New York Fashion Week: Models dominate the runway at Prabal Gurung’s show in gorgeous and sindoor outfits | Fashion trends
Does a butterfly know it was once a caterpillar? How do we fill the fleeting moments between beginning and end, joy and despair? With moody chic clothes, of course. Prabal Gurung has been thinking deeply this season. He installed a mirrored square runway that reflects a luxurious blue light display at the main branch of the New York Public Library for a fashion Week Friday’s projection explores the Buddhist concept of “anichya” or impermanence.
In butterfly motifs, wool coats and colors of vermilion, saffron, burgundy and dusty pink, Gurung is thinking about his hometown, Nepal, where he hasn’t been since before the pandemic. He was motivated by a 10-day meditation retreat he recently went through to “silence everything.”
“In Nepal, we talk all the time about it, what it is and how long it might take,” he told The Associated Press backstage. interview. “And there’s actually some optimism to that, especially in these challenging times.”
Part of the idea, he says, is to find hope “in dark places.” “There is light after darkness.”

His shadow is sharper and longer this time around. His asymmetry challenged the idea of harmony. He drapes gently and at the same time creates sharp corners. There were lithe, lithe dresses, woolen coats, and glittering crystals and gold.
In short, Gurung explains, New York Fashion Week has been a “magical, mysterious journey for him. An Inward Spiritual Journey” was taken at night while returning home in Nepal.
Mood, yes, but hopeful in a turquoise and emerald silk organza suit, a black leather jacket with a pink fleece collar and his butterfly in a colored turtleneck dress black and white, and another all red and black with sexy cut-outs at the hips.
There’s an oversized ivory butterfly knit sweater and a pink and scarlet embroidered cocoon coat. “But it has a lot of power,” Gurung said.
It all grew out of the silence during his 10-day vipassana retreat, where reading, phones, and exercise were forbidden. On the third day, a painted lady butterfly landed on his window, “and it got me thinking.”
Growing up with “impermanence,” Gurung says, he wants to accept the view that nothing is fixed but need not fear constant changes. They had to embrace me, he said, and he just had the right clothes for the job.
Kelsea Ballerini, who wowed in Gurung’s yellow dress at the Grammys, was among his front row guests. She was accompanied by Becky G and Alyah Chanelle Scott.
