The name of Christian Siriano is usually associated with glamour and femininity and no wonder his colections are all full of pretty, womanly clothes and accessories.
But Christian is not only an exceptionally talented designer, he is a man who knows the world and is aware of financial instability. So he has collaborated with Payless for the third time already to create a line of shoes and bags for reasonable prices.
Of course the newly-made collection isn’t as sophisticated and edgy as the one for catwalk but it’s nice and very affordable. No pair is more expensive than $50.
According to the official press materials, the designer was inspired by the notion of luxurious Mediterranean travel, and the shoes “mirror this inspiration and are truly dramatic works of art conveying strength and textural tribal themes with the use of mottled prints and hides combined with raw metal sequins and details.”
The shoes featured a curved heel and an exaggerated platform slightly reminding us of Nickolas Kirkwood’s signature platform for the Fall 2009 collection.

No one ever doubted that Rodarte collection would be in any way similar to others. The two super-talented sisters do know exactly how to amaze people.
The new Spring-Summer collection is a parade of post-apocalyptic warrior princesses. The models were wearing unusually torn and twisted garments on hugely inked bodies. Tribal tattoos were everywhere, from the girls’ shoulders to wrists and together with fierce vampire-looking makeup created a bit bizarre impression. To add to that, the models had to walk a black sand-covered runway, through the thick fog of dry ice Nicholas Kirkwood bondage heels.
Short dresses with twisted plaid and raw-edged fabric, longer black gothic dresses embellished with feathers and strips of leather and a pair of skinny black rocker pants with silver zippers and cut outs along the thigh and calf and lots of other really weaird outfits looked unspeakable .
Kate and Laura Mulleavy said the collection was inspired by a trip with Johnson Hartig of Libertine to California’s Death Valley.
