Christian Siriano Gets Moody

Christian Siriano Maternity Wear Sketches

Following Christian Siriano’s controversial yet entertaining Bluefly “Tranny” video, Moody Mamas announced that the Project Runway winner and fan favorite designed a Spring 2009 collection for them. It’s entitled Fierce for Moody Mamas by Christian Siriano. Since their launch last spring, this will only be the second spring collection for founders (and friends of Siriano) Marta Abrams and Elise Rosemarin. Some of Siriano’s sketches include sexy baby-doll dresses and form-fitting wrapped pieces. When asked why the collaboration, a rep for the company told reporters that they thought it would be fabulous if a gay man and two women who have never had babies teamed up for maternity wear. Makes sense right? After checking out their website, www.moodymamas.com, it appears that Siriano will bring a more fashion forward edge to the duo. As of right now, there are mainly very casual pieces. The site lacks the wide array of fashionable choices and eveningwear of established shops like A Pea in a Pod or Isabella Oliver. However, with Christian Siriano’s wit and talent, I have no doubt that the young Moody Mamas will soon be a force to be reckoned with. Don’t forget to watch for Siriano’s own collection this September during New York Fashion Week. I’m sure he will be as innovative, dramatic, and fierce as ever! ~ Maria Denardo
