He styled the dress with a pair of jewel drop earrings by Neil Lane, a classic gold Timex Dress Expansion watch, a Lena Erziak clutch and a pair of Casadei black leather platform heels for some extra height. The combination of black and gold is one of Ms. Ricci's favorites.
Claims Mr. Goreski, "When I was first told about this collaboration, my mind immediately went to the jewel encrusted bustier dresses by Gianni Versace and Christian Lacroix in the 1990s; an era which is having a big resurgence in fashion.
We found the perfect dress shape in Christian Siriano's fall winter 2012 collection, created it to fit Christina's body perfectly and began playing with the watches and watch pieces to create this elaborate beading pattern. The finished product is 100 percent glamour!"
Timex supplied 1,500 watches to Mr. Siriano. This is a first endeavor of this type for the iconic and fashionable American watch brand that offers a wide range of stylish and on trend choices for today's consumer.
"We're accustomed to men and women wearing the watches on their wrist as a must-have fashion statement," explains Adam Gurian, President, Timex. "We feel honored to have such a creative collaboration using our watches in such a visionary way – Christian Siriano's Timex Watch Dress is truly an ingenious work of art that is a timeless icon."
Timex Group designs, manufactures and markets innovative timepieces and jewelry globally.
Christian Siriano attended the Baltimore School for the Arts and studied fashion in London, where he interned with industry legends Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen.
