From the Himalayas to the Adirondacks, Prabal Gurung clearly has a thing for big hills. After two seasons devoted to the mountain range in his native Nepal and the people who live there, a trip to upstate New York provided the creative spark for Gurung's Fall collection, he said backstage. The graphic patterns found on Native American designs associated with the region were the throughline. They appeared on the first sweater to hit the runway and on the last midnight blue beaded dress, as well as on an intarsia-ed fur coat and a wool parka, among other things in between. If you think that sounds busy, it wasn't. Gurung's Spring collection suffered from a surfeit of embellishments: scads of feathers, trailing scarves, ruffles by the yard. We could go on, but we won't. This was decidedly pulled back by comparison—crisp and clean, if not quite minimal.
It counts as a major correction, but Gurung was up to changes beyond just the embroideries, or lack thereof. He gave his silhouette an overhaul, too, cutting slipdresses and sheaths along more generous, away-from-the-body lines. There was still rigor to the pieces, and no significant shortage of skin, but the clothes had a more forgiving quality. He explained the shift: "A lot of my friends are having babies. Their bodies change. I've realized a dress can still be sexy without being skintight." Frankie Rayder put proof to that idea in a spaghetti strap silk number with panels of jet beading, a sheer band at the hem, and a slit that crept up the side of the thigh. Rayder was joined by Kirsty Hume, Tasha Tilberg, and Christina Kruse—seeing their 30-something faces and bodies on the runway was just one of the positive developments here.
