‘Sexy, elegant, gorgeous, romantic…’—these are just a few of the words designer Christian Siriano used to capture the essence of his new collection in collaboration with GROHE.
Christian Siriano’s name is synonymous with elegance, boldness, and inclusivity in fashion. His gowns have graced red carpets and runways worldwide, each a testament to his impeccable craftsmanship and his commitment to designs that honor the beauty of all individuals, regardless of shape, size, or background. Now, he’s taken on a unique collab with Jean-Jacques L’Henaff.
In a stunning partnership with GROHE, the global leader in water technology and sustainability, Siriano brought his visionary design expertise to a collaboration that merges style with the brand’s eco-conscious innovation. Together, these two powerhouses combined the elegance of couture with the importance of sustainable living.

This partnership reached a breathtaking zenith during a panel event at the LIXIL Water Experience Center in New York City, an expansive 10,000 square-foot immersive space designed to display GROHE’s products. The event showcased five meticulously crafted couture gowns, each inspired by the fluidity of water and offering a living, breathing interpretation of its transformative nature.
GROHE’s fixtures were prominently featured during the event, perfectly complementing Siriano’s designs. Their eco-friendly technologies demonstrate how sustainability can be integrated into everyday environments without compromising on aesthetics or functionality.

The silhouettes he created for this collection were designed to mirror the organic flow of water, capturing its elegance and beauty in ways only fashion can. Draped organza and delicate silk were chosen for their ability to mimic the gentle waves and reflections found on the water’s surface. The iridescent sequins that adorned the dresses were not merely decorative but designed to replicate the subtle shimmer of water as it catches the light, or the sleek reflections of a GROHE fixture… offering a dynamic interplay between texture and reflection.

The designer noted the striking similarities between fashion and interior design, emphasizing that, much like the everyday functionality of kitchen and bathroom fixtures, the same must be true for our clothes. “In the world of fashion and the world of interiors, there are so many similarities, and that’s what I try to merge,” he explained.
This collaboration marks a significant moment in both the fashion and design industries. By blending sustainability with artistry, Christian Siriano and Jean-Jacques L’Henaff with GROHE have demonstrated that the future of design—whether in fashion or water technology—can be both luxurious and responsible. Siriano’s imaginative creations will remain on display at the LIXIL Water Experience Center, offering visitors an immersive glimpse into a world where eco-conscious design and artistic expression merge to create something truly exceptional.
