To Celebrate 10 Years in Business, Prabal Gurung Threw Two Back-to-Back Parties

Following Prabal Gurung’s spring 2020 fashion show, where a stunning finale of models wearing “Who gets to be American?” pageant sashes walked triumphantly down the runway, Gurung and friends retreated to downtown’s forever hotspot Indochine for a dinner celebrating ten years of his eponymous brand. Gurung’s team had been working hard on the politically charged spring fashion show and a retrospective book, so a fashion week party was just what the doctor ordered. Nell Diamond, Mia Moretti, Victor Glemaud, Varsha Thapa, and Dara Allen all joined Gurung to celebrate the milestone 10-year anniversary.

The dinner party resembled Gurung’s past events. It was a sophisticated affair with close friends, gorgeous Tasaki pearl jewelry, and potent The Glenlivet cocktails. Guests enjoyed the best of Indochine’s menu, including their steamed Chilean sea bass and shaking beef. The mood was both celebratory and sentimental, especially during Gurung’s speech; he choked up when thanking his siblings and mother in a heart-warming moment. Looking back on his first ten years in business, Gurung cited his foundation, dressing Michelle Obama, and his style evolution as career highlights. Of the next decade, he told Vogue, “I hope I am able to continue telling the story about the new America and what America looks like through the lens of an immigrant, and that I can tell this story on a bigger platform.”

After dinner, the party migrated over to the Gitano Jungle Room for further celebration and after-party dancing. Leigh Lezark, Shaggy, and Cuba Gooding Jr. joined in on the fun, as Gurung and friends started a spirited dance circle. Here’s to another ten years of creativity, activism, and success!
