The full Siriano includes styles that make every woman feel comfortable and confident including tops with vibrant colors, skirts in beautiful prints, dresses in flattering silhouettes in sizes available from 14 to 28.
“And for plus-size women to feel confident in what they’re wearing, Christian hits it on the nail with that,” Brooks added. “I really appreciate a designer of his stature saying ‘I’m going to design for every woman.’ There is such a huge market. The plus-size industry is huge.”

From just one look at the stunning collection it’s clear that Siriano meets and exceeds his aesthetic goal of creating colorful clothes.
‘I wanted it to be a lot of color,” he said. “We took a lot of inspiration from the 1950s ice cream parlors. I wanted there to be a lot of prints and stripes and textures, but feel modern, with a little vintage feeling as well. I think the clothes are realy great, wearable, fun and fresh, and that’s what we wanted to see.”
We are anxiously awaiting this Lane Braynt debut and will try our hardest not to throw all of our coins at once!
