Prabal Gurung RTW Fall 2012 - A Travel From the Dark Side To The Light

Title  “Uncursed”, Prabal Gurung said he found inspiration for his new collection in the blue rose, "which does not occur in nature but was engineered in Japan in 2004". “For me, the rose is so blasé because of its popularity,” said Gurung, for whom the blue genus has reversed the curse of banality. There’s more: The idea of creating something totally new set Gurung on a soul search. “We all have the dark and the light side, but for the longest time I’ve only put my happy self out there,” “Finally, professionally, mentally and spiritually, I’m in a place where I’m willing to deal with the dark side of me.”
The show was an extensive collection which ranged from sharp tailoring in black, sliced with black patent leather and elaborately worked fur, well-defined lines, sculpted coats, tunics, printed and embellished dresses in blues, and on into beaded gowns and red-carpet dramatics.
The new collection progressed from dark to light, beginning with all-black looks on brunette models, then a bluish section on girls with light brown hair, followed by the ivory and gold finale shown on blondes.
