Prabal Gurung is a relatively new name to the fashion scene, but that does not mean he is lacking in experience. Raised in Kathmandu, Nepal, Gurung began his fashion career in New Delhi, India and later moved to New York where he worked for such iconic figures as Donna Karan, Cynthia Rowly, and Bill Blass. After learning from the best, Gurung finally launched his own line at New York Fashion Week in 2009. Since then, he has dressed some of the most influential women of the day including Oprah Winfrey, Demi Moore, and even Michelle Obama. Gurung's designs are playful and whimsical, but still maintain a chic and elegant quality. He adds exciting textures and details to otherwise classic sillhouettes to create a style that works for any woman. His Spring 2011 collection features dresses, dresses, and more dresses! His look is a more modest one this season, with longer hemlines as opposed to the mini dresses that have been popular in seasons past. But the essence of the collection is undoubtedly spring. Flowing sheer fabrics, bright colors, and fringe are just a few trends to take away from his line. To get a look like the ones he features, try a strapless or sleeveless dress that hits mid-calf, either in a bright color like coral or aqua, or a neutral like beige. Add strappy heels, sweep your hair up, and you have a chic look that will impress.
