Prabal Gurung's political views are not a secret. He has been very vocal about the problems with this country's administration, and has long incorporated political and feminist elements in his shows. For his 10th anniversary Spring 2020 collection, the designer had models walk out in the finale wearing sashes with the words "Who Gets To Be American?" on display. The question itself is timely, as news about border control and immigration continue to be important issues our political leaders are having to face. Gurung is an immigrant himself (he was born in Singapore and grew up in Nepal), is known for his inclusive and diverse casts — this show was no exception. Here's everything else you need to know about the collection.
