Six months ago, Mr. Gurung started working with a graphic designer in London on a digital flower print. “I knew I wanted to incorporate themes of Nobuyoshi Araki’s art, specifically from a series called ‘Sensual Flowers,’” says the designer about the bold recurring print seen in this georgette-and-tulle A-line dress. “Like Araki’s work, everything is very pretty from afar, but up close there is something subversive about it.” The dress’s transparency, for one, hints at this. Mr. Gurung cites the saturated mixed-floral print dress as an incredibly laborious two-months affair requiring numerous revisions, in large part due to the fragile tulle cutouts and delicate two-seam construction. “I went back and forth, back and forth. First a sketch, then the paper pattern, draping, then another paper pattern when that didn’t work, the muslin, a fitting … and another muslin … another fitting.

Indeed, the two had just enough in common — color, motif, scale — to make you wonder. Of even greater coincidence: that very dress had originally been set aside for Ms. Smalls to wear in the show (she ended up having a scheduling conflict). What are the chances?
