Above: Heaven. Below: Hell
What started out great at Prabal Gurung’s spring
show-tailored suits with long, sheer, draped tops-quickly devolved into bad
taste and poor judgement.
Overall the collection was fussy and lacked polish. I don’t
know who his customer is. I don’t know who’s buying or wearing, say, a flounced
layered dress with feathers or a predictable looking white dress with cut-out
details. And the prints. I mean, fuck me with shards of glass the prints were
bad. They were uninspiring, garish, and confusing. The worst offender was a
matching blouse and pant with what appeared to be small blue flowers. I don’t
know, digital prints like this have been done a thousand times and with more skill
so why bother?
Prabal Gurung has some interesting ideas but I think the
problem is that he has too many and crams them all into one show. This
collection would’ve been much stronger had he left out the prints and the flounce
and just focussed on layering.
