For debuting his first collection only one year ago at New York Fashion Week, Prabal Gurung has made a name for himself in the fashion world. I’m in love with his Spring 2010 RTW Collection and it is clear this man has amazing construction skills. His pieces are timeless yet modern. Nothing is too over-the-top (think anti Lady Gaga) yet everything still stands out.
Prabal Gurung’s Spring 2010 RTW Collection is composed of many neutrals, some sheer tops, constructed pieces, pops of blue (one of my favorite blues to wear by the way), and a few polka dots here and there and a bow on almost every piece to tie the collection together.
Here are some of my favorite pieces from the collection:
I love this dress because it’s simple yet modern (which goes along perfectly with the collection) and the bow on top of the one shoulder is like icing in the cake; it pulls everything together. This dress can be dressed up or down which I think is very important when it comes to investment pieces. It needs to be versatile so you can get more than one use about it. This dress does just that.
As I mentioned before, the blue that occurs in this collection is so beautiful and it creates that perfect pop of color to spruce up your wardrobe. I love the simple blue dress paired with the more severe black jacket. This is just another way you can do something different with a simple dress. Pair with a fun jacket or a great belt and you have a whole new look.
I love this blue. I love long dresses. I love low backs. This has the entire package. Not only is the back steep and sexy, there is a lot of detailing to appreciate on the bottom. The draping and the bow really make this dress into something more than the ordinary low-back dress. The bright blue doesn’t hurt either…
I think this may be my absolute favorite from the collection. Again, I love the one-shoulder look (VERY in right now…just look at pictures from any recent awards show) and the contrast of the top and bottom makes this dress really stand out. It’s not for everyone, but I love this look of another material (especially feathers) “coming out of” the bottom of the dress. Sometimes it can be too over-the-top but this balances a classic dress with a creative and modern twist.

I found this video on YouTube that follows Prabal Gurung as he prepares for Fashion Week (from September 2009) that really made me fall in love with him. You can tell he’s very passionate about what he does and he truly appreciates the people who support him, which is always very admirable in a designer.
