Christian Siriano, For The Budget (Payless Shoes!) Anna Karenina In You

Project Runway star Christian Siriano drew inspiration from the interior of Saint Petersburg’s Mariinsky Theatre for his Fall 2013 collection, which evokes the gilded and embossed silhouettes of the Russian opera house. It was accompanied by a rock opera score produced by Siriano’s boyfriend, Brad Walsh.

Bonus points for the models’ kicks from Siriano’s newest Payless collection. Although my personal fave, the metallic blush oxfords, weren’t seen on the runway at Mercedes-Benz, the embellished heels and slip-on loafer flats are stunners.
