Prabal Gurung has opened his first ever flagship store at 367 Bleecker Street in New York’s West Village. The store has a rustic wooden floor and modern style rails and shelves for Gurung’s designs. The front window features a light installation by Edward Ross that was designed to resemble sunrise and sunset in Gurung’s native Nepal and the overall feel is indeed a mix of Gurung’s Nepali heritage and New York design.
“I’ve always dreamed about having my own store, and I wanted to bring my roots and my heritage,” Gurung told Vogue. “Women will come in and see these glamorous sequin dresses next to slogan T-shirts and cashmere shawls from Nepal, where our knitwear is made mostly by women. The brand is deeply rooted in what it means to make clothes, so I want people to figure all of that out.” A percentage of sales from the store will benefit the Shikshya Foundation in Nepal which Gurung himself founded in 2011.
