After striking out on his own four years ago, designer Prabal Gurung has already seen his pieces land
on countless celebrities—an amazing feat!—and he knows how special it
is each time stars like (left to right) Olga Kurylenko, Marion Cotillard, January Jones, and Jennifer Lawrence step onto the red carpet wearing
his clothes. “These actresses have a bazillion options, and you’re
competing with big corporate houses, too,” Gurung told InStyle.com at
the Ecco Domani Fashion
Foundation’s 2013 Winners’ Brunch in New York, where the designer
was on hand to toast to the next generation of grant winners (he won in 2010).
“So when [they choose mine], I’m always like, ‘Did this just happen?’ I
don’t think it will ever change for me. I’m always really grateful. When they
choose mine, it’s really gratifying and humbling.” And he expresses
his gratitude every time he sees his piece on a star: “Before I go to
bed, I always say, ‘Thank you so much,’ to the person.” And with his
collections gaining even more in popularity, expect to see his celebrity fan base keep
growing (and growing and growing!).
