Artful NYFW Showcase : Christian Siriano
Christian Siriano’s F/W 25 runway show during NYFW York celebrated artful, innovative, and powerful collaborations, showcasing the designer’s ability to merge fashion with storytelling, technology, and social impact.
Christian Siriano x “The Handmaid’s Tale”
In honor of the sixth and final season of The Handmaid’s Tale and the 40th anniversary of Margaret Atwood’s iconic novel, Siriano partnered with Hulu to create a custom piece inspired by the series. The reimagined red cloak (Runway Look #22), a symbol of protest and resilience in the fight for women’s rights, debuted as part of the collection. The draped cape featured structured shoulders and a voluminous hood, which was shed on the runway in a symbolic act of liberation and empowerment. By “reclaiming the red,” Siriano and Hulu transformed a garment often associated with oppression into one of strength and defiance.
Christian Siriano x Toyota Crown
Drawing inspiration from futurism and the shared aesthetics of automotive and fashion design, Siriano collaborated with Toyota Crown to create a striking runway backdrop. The Toyota Crown, draped in red florals, took center stage, embodying a shared vision of innovation, modern luxury, and elegant design.
Christian Siriano x Zales
As part of Zales’ ongoing Designer Edit, Siriano unveiled the second season of his limited-edition fine jewelry collections, Every Day and The Runway.

The pieces, which debuted on the runway, are now available for customers to shop in-store and online at Zales.com.
