I think this is the ugliest NYFW collection so far. I agree on the bad fitting of the clothes, but all these ruffles etc.
I wonder whether Gurung is capable of doing something different from previous seasons. It feels like he picks up the cuts and patterns from previous seasons and makes them ugly and tadaaa: new collection.
If this keeps continuing, he'll lose his status and lose the flow of being overrated.
OMG - i have no words - looks like project runway - 5 dressmaker showing at same time - so much different looks with bad fitting and tayloring
but my eyes are bleeding - must see the lovely
- Ava in that bad fitting dress - horrible
What a disastrous collection. What was so bad about this show, and about Prabal actually, is the absolute lack of personality and creative direction. Almost every piece came down with a deja vu feeling attached to it, just a bunch of random stuff thrown in together. Nothing new, nothing exciting, nothing good.
Shockingly bad, it seems like he changed direction of the collection half way through, and that is never a good look. And then it just all looks so unflattering on models, the critics will rave anyway though, i am sure.......
This looks to be a HUGE misstep for him. The biggest problem for me is not how haphazard this is, not the similarities to other designers and not the lack of a direction but the fact that he abandoned all of his strengths. He does great, sharp tailoring. He does interesting embellishment on simple pieces. He does a sexy party dress. Why would he go for volume and layers and trailing bits and all of this superfluous crap when none of it is really in his wheelhouse?
Also, the prints. Last spring his prints were striking and beautiful, and they worked for the concept. Fall's were interesting but overly-complicated. Now the whole print-on-print thing is just tired and seems like an automatic response as opposed to a well thought out idea.
