The erotic images of women bound in rope by the photographer Nobuyoshi Araki that decorated Prabal Gurung's mood board this season are about as far removed from Sarah Jessica Parker on the red carpet and Michelle Obama at a White House state dinner as you can get. Gurung has made his reputation on the dresses and gowns he's designed for boldfaced women. What he does is high fashion, but not so avant-garde that it's going to land you on the back page of Us Weekly magazine. Vanity Fair's International Best-Dressed List is more like it.
