Molten metals at SIRAN AW16

 

 

Taking lessons from laid-back style of her native Los Angeles and the needs of a woman of the world, jewellery designer Siran Manoukian debuts her fashion label SIRAN for Autumn Winter 2016.

Her background in jewellery is apparent – this is collection of subtle and seasonless separates, something you would want to wear everyday. The metallic fabrics even whisper of her penchant for shimmer. Siran confirms: “I have always been drawn to everything shiny, and fabrics and materials are essential to me – I love a distressed silk, a lamé shirt.”

Easy backless halter tops and dresses in shades of molten metal sit alongside a long-line blazer and the perfect oversized white shirt. “This is what I live in – I have designed things I wanted but never found,” Siran explains – liberal layers that can be dressed up or down, executed with careful attention to detail. A cleverly hidden seam makes a long-sleeve t-shirt a staple, a draped cardigan reveals a softly textured, reversible inside.

“How it feels on the skin, is also so important, it can be the most beautiful garment but if it doesn’t feel good on I won´t wear it.” We could not agree more.
