Kathmandu- Prabal Gurung, a well-known American fashion designer of Nepali origin, is currently busy touring Nepal. Prabal, who arrived in Kathmandu after the big events like Oscar Awards and New York Fashion Week, is currently traveling in Nepal like a secret. There is no noise like the previous arrival.
As his family including his mother resides in Baneshwor, his arrival will be homely. Apart from this, Prabal is currently busy visiting various monasteries, archaeological sites and sightseeing. On Monday, he visited the Dakshinkali temple, where he observed the temple structure and architecture of the area. He has also published such artistic pictures through Instagram.
Moreover, he reached Patan area and observed there. Last time he came to Nepal, he had a grand program about fashion at Patan Durbar Square. In Kathmandu, he also met with Nepali fashion designers and discussed the development of Nepali fashion. Today’s famous Nepali fashion designer Astik Sherchan has mentioned that he was inspired by meeting Prabal.
In Nepal, Prabal has also conducted social projects including Shiksha Nepal. Prabal’s arrival in Nepal is special. Every time he comes to Nepal, he is influenced by Nepali art style and designs from New York Fashion Week to Met Gala. His future designs can be expected to be influenced by the pictures he took during his visit to the temple area, from the archaeological heritage. Looking at his past collections, he seems to be influenced by Nepali natural and archaeological heritage. This is definitely beneficial for Nepal. Prabal also led the movement against the attack on the people of Asian origin in America. At this year’s New York Fashion Week, models scaled the ramp wearing vermilion in Prabal’s designs. According to close sources, Prabal is preparing to return to New York in a few days.
Former American first lady Michelle Obama, British princess Kate Middleton, actors Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt, American supermodels and actresses have worn Prabal’s designs.
