He is fast becoming a household name as one of the freshest and visually invigorating designers in the scene. As of late, we've seen his creations on actress Sarah Jessica Parker, who seems to have developed a love affair with Prabal Gurung's aesthetics and beautiful work, and it is not surprising. His designs are a breath of fresh air in a field full of predictable fashion. This season he displays a collection that is the epitome of sugar and spice.
Beautifully ladylike with their digitalised floral prints and diaphanous dresses, he harnesses this woman's inner fetish with elements of bondage, sheer panels to flash a bit of flesh and the occasional sharp tailoring. The colour swatch was also far from tame (yet still soft and not overly striking), with the hues ranging from monochrome to jewel tones, to pastels. Inspired by fetishistic photographer Nobuyoshi Araki's work, Gurung brings together the duality of the modern woman, that is both fierce and delicate; executing a beautiful collection deserving of all the praise its receiving, while also staking his claim as a name to be recognised in the fashion industry.
