prabal gurung fall 2013 {details}

I still get chills just thinking about this show -- everything from the leather harnesses over fine silk dresses to the military-inspired drum beat music, I tip my proverbial hat to you, Prabal. Not to mention, I'd just about kill for these boots. Please. And thank you.

Feather flourishes. Ethereal draped silks. Whimsically futuristic prints. I literally got chills watching this show -- quite hauntingly beautiful.

This past Saturday marked the biggest highlight of my Fashion Week thus far -- covering the backstage madness at the Prabal Gurung Spring/Summer 2013 show (insert largest smile ever here). While I edit down the massive amount of photos I took, I hope you enjoy a few of my favorite backstage moments -- from the misty atmosphere in Pier 57 to models sneaking in some light reading while getting their makeup done.

Want more? Be sure to stay tuned for tomorrow's post with highlights from the show itself!

Someone pinch me -- this is really happening.

I'm excited to announce that this Saturday, I'll be covering the backstage happenings at Prabal Gurung's Spring/Summer 2013 show (!!) alongside my good friends Heather and Alicia. Being a longtime fan of Prabal's work (case in point, see here and here) I can't wait to get a sneak peek at the madness that ensues behind the curtain before the show begins. Make sure you tune in for all my Twitter and Instagram updates at 10 a.m. EST and if you can't wait to see all the full looks (let's admit it, who wants to wait?) you can peep the collection live starting at 12 noon EST on the Prabal Gurung Facebook page.

To prepare for the big day -- and trust me -- preparations are in order, we had the amazing opportunity earlier this week to stop by Prabal's new office in the Garment district to partake in, what else, but a little dress up. (I might need someone to pinch me again, here). Be sure to check out how Heather and Alicia style their looks as well!

And to top this all off (yes, there's more) -- you can snag some Prabal for yourself! Like my look on Facebook here for a chance to win my t-shirt. 

Now how's that for a happy Fashion Week, ladies!?

There are no words to describe my experience at the Prabal Gurung show. Aside from spotting some of my all-time favorite style icons in the crowd from Ms. Taylor Tomasi Hill herself to the always charming (and always smiling) Bill Cunningham, the pieces in the show literally took my breath away. Exaggerated visors. Sheer embellished trains on gowns sprinkled with feathers. Gunmetal collars emblazoned with longhorns.  Dramatic side slits. 

Such a perfect mix of evening glamour and quirky edge. Needless to say, I'm still pinching myself after this one! 

Want more? Be sure to check out my good friend Heather's coverage of the backstage madness that ensued just before the models hit the runway! Still want more? Stay tuned later today to see what I wore to the show.
