For Fall/Winter 2022, Prabal Gurung once again taps into his Nepalese roots to create modern shapes and silhouettes that are glamorous and flirty. Exposed lace-up midriffs, cut-outs, sequins, and feathers are parts of his eveningwear universe that discreetly refers to elements from Nepal’s rich cultural heritage.

It’s about women celebrating their come back to the real world, not necessarily in a modest way, but definitely with full-on urban sophistication.
Prabal’s creative charisma is in casting light on timeless values and achieving subtle references to tradition. A feathered midi dress or fluffy outerwear has textural echo on those ready to make a fashion statement. His motifs are bold and whimsical, yet at the same time unexpectedly classic.

She is stylish, strong, and unapologetic, she feels comfortable in bold colors and motifs, and she is determined to have fun. Like no other, this designer creates showstoppers that are super-sleek and meticulously executed.
