something that was going to be very textured and vivid, sure to catch the eye of those scanning the shelves. When it came to the design process, Siriano approached it the same way he always does—as if he were designing for himself. He explained, "Ecco Domani's label tends to be more classic and traditional so I wanted to compliment their aesthetic but at the same time make it modern and fit it into my world." Siriano recalled sending Ecco Domani close to 10 different options that they then rendered on the computer in order to make the final selection. "The Ecco team was really amazing to work with and they were open to anything and everything I sent. I'm sure the process for them took a lot more work but for me, it was easy. I'm constantly being inspired by things every single day so that helps." For years, Ecco Domani has been committed to supporting personal style, putting innovation and artistry at the forefront of everything they do—a sentiment that hits close to home for many fashion designers, including Siriano. "It's nice to partner with a company who is so open to creativity and lets you do your own thing. That's always exciting when you're working on a collaboration." Looking forward, Siriano hopes that his creations continue on to reinvent the rules of fashion. Whether designing the Oscar's next 'it' gown or dressing Ecco Domani's latest wine bottle, Siriano's accolades have proven that no challenge is too big. "Ecco Domani's label tends to be more classic and traditional so I wanted to compliment their aesthetic but at the same time make it modern and fit it into my world." VUE ON LIFESTYLE V U E N J .
