Christian Siriano Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Fall 2010 February 12, 2010 Written by Wendy R. Williams Photographed by Cindy Ord

Project Runway winner Chrisitian Siriano has a well justified reputation as one of fashion's enfant terribles, joining (replacing) fashion super stars like the late great Alexander McQueen.The Christian Siriano line for Fall 2010 featured some beautifully draped and executed ball gowns and cocktail dresses and an unfortunate foray into seventies style day wear. Whoever advised Siriano to throw in a few garments that his customers can wear to work, needs to shut up right now. I got the young Coco in Paris esthetic, I just didn't get it.

P. S. Just who is going to wear the number with the huge pink bow (bottom of page)? In the words of Truman Capote's Holly Golightlhy, "The mind simply reels."
