Prabal Gurung launched his eponymous collection in February 2009 with a philosophy encompassing modern luxury, indelible style and an astute sense of glamour.

Gurung was born in Singapore and raised in Kathmandu, Nepal. After beginning his design career in New Delhi, he moved to New York to finish his studies at Parsons The New School for Design. Upon graduating, Gurung spent two years with Cynthia Rowley’s design and production teams. Soon after, he was appointed design director at the iconic Bill Blass, a post he held for five years until launching his own collection, PRABAL GURUNG.

A focus on quality and innovation has placed Gurung at the forefront of American fashion with designs worn by leading ladies including First Lady Michelle Obama and the Duchess of Cambridge. In 2010, he was the recipient of the Ecco Domani Fashion Foundation Award and a runner-up at the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund. In 2011, Gurung was  one of USA Network’s Character Approved Award recipients; named goodwill ambassador of Maiti Nepal; a finalist of the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Award and the recipient of the Swarovski Award for Womenswear at the CFDA Fashion Awards that year.

Prabal Gurung was also the official 2013 designer collaborator for Target and, in November 2014, launched a product collaboration with M·A·C Cosmetics. Most recently, he was honored with the inaugural Creativity Award from The Drawing Center.

Prabal Gurung has been a CFDA Member since 2011.
