Prabal Gurung Resort 2027 arrives with an unexpected restraint, and it turns out the reason is a very early alarm clock. The collection, which Gurung has titled ‘The First Light,’ draws on the designer’s habit of waking before dawn and sitting with the particular hush that precedes the city’s noise. ‘I’m calling the collection “The First Light,”‘ Gurung said. ‘I’m a super-early riser and… I’ve always found the solitude and melancholy in the early morning to be quite beautiful.’ That is either a very genuine creative statement or very good copy. Given the clothes, it reads as the former. The…

He started at a regional evening paper, moved to a mid-sized digital outlet covering UK news, and spent three years as a general assignment reporter before going freelance. He has covered inquests, council elections, infrastructure announcements, and the kind of stories that sit on page five but matter on page one.

Prabal Gurung Resort 2027 is named ‘The First Light,’ and if that sounds like the title of a very calm Pinterest board, the collection mostly earns it. Gurung, a self-described early riser, built the season around the atmospheric stillness of those minutes before the city wakes up: solitude, a little melancholy, no audience. His reference point was Saul Leiter, the photographer who spent decades shooting New York’s streets in a style so impressionistic it looked more like painting than reportage. Leiter (1923–2013) was an early pioneer of colour photography who worked as a fashion photographer for Harper’s Bazaar and British…
The Prabal Gurung Resort 2027 collection, titled ‘The First Light,’ is built around a single private image: a woman dressing alone, before the world gets any say in it. It is, for a designer known for a certain sociable exuberance, a quietly radical pivot. ‘I’m a super-early riser and… I’ve always found the solitude and melancholy in the early morning to be quite beautiful,’ Gurung said. The spark was Saul Leiter, the American photographer whose atmospheric street scenes (soft-focused, colour-drenched, caught through rain-streaked glass) have been championed by the foundation bearing his name since 2014. Gurung’s version of Leiter’s world…
Prabal Gurung Resort 2027 is built around a feeling most people rush past: the particular stillness of early morning, before the noise arrives. Gurung has named the collection ‘The First Light,’ and he means it literally. He wakes early, moves directly into meditation, and has long found, as he put it, ‘the solitude and melancholy in the early morning to be quite beautiful.’ The artistic anchor is photographer Saul Leiter, whose atmospheric colour work made New York City streets look like passages of memory rather than fact. Leiter’s career arc is worth knowing: his first colour photography exhibition was held…
The Prabal Gurung Resort 2027 collection is called ‘The First Light,’ and the name is doing real work. This is not a collection about spectacle. It is about the quiet before anyone is watching. Solitude as a Starting Point Gurung has built his reputation, at least in part, on a certain social electricity: the galas, the front rows, the red carpets. So it is worth pausing on what inspired this season. He wakes early, meditates, and describes that window between sleep and the city’s noise as the moment he feels most alive to New York and the women who inhabit…
Prabal Gurung Resort 2027 arrives with an unexpected gentleness: a collection the designer calls ‘The First Light’, built around the atmospheric hush of an early morning before the city properly wakes. It is, in his own words, a meditation on solitude. And, unusually for a fashion collection, it actually feels like one. Gurung has described himself as a super-early riser, and according to WWD, he meditates immediately after waking. It is in that still, pre-noise window that he says he draws his sharpest inspiration, watching the city stir from its overnight self. ‘I see them going to work or coming…
Prabal Gurung Resort 2027 is built around a single mood: the particular stillness of very early morning, before the world has made any demands. ‘I’m calling the collection “The First Light”,’ Gurung said. ‘I’m a super-early riser and… I’ve always found the solitude and melancholy in the early morning to be quite beautiful.’ The reference point was Saul Leiter (1923–2013), the American artist who was, for much of the 1940s and 1950s, virtually the only non-commercial photographer working in colour. His atmospheric New York street scenes have a quality of looking at the world through fogged glass, catching moments that…
Prabal Gurung Resort 2027 is named ‘The First Light,’ and the title does a lot of quiet heavy lifting. Inspired by the stillness of early mornings, the collection is less about a statement and more about a feeling: that private moment before the world gets loud. Prabal Gurung Resort 2027: Tailoring the Quiet Moment ‘I’m a super-early riser,’ Gurung said, ‘and …I’ve always found the solitude and melancholy in the early morning to be quite beautiful.’ The muse this season is a woman getting dressed, unobserved. Gurung wanted to capture that specific beat of introspection before public life resumes, and…
Markarian Resort 2027 finds Alexandra O’Neill in a decisively personal mood, channelling a Jackson Hole honeymoon into a collection that leans Western without ever losing the elevated eveningwear DNA the brand was built on. O’Neill returned from her honeymoon mere hours before hosting her appointments, which goes some way to explaining the immediacy of what landed on the rails. ‘I was inspired by this Western aesthetic. I kind of went back to my roots in Colorado, but wanted to give it a bit more of an elevated touch,’ she said. The result is a collection that threads a needle most…
Tory Burch Resort 2027 arrives with a clear message: no pivot to minimalism, no tonal restraint, no apologies. Where plenty of resort collections this season have drifted toward cool, clean lines, Burch is doing the opposite, deepening a design conversation she has been building across her recent runways. The season’s opening image said a lot. Anderson .Paak turned up to the Met Gala wearing white patent Reva flats from Tory Burch, paired with a star-embroidered jacket, oval shades, and his trademark wig. Burch had nothing to do with the rest of the outfit, but the eclectic spirit was unmistakably hers.…
