Fashion Crush: Prabal Gurung

Great Lengths, Color, Grace, and the revival of ladylike, but yet, body conscious style. Thanks to Prabal Gurung, and the creation of his SS2011 collection those of us looking to be set free from band-Aid length hem-lines, and tunic shirts posing as dresses now have something to look forward to. The Singapore born designer has certainly changed the game by going against the grain and daring to do things differently in a business where it sometimes seems simpler to produce more of the known, the right now, and the expected. When viewing Gurung’s SS2011 collection, he certainly seems far more advanced, as far as having a point of view and creating sophisticated garments, than most designers debuting their sophomore collection. His resume and list of accomplishments reflect those of one you would expect nothing less than a strong sense of design and innovation from. Gurung, once a Parsons School of Design student, has had stints at Cynthia Rowley and Bill Blass, launched his first show during 2009 Fashion Week, and was one of the CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund finalists in 2010. Sometimes it is best to go right when everyone else goes left.
