"[Prabal] Gurung has never shied away from talking politics, but he's rarely spelled his out as explicitly as he did in his new Spring collection. On the runway, one bias-cut silk dress was printed in finely wrought script with famous speeches by prominent women, and other were trimmed in grosgrain ribbon on which quotes were spelled out in black ink. Customer who prefer not to wear their politics on their sleeve, or anywhere else, did not get short shrift. The virtue of this collection was its many subtle numbers: a clay-red clingy knit dress with a skirt of swirling silk charmeuse, and another with long sleeves in white with a pretty floral print bordering its high slit. Gurung usually concludes his shows with a group of show-stopping gowns. This time around he finished with three pantsuits. A white silk tunic with an open back and pleated sleeves worn with black wide-leg pants gets our nomination for the most elegant evening proposition we've seen all week." - vogue.com
