Emerging fashion designer Prabal Gurung draws an international crowd to his shows in New York. Born in Singapore and raised in Kathmandu, he crossed the globe to work in Melbourne, study in Delhi and complete his education at Parsons School of Design in New York before launching his career. Recently nominated as a Council of Fashion Designers of America Vogue Fashion Fund finalist for 2010, his culturally diverse background conveys his fresh approach to accessory design.

Gurung applies bold primary colours and illusory shapes to create innovative crystal accessories that fuse form and function. His Cubist inspiration and use of crystal in a textured mosaic pattern brings a dynamic energy to his necklaces and pendants which sit alongside sculptural bracelets, earrings and brooches to create a statement collection.
