WWD: Prabal Gurung RTW Fall 2012

An enigmatic title such as "Uncursed," which Prabal Gurung chose for his fall collection, begs for demystification. Backstage before the show, he said he found inspiration in the blue rose, which does not occur in nature but was engineered in Japan in 2004. "For me, the rose is so blasé because of its popularity," said Gurung, for whom the blue genus has reversed the curse of banality. There's more: The idea of creating something totally new set Gurung on a soul search. "We all have the dark and the light side, but for the longest time I've only put my happy self out there," he said. "Finally, professionally, mentally and spiritually, I'm in a place where I'm willing to deal with the dark side of me." For the full collection: http://bit.ly/wWYpld
