Video Loving: Prabal Gurung – Resort 2012

I do like it when fashion designers do something new, whether it is a collaboration, or switching it up and adding menswear, I don’t know about you but it keeps it interesting. Well I was thrilled to see that for Prabal Gurung’s debut Resort collection he decided to team up with dance-rap artist Rye Rye, no I haven’t heard of her either, but the song is called New Thing so it is aptly named!!!

“I have always followed the multitude of fashion films created by other design houses and loved seeing all the different interpretations of the collections,” says Prabal. “But the idea behind this was to bring other creative minds to the table and inspire our customers as well as the YouTube generation.”

I just love it, normally designers hit the runway to showcase their latest collections but for the Resort lines it normally just gets Editor previews and goes slightly under the radar, so I am so glad that this video directed by Kenneth Cappello brings the fashion alive.

There are 21 looks in the collection, spy them all here, there are lots of bold colours including Barbie pink, yellow and green, which work perfectly against the black and white graphic prints, as well as the flashes of florals, laser-cut polka dots, sequins, and ribbon embroidery. I just adore the statement cocktail dresses and ball gowns - absolutely gorgeous.

Verdict: I am so pleased that someone wore one of the dresses from this amazing Prabal Gurung collection, and I so pleased that it was Zoe as she looks amazing in this dress.

I love the clashing colours, the ruffles, and most of that cute gold clutch with tassel, also how hot does her red lippy look. Seriously sexy look. I love it.

NYFW SS11: Prabal Gurung Wants To Dress Intelligent Girls

Prabal Gurung showed his spring/summer 2011 collection in New York today displaying his ability to create the perfect evening gown and showing why so many celebrities love to wear his dresses. This season’s inspiration came with the concept of wanting to dress smart, intelligent girls – and with this came gorgeous dresses just below the knee and elegant necklines.

Once again we saw colour block, geometry shapes and textures gracing the runway. But the pieces that stood out had to be the floor-skimming dresses that I can imagine many a celebrity is asking their stylist to secure for their next red carpet as they were exquisite.

I could really see Diane Kruger wearing this dress to an award ceremony – she would look gorgeous in this.

One of my favourite dresses had to be this one with a pink flower splatter print on it.

But for me the aqua and red collection of dresses were the most wearable of the line. Three quarter sleeves, high neck and calf-length. Elegant and ladylike while still be cool and sexy.

But as with all Prabal’s collections it is the architectural structuring detailing that he delivers in his designs that makes him stand-out from the crowd, displaying his signature pleats, folds and drapes throughout.

The detailing on this front panel is amazing, and the added thigh-slit makes this a sexy, red carpet ready gown.

Overall this collection was pretty, with a lovely injection of colour, refined elegance and most certainly had red carpet appeal to it.
