Christian Siriano does it again. A full house sat and held their breath as 36 stunning looks took to the runway. From well-tailored suits to his signature gowns, Christian showed us he has what it takes to stay on top of this business.

The collection was minimalistic in the beginning, with all black blazers, jackets, and tops, with sheer and black skirts.

The turtle neck makes a come back in this amazing outfit, featuring a cashmere oversized collared jacket and classic mens trouser, which were tailored to a T.

Before turning to color, we were hit hard with this silk organza black leather petal dress, which ultimately showcases the overall mood of the collection – dark, powerful and a marriage of feminine and masculine.

The show was stolen by the second to last gown, which had the entire room going crazy. The two tiered gown has a shock and awe factor, with its tulle section, the rosettes, and the one shoulder strap.

There was an enormous amount of detail that went into this collection, and you could feel the passion Christian has for what he does. If he hadn’t already, this show solidifies him as a serious designer, and should be thought of more than a reality television show winner.
