Walk like a Girl – Prabal Gurung

Description

Walk Like a Girl is the story of a queer boy who yearned for a world beyond the confines of prejudice he experienced growing up in Nepal and India. He came to New York, a hopeful immigrant lured by the siren song of the American Dream, only to encounter pernicious discrimination as he rose within the glossy world of New York high society and high fashion. Chronicling his rise to success as a fashion designer, Prabal reveals the inner workings of this beautiful, treacherous, rarefied world-and what it takes to survive.
With brutal honesty, Prabal takes us on a journey from Nepal to New York, and through the experiences that shaped him, to the designer he is today, dressing American icons like Oprah Winfrey, Michelle Obama, and Kamala Harris. A defiant anthem for the soul, Walk Like a Girl is an invitation to rewrite your story.
