Prabal Gurung’s new memoir, Walk Like a Girl, tells his life story: how he went from being a bullied queer boy in Nepal who was always an outsider to starting his own label in New York City, designing gowns for First Lady Michelle Obama, Vice President Kamala Harris and Oprah Winfrey.
Prabal says he loves all kinds of food, but he is OBSESSED with momos, the steamed dumplings from his home country. He tells host Rachel Belle why they're so special to him and which A-list celebrity asked him to take her out for her first momo, when none of his friends or dates seemed interested.
From a $2,300 Chopova Lowena Hellmann’s mayo purse to T-shirts featuring images of tinned anchovies to major fashion houses that open restaurants, food and fashion are currently intersecting in a major way. A few experts join the show to talk about the psychology of why brands are featuring edible images; how a tomato purse reflects our country’s current culture and economy; and why we’re so eager to buy it all.
