NEW YORK FASHION WEEK: PRABAL GURUNG AW12

Whilst drooling over the New York Fashion week shows on Style.com this afternoon, I fell in love at first sight with Prabal Gurung's AW12 collection. I have to admit, Gurung is not a designer that has crossed my fashion radar before, but here was a pitch-perfect collection with look after wearable look that would fit effortlessly into my wardrobe.  

Hell and heaven was the inspiration behind the show that started with models dressed head-to-toe in pure black and culminated in angelic gold and white cocktail dresses gilded with metallics and delicately embellished with beads.

What really impressed me about Gurung's show was the wearability of all the looks; the iridescent sleeve coat (look 1) and the blue silk skater skirt with embellished charcoal sweater (look 2) are effortlessly cool and will easily work in the modern girl's wardrobe. Here's hoping iridescent sleeves hit the high street come AW, I'm head over heels in love!
