As one of our most popular designers to come out of Project Runway, Christian Siriano presented his Fall 2011 Collection, a black orchids-inspired line which also features the new Christian Siriano for Payless Gold shoe line, in which the hoofed-toe and petal-adorned dress pumps served to accentuate his nature-inspired collection. The dark, earthy tones ranged from black (often stylishly layered in light, iridescent layers to create texture and volume) to a mauve pink and moss green. Siriano’s attention to detail and glamour were punctuated by the pairing of dress pumps, which complimented the sleek lines featured in his full, bouncing skirts and dresses textured to resemble a garden.

I died seeing the shoes from Spring 2011 & hoped that they wouldn’t change the heels because that’s what made the shoes interesting, but of course, I was proved wrong again. They altered the design. I was bummed.
Yeah, the same thing happened to me! I wonder why….
