At NYFW this year on February 13 Sienna Li released their latest collection into the wild at the iconic Jane Hotel. The theme was “Polarity”. The inspiration behind this stunning collection was the industrial shift at the close of the 20th century. As women joined the workforce they led a bit of a dual life. They wore gowns with puffed sleeves at night as well as factory worker’s clothes during the day. This influence is easy to find in Sienna Li’s new collection.
The masculine influence of the industrial was easy to spot in the use of plaid and wool. Meanwhile stunning beading and lace lent an undeniable femininity to this new collection by Sienna Li. Costume beads, buttons, and a rebellious combination of animal prints were also on display.
