You can feel the Bahamian breeze wafting through the venue with this globally inspired collection for Prabal Gurung’s S/S 2020. It seems to manifest many vibes, a collection filled with lush floral explosions interlaced in the fabrics but also accessorized with brilliant heads wraps, belts and coolly crocheted bags. Structured but unstructured at the same time the clothes are effortlessly casual but with a sense elegance that prevails too. Lots of Red, White and Blue statements
