NYFW Redux: Prabal Gurung

I'm not saying I didn't enjoy Prabal Gurung, but it seemed suddenly a lot more French than ever, in a way that looked back in time rather in his typical forward. His eye for structure is still there but suddenly I felt like I was seeing the tailoring of Dior, the texture of Chanel, the froth and shapes of recent Valentino (and there were more than a few red columns). That said, when is it ever a bad thing to be compared to houses like those?

More black, white and red all over, after the cut.
