Prabal Gurung Fall 2011 RTW

i never really paid attention to designer Prabal Gurung in previous seasons, but over the weeks before Feb's NYFW began i've been keeping his name in the back of my mind. i remember reading somewhere that he may be the new hot couturier of this generation, but that just might have be hearsay. or was it...? hearsay or not, this season proves why he should be and more.
