The 2023 Met Gala took place on May 1st with its theme "In Honor of Karl" celebrating Karl Lagerfeld's catalogue of work as the creative director for some of the biggest names in the fashion industry.
Prabal Gurung dressed multiple muses for the event, including Alia Bhatt, Anok Yai, Isha Ambani, Kelsey Asbille, Quannah Chasinghorse, Quinta Brunson, Rita Ora, and Taika Waititi.
On October 13, 2022 the 38th Annual Night of the Stars Gala was held in Manhattan at Casa Cipriani. Guests and Celebrity Presenters included IMAN, Mariska Hargitay, Candace Bushnell, Sir John, Deepak Honor Michael Kors, Dionne Warwick, Christian Siriano, and Others.
Prabal Gurung was among the honorees for the night, and was awarded the Humanitarian Award. Politician Huma Abedin presented Prabal with the award, and he later went on to deliver a heartfelt speech.
Ariana DeBose stunned on the 2022 Emmys carpet wearing a custom creation by Prabal Gurung. The look was an Atelier Prabal Gurung Lilac Silk Chiffon Hand Draped Cape Gown and landed Ariana on the best dressed lists of Harper's Bazaar and Vogue.
This inspiration is seen throughout the collection with acid wash denim in corsetry and couture details to bring together these seemingly different worlds, the intricate hand draping of silks to create an effortless effect paired sculptural leather pieces, the juxtaposition of muted metallics with neon brights. Signature silhouettes such as structured suiting are reinterpreted and deconstructed, shown with sheer tulle and chantilly lace underpinnings as if catching hidden glimpses of intimate moments. Revealing more skin and celebrating the bodies, the people, who wear them is the boldest form of self-expression.
The 2022 Met Gala, hosted on May 2nd, held the theme of "Gilded Glamour" for the exhibition "In America: An Anthology of Fashion"; this is the second variation on the American fashion theme.
Prabal used stunning drapery, florals, and feathers to emphasize and bring a unique quality to each look. The gowns were paired with Tasaki Jewelry for a glamorous touch.
Prabal Gurung presents the Pre-Fall 2022 Collection. Prabal is continuously integrating inspiration from Nepal, NYC, and the concept of femininity with a bite.
