Prabal Gurung is a fashion designer who operates his business and designs with his heart as much as his hands. As a committed environmentalist, humanist, and social advocate, Prabal blurs the lines between commercial and civic duty with powerful results. Just recently, Prabal organized the donation of thousands of protective face masks to New York City hospitals serving at-risk communities. He is committed to effecting change in America and produces eighty-percent of his garments in New York. He also provides tremendous benefit to his home country of Nepal through the Shikshya Foundation. His artistry in fashion is undeniable, and his tenth-anniversary book, "Prabal Gurung: Style and Beauty with a Bite," is a must-have for fashion students and enthusiasts. Paula Wallace interviewed Gurung via Zoom before a live audience of SCAD students as part of SCAD's Guests and Gusto program.
