Prabal Gurung Black & White Silk Floral Dress – Made in New York, c. 2015–2016

A striking Prabal Gurung creation crafted in 100% silk, this dress perfectly captures the designer’s balance of modern New York precision and couture-inspired femininity.

Rendered in bold monochrome florals, the design features a fitted bodice and defined waist that flows into a gently flared, asymmetric skirt with sheer panel inserts — a technique Gurung often used to create movement and architectural fluidity. The long sheer sleeves, finished with couture-style covered buttons, echo the soft structural contrasts for which the designer is known.

During this period (2015–2016), Prabal Gurung designed and produced much of his collection in New York’s historic Garment District — one of the last major American designers to insist on local couture-level production rather than outsourcing overseas. His atelier became known for preserving hand-finishing and draping techniques that were vanishing from U.S. fashion manufacturing.

This dedication to craftsmanship led to his appointment to dress figures such as Michelle Obama, Kate Middleton, and Oprah Winfrey, who admired both his artistry and his commitment to ethical luxury. As a result, garments from this New York-made period are now considered collectible modern classics — a rare intersection of sustainability, craftsmanship, and contemporary design.
