First of all I have to say that I have not been a fan of Prabal Gurung's work before. I would have previously said his clothing was visually sloppy, over indulgent and unoriginal. (I'm clearly in the minority here, Gurung just receive the Swarovski Award for Womenswear at the CFDA awards just a week ago.) However, I have to say Gurung's Resort 2012 collection makes me question my previous feelings of the Nepal-born designer.
The collection is playful and sophisticated. It features bold colored prints, a variety of textures and most notably tailored garments that are rarely seen in his previous work. Gurung's debut resort collection was coupled with the debut of Baltimore rapper Rye Rye's music video, New Thing, which was entirely costumed in Prabal Gurung Resort. Gurung's collection and video collaboration are just more examples of why I love Resort so much. Check out the full collection at Style.com.
