We’re thinking spring today thanks to this little heat wave hitting New York, so it was fitting that designer Christian Siriano ‘s spring/summer video look book hit our inbox this afternoon, as well! The clip features actress Mena Suvari gallivanting around New York’s Soho Grand Hotel in several of Siriano’s dreamy dresses. “I wanted this video to feel elegant and dramatic but still have a chic downtown vibe,” Siriano tells PEOPLE. “I also really wanted to show the collection in a different light than just a typical runway show. Not every customer sees a runway show, so it’s important to find new ways for the customer to fall in love with your collection and your brand.” Since this was Siriano’s very first video look book, he tapped “great friend” Suvari for the super-fun modeling job. “She is stunning, an amazing actress and I really wanted this video to have real-life emotions and feeling behind it, which I don’t think I would have been able to capture with just a model,” he explains
