Christian Siriano: The next big thing (for real)?

Native Marylander Christian Siriano unveiled his 2009 spring collection at New York Fashion Week yesterday. Read all about it here. I would dish on more PR Season 5 details, but I don't want to know anything about the clothes OR the designers who make it to Bryant Park. I already stumbled on one of them while surfing the Web. If you want spoilers, Google 'em yourself.

I did look at video of Christian's show on baltimoresun.com. (You can access it via the link above.) Christian chose a gray palate, with some orange and chartreuse thrown in for good measure. Gone are the harsh, stiff blacks; ruffles and flow are in. Sheer material evokes the lightness of spring. I'm not so big on sheer, but I'm big on gray and orange: They look good together. And, of course, it wouldn't be Christian's show without some fancy hats. Tim Gunn says Christian "really is the next great American fashion designer." I'm going to actually agree. Jay McCarroll who?
