Elegant and sexy collection The style set stands to attention as Prabal Gurung champions military trend at New York Fashion Week. Prabal Gurung, one of Michelle Obama\'s favourite designers, opened his show at New York Fashion Week with a sharp black cape, with a black patent-leather tank peeking out, and black neoprene moulded trousers.
The designer created hourglass shapes with sheer panels on models who sometimes looked like beanpoles. Blouses and dresses came in a recurring print of a steer\'s skull that sounds scary but was subtle and truly lovely. Trousers were narrow but with boot-leg bottoms.
Gurung said his strong runway designs were more to make a statement and tell a story than some of his other looks for fall, which he described as “more wearable and sportswear-driven.”
He said he didn\'t have the first lady in mind when he conceived of the collection, adding, “I do hope she\'s going to like something. But it\'s more her effect has tremendous positive impact on my business.”
Zoe Saldana and Anna Wintour were the guests of honour, with Coco Rocha, Brad Goreski and Isabella Rossellini\'s model daughter Elettra Weidemann making up the rest of the front row\'s famous faces.
