The dapper designs included short and floor-length dresses, skirts, blouses and, of course, men’s suits and shoes that would definitely tickle the fancy of Ricky Martin, Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Liev Schreiber.
The designs were primarily in tones of black, black and deep green, while the fabrics that went into the clothes are feminine chiffon (blouses and dresses), wool, organza, silk and knitting. The dresses and skirts with dark leaf motifs have certainly hit it big with hipsters.
Men’s leather gloves with metal details and tight-fitting pants are among the highlights of the American fashionista’s sharp collection.
One design that wowed the crowd was a chic shawl dress with a brown train. The shawl sat atop an orange-colored silk top, and the sight needed no further work done on it. That is the very American rationality combined with French chic.
Loris Diran was born in France. He immigrated to America at an early age where his family settled on New York’s upper west side. Highly influenced by the glam culture of the 1970’s, he was drawn to music, theater and fashion, and attended New York’s High School of Performing Arts and performed on Broadway.
After earning a Fine Arts degree from NYU, Diran went on to work for such legendary design houses as Versace, Chanel and Claude Montana. In 2003, Diran launched a collection of luxury knits under his first women’s label, Loris Diran Couture. The craftsmanship and fashion-forward designs made them an instant hit with many socialites and celebrities. In 2005, he started working on his own signature women’s ready-to-wear label, immediately followed by a men’s collection.
Loris Diran’s clientele includes Beyonce, Britney Spears, Ne-Yo, Ricky Martin, Liev Schreiber, Andrew McCarthy and many other celebs. His designs were also shown in the famous film ‘The Devil Wears Prada’.
