If you’re in the market for a haute couture wedding gown at an off-the-rack price, you may be luck: Designer Christian Siriano announced he’s partnering with department store chain Nordstrom to create an exclusive bridal collection.
The past Project Runway winner tweeted the exciting news yesterday: “Excited to announce we are doing an exclusive bridal collection for Nordstrom. Here’s the very first one, more to come!”
Attached with the message to followers was this picture, revealing the first wedding gown from his impending line:
Our immediate thoughts: While this is a downright pretty dress, we expected more from Siriano, who’s known for his high-fashion and over-the-top concoctions. This dress is not a white version of his signature runway aesthetic.
The creation doesn’t stray far from current wedding gown trends: strapless, fit-and-flare, pleating, a two-tiered skirt, a wispy floral attachment. It’s nothing out of the ordinary, and we’re not sold that this will stand out amongst other wedding gowns in the bridal industry.
It’s – dare we say? – generic. At least coming from a designer who is known for such a unique, breathtaking style.
Christian Siriano’s runway gowns
Siriano is arguably the most successful Project Runway alum because of his sassy personality and stunning creations – he’s stayed true to his couture aesthetic in the past, and we hope he doesn’t pare down his signature style to appeal to the masses.
We would love to see the wedding gowns fashionistas are yearning for, and Siriano seems like the perfect fit to deliver wedding dresses that look like they’re straight from the runway.
The first gown from the collection, shown above, is priced at $2,375. Further details have yet to be released.
What do you think? Is that the dress you expected from Christian Siriano?
