There’s nothing quite like Fashion Week to kick off the season in style with a whole new set of trends to watch. And, while summer might have come to an unofficial close as of Labor Day, the New York City heatwave has kept celebrities and editors alike stepping out in their finest warm-weather attire — and we are here for it. On Friday, Sept. 8, Prabal Gurung hosted his Spring 2024 show with Lori Harvey sitting front row, wearing a colorfully printed knit mini dress with an integrated cape, posing in the rain for the camera snaps before heading in to sit front row beneath a clear bubble umbrella.
Crafted of teal and black, Harvey’s micro-mini silhouette was the perfect piece for the transitional season, as it was knit of a lofty weave yet still showing a healthy amount of skin. With the addition of a fringed scarf designed to be draped across her frame and pooling on the concrete beneath her feet, the look had everyone looking toward colder days ahead as well. As Harvey’s outfit was pulled straight from the Fall 2023 collection Gurung presented back in February of this year, it’s likely to be readily available for all to purchase shortly, although not quite yet.
For Spring 2024, Gurung presented a collection inspired by his own family’s journey to the city a quarter of a century ago and what that meant for the integration of cultures. In a press release, the designer explained, “In the spirit of my aunts’ journey as immigrants in 1980s New York City, who once struggled to balance their roots with the demands of the Western world, serve as a poignant symbol. Their story inspired me to imagine the reverse—instead, envisioning someone traveling from West to the East, embarking on a voyage, shedding the obligations of Western norms, unraveling of her own beliefs as she discovers and embraces the wisdom of her new world in the East.”
Rife with saturated pastels, bold prints, metallic materials, and embroidered details, this latest collection is one that finds the balance between the romantic and the bold; the new and the old; and the everyday with the luxe.
