Of course you want a piece of Christian Siriano. You do, I do, Tim Gunn does. And if you, like me, want some Christian Siriano, want to be taller, AND you don't want pay over $50 for the privilege, you're in luck, you with your overly specific needs.
The LOOOOONGawaited Christian Siriano for Payless collection finally hits stores next week, and it's ABOUT time, as I've been tortured by its slow descent into its Affordable Fashion Destination (also know as my closet) since the collaboration was announced back in December 2008.
First came the photos -- shoe porn! Then in May, I got a chance to actually TOUCH Christian's handiwork when Christian himself showed Buzzworthy his Fall 2009 collection at a loft in Soho, where where tall, leggy girls politely elbowed each other for a chance to inspect the shoes in person.
FINALLY, at long last, Christian Siriano for Payless will hit Payless stores on September 8. Obviously you should plan on getting ALL of the shoes and handbags, but if you only get one pair, I highly suggest your foot finds its way into Christian's "Slither" booties. They're a gorgeous, luminescent pair of teal, hieroglyphic-printed ankle boots with a hidden platform, stacked atop a cone heel -- a design homage to the Egyptian pyramids.
Best of all, while the Christian Siriano for Payless "Slither" boots are the priciest item on the menu of Christian's delectable delicacies, they're just $49.99. Can't handle the height? Check out the $29.99 "Saunter" flat below.
