The Prabal Gurung Fall 2012 show, aptly titled 'Uncursed,' started off with all-black ensembles, ranging from capes and militaristic hats to dresses with mesh inserts and velvet panels. Subsequently, the show began displaying hints of color with iridescent turquoise and fuchsia accents, and then large jolts of [vivid, electric blue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pantone-dualities) on satin skirts and sweaters. This vibrant blue was then mixed with [swirling, digital prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixelated) in a soft sky hue, which adorned structured dresses, A-line skirts and pantsuits. The collection then progressed into white gowns and frocks with ostrich feather skirts, finishing with all-over gold ensembles and heavy embroidery. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Gradual Transformation Fashion:** Fashion brands can explore the use of gradual transformation in collections to create an exciting and dynamic visual experience for customers. - **Color Gradation Trends:** The use of color gradation in fashion and other industries can provide opportunities for new and unique visual experiences for customers. - **Print and Texture Gradation:** Creative use of prints and textures can add depth and visual interest to products, making them stand out in a crowded market. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Industry:** Fashion brands can take inspiration from Prabal Gurung's gradual transformation collections and incorporate it into their own designs. - **Interior Design Industry:** The use of color and texture gradation in interior design can add depth and visual interest to spaces, creating a unique and dynamic environment for customers. - **Graphic Design Industry:** The use of color and texture gradation in graphic design can make designs more visually engaging and memorable for customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Whimsical Couture Settings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanel-spring-summer-2026.md) - [Couture Color Palettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pantone-dualities.md) - [Pixelated Runway Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixelated.md) - [Archetypal Fashion Debuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-famiglia-collection.md) - [Dynamic Fall-Centric Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jordanluca-1.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Heritage Winter Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/high-winter.md)
