AAPI Fashion Designer That You Need To Know About: Prabal Gurung

Hello fashion lovers, I'm so glad to be with you all this Tuesday and I hope that all of had a great weekend.

I've been a huge fan of Prabal Gurung's world since I saw one of his designs in a fashion magazine that I was reading a few years ago. The way that he uses colors and the tailoring in his designs are so beautiful. Prabal Gurung was born in Singapore to Nepalese parents and raised by a single mother in Kathmandu. He studied fashion design at the National Institute of Fashion Technology in New Delhi, India, and apprenticed with the Indian designer Manish Arora. Gurung decided to move to the United States after watching The Oprah Winfrey Show.

Gurung relocated to New York City in 1999 to attend the Parsons School of Design, interning with Donna Karan during his studies. He went on to work with Cynthia Rowley and served as the design director at Bill Blass for five years. In 2009 he launched his own collection, known for its formal evening wear, structured pieces, vibrant color palettes, and clothes accentuating the waist. A year later Gurung received the Ecco Domani Fashion Foundation Award. His designs are now a familiar sight on the red carpet, with pieces worn by some of the world’s most high-profile women, including Kate Middleton, Priyanka Chopra, and the original source of his inspiration, Oprah Winfrey.

More than 80 percent of Gurung’s collection is produced in New York City, reflecting his commitment to supporting local workers. He has also championed inclusivity in the fashion world by featuring models of diverse backgrounds and partnering with the plus-size retailer Lane Bryant. Gurung has highlighted Nepal in his collections, including by incorporating the embroidery of Nepalese artisans, and his success is a source of pride in his home country. In 2011 Gurung and his siblings established the Shikshya Foundation Nepal, which focuses on childhood education.

The Spring/Summer 2020 Ready-To-Wear Collection was absolutely beautiful, this dress needs to be in my closet, I believe that there are real flowers on this dress as well.



This piece from the Fall/Winter 2018 Ready-To-Wear Collection is stunning, this would be perfect for a cold day in New York or Aspen. 




I love this piece from the Spring/Summer 2024 Ready-To-Wear Collection, the masculine of the bustier and the feminine aspect of the pants go very well together.



I'm obsessed with the whole Fall/Winter 2024 Ready-To-Wear Collection, every piece was so well designed, especially this dress.



Well, fashion lovers, I hope that all of you will have a great week, and as always, I really hope that you have enjoyed this blog post, I love you all so much, and until next time, Stay Beautiful.

Hello again Fashion Lovers and Happy Tuesday to you all. I hope that you all are doing well and always in style while doing so. A jacket is the one thing that every person needs to have in their closets. I feel a jacket is the finishing piece to a outfit just like a watch, a handbag, or the the right pair of shoes. Jackets are really are having a real moment in the Fashion world and I must say, I'm in love with Jackets right now and quite honestly, I have a feeling that they are going to be here for a couple seasons on the runways.  Now I know what many of you are thinking, A Bomber Jackets in the Heat of Summer.

Just Pleating Around

Hello again to all of my Fashion Lovers and Happy Tuesday to you all. I hope that you doing well and wearing something that makes you feel your absolute best.  Pleated Skirts are one of my favorite pieces of the Spring and Summer. It's just represents what Spring and Summer Fashion should be, Light and Airy. Another thing that I love about this trend is that this piece of Fashion is that it's seasonless. You can wear this in the Spring and Summer with a White Off The Shoulder shirt, in the Fall and Winter with a thick sweater and midi booties or I've seen girls wearing the pleated skirt with Adidas sneakers to completely keep it causal.   SheIn is one of my favorite bargain Fashion websites that never let me down when it comes to finding runway inspired pieces or something cool that I need in my closet. I saw this Black box pleated skirt on their website. The sizes range from Small To Large, I wished that they would offer it in Plus Size. I picture myself wearing...

Happy Tuesday and Welcome Back to my Blog, I'm so happy that you stopped by here. I hope that you all are ready to share in my love for the latest Fashion Trends that has my full, undivided, attention. When I was growing up, I was always under the impression that all of us had to wear Black, Gray, and any other neutral colors to match the whole Winter Season. I wore my dark colors and don't get me wrong that was nice but looking back at the outfits that I wore I wished that I would've added a touch of color to them ( Who wants to look like you are constantly going to a Funeral) I love how color gives you a little pep in your outfit and how it gives you a instant mood lifter that will anyone looking at your outfit. Today's Blog Post is all about Colorful Coats, I'm loving this trend so much because why would you want to stay in the background when you were meant to stand out. From rich, saturated, jewel tones, to beautiful pastels this is something I love to...
