Prabul Gurung's J.Crew Collaboration Collection Is Now Ready to Pre-Order

Beautifully tailored pieces from the designer that has dressed the likes of Michelle Obama, Demi Moore, Zoe Saldana and Oprah Winfrey… yes, please. Design superstar Prabal Gurung, whose eponymous collection has been gaining steam ever since his first collection during New York’s Fashion Week in 2009, has collaborated with J-Crew as the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund award’s runner-up.

“Only 50 pieces total were created for a few of the designs,” states the official website. Ladies, get your credit cards in hand.

There are pieces from the coveted collection available for pre-order now. We love the Fit To Be Tied Pant at $198. The designer says, “There’s no right way to wear them.” It comes in blanched almond with zip fly, on-seam pockets, and cute ties on the bottom of each pant leg. Editors all over the interweb are raving over the navy Exploding Bow Dress, $395; The hot pink Exploding Bow Blouse, $225; and the white (wonderfully tailored) Bow-Dacious Denim Jacket, $400.

Also available on Jcrew.com, are Gurung’s inspirational sketches for the collection, mood board, fabric swatches and wonderful quotes.

FYI, if you were curious about the designer. Gurung has come a long way from his native Singapore and the city of Kathmandu in Nepal where he was raised. His internships and assistant jobs took him to Melbourne and London before he moved to NYC where he attended Parsons School of Design. During his stint in NY, he was an intern for Donna Karen, a part of Cynthia Rowley’s design team, and was design director at Bill Blass.
