was a Siriano show, so he had to make the end of the world feel, somehow, glam. “I started thinking about if we lived in this post-apocalyptic place, and what we would wear for evening,” said Siriano. “I wanted to explore futurism in a more romantic way—less armor-like.” He landed on a dusty color palette to do so, zeroing in on looks in deep reds, burnt oranges, and golden hues. What the earthy tones lacked in brightness, they made up for in luxe materials, including silky wool suits, foiled outerwear, and metallic Lurex dresses.
