Podcasts about Prabal Gurung

This week on The Leftovers, never-before-heard audio from Prabal Gurung, celebrated fashion designer and author of the new memoir Walk Like a Girl. Prabal has made a habit of ordering a cheeseburger and fries in every city he visits – he tells host Rachel Belle who makes the best burger in the world. He recalls the magical celebrity sighting he had the first time he went to a restaurant in New York City after moving there from Nepal, and he talks about what he would pack to eat on weeks-long treks in the Nepalese mountains.

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.

The Stories – “The first dress that I ever draped was the dress that got on the cover of Women's Wear Daily, for my first collection. That was life changing. It was a dress that Zoe Saldaña wore. It was also the version of a dress that I made for Oprah for her magazine cover. The dress that Michelle Obama wore to a White House Correspondents' Dinner changed my trajectory.”The Backstory – "It was at Bill Blass that I did my Phd; my Masters." “I grew up in a household where we could talk about fashion, love, music, dance – everything – at the dinner table. Nothing was off limits. And when I came to America, especially in the fashion world, when I would ask questions, people would say, ‘No, I don't want to talk about that.' I was shocked.” “You have to figure out what is happening around you, and survive it. In order for me to survive and really live my dreams, I had to be my own cheerleader. I allowed myself to feel things, but then also to move on.”Wisdom Rains –  “'Too much' and 'too little' are words that have been hurled at me ever since I was little and I've learned to brush it off.” “I've learned that you can't please everyone, all of the time.” “If you're living your life as part of a marginalized group, you're in constant fight-or-flight mode and you don't even realize it. Then that gets amplified with what's happening politically, culturally.” “In watching my mother I realized that elegance isn't a posture; it's a practice.” “Early on, I learned that I was never going to get any validation, I was seen as a ‘cautionary tale'; and what that did was, it freed me from ever needing any.” “I think it's very important for all of us to live in the world exploring what we want to do in life, and having that encompass joy, purpose, and impact.”On Inspo – “My mother is my blueprint for strength.”On Writing His Memoir – “Editing down was really challenging. I made sure that it was done with grace. This is not a salacious, take-down book. That's not my being. I wanted to tell a story. While writing, it was really challenging to relive things. But it was also cathartic.”On The Fashion Industry – "What I love about the fashion industry, which often doesn't get shared, is the camaraderie that we have. There's a genuine sense of support and understanding amongst all the creatives and entrepreneurs. It's not easy. It might look fabulous and wonderful, but the hard work is real hard work. I always say five percent of it is glamour, the rest is sheer hard work.”On Anna Wintour – “I know she can be polarizing, but the industry is better because of her.”On Cynthia Rowley – “She had an independent brand and she worked really hard. What I really loved about her, and I'm inspired by her constantly, is that even in the hardest times she was always joyful. She was always optimistic.”What Else – “Towards that time, we started the foundation and that's where I would say everything shifted for me. We started with twelve girls, and we've gone to more than three hundred children. These are streetworker's children; inmates' children; these are children who have no access to education and a livelihood”Obsixed – A collection of Prabal's current lifestyle obsessions.Discover more + Shop The Podcast:parabalgurung.comWalk Like A Girl by Prabal GurungPrabal Gurung Polka Dot Brocade Flounce MinidressProem Eau de Parfum by U BeautyTracie Martyn SpaPrabal Gurung: Style and Beauty with a BitePride and Prejudice by Jane AustenDiscover the episode and more on storyandrain.comfollow @storyandraintalks and @storyandrain on Instagram follow @storyandraintalks and @storyandrain on Threadsall about the host

Alexandra is an entrepreneur on a mission to clean up the toxic textile industry. She founded AU Baby to bring the world's first purely plant-dyed, functional fiber baby blanket to market. With over a decade of knit design experience in luxury fashion (Opening Ceremony, Prabal Gurung) and as a material innovator in performance sports (Nike), she's now turned her attention from the catwalk to the crib.

New York Fashion Week baby! We stuck with our tried and true formula of each picking three shows, and it was a wild ride! From spiritual encounters with butterflies to fruits, designers drew inspiration from more and more creative places. Some kept a traditional muse (Christian Cowan and Judy Garland), while others found inspiration in more vague concepts (Rodarte discovered the magic of fairies in their collection). We had some favorites pop up (Michael Kors, Area) along with some others that just struck a cord this season (Prabal Gurung)! Don't miss it!

If you love fashion you already know about Prabal Gurung and his legendary career dressing some of the world's most famous women including former First Lady Michelle Obama and the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton. But, it's not often that we hear his thoughts on our rapidly changing culture. The world might feel tense these days but as Prabal tells Amanda in this latest episode of her special series, The Conversation: About the Men, “True empathy is employed during time that is difficult, when you're challenged, when it's the toughest time.” We couldn't agree more. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I am so thrilled and honored to have American fashion designer, Phillip Lim on this week's episode of The City Confessions to talk all about House of Slay, partnership with Diageo and his commitment to amplify Asian voices.  The structure of this episode is as follows: - How Phillip Lim got started in the fashion industry: breaking the expectation of being a lawyer and doctor growing up in an asian family and following his dreams as a designer and creative  - House of Slay: what it is and how it got started (social platform to amplify Asian voices and create a safe and fun community) - Partnership with Diageo: how that came to be and why the partnership makes sense for both companies  - What his Superpower is in House of Slay Comic: protecting family, friends and community - Opening up about stage fright as his confession even though he is a public figure and fashion designer Feel free to leave a positive review on Apple Podcasts and Spotify if you enjoyed this episode and be sure to share this with a friend!

Hear ye! Hear ye! The event of all events: The Met Gala was here, and we need to take a step back and celebrate fashion's biggest night! Get our latest episode now!   Never heard of the Met Gala? Ever been to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City? Doesn't matter.    All you need to know is that this is THE celebrity event of the year featuring the most outrageous costumes and looks curated by top designers, which raises money for the The Met's Costume Institute each year.     If you want to see all the outfits? Please head over to Holly's Pinterest board and follow along!   No matter your movie career, income bracket, or societal stature, it's the coolest of the cool kids that get to go.    As exclusive as it is political, to be invited is somewhat equal to being invited to a ball hosted by royalty. You just don't say no. You show up, with bells on. Literally.     The theme this year was centered around the “Gilded Age” in American Fashion, focusing on New York's elite in the last decades of the 19th Century, around 1870 to 1900.   Think white ties, large hair with hats to match, opera gloves dresses to the floor, and very tightly nipped corsets galore.   So, join Holly and Nolan this week to see who understood the assignment, and who forgot their homework. They have graded the papers, and the results are in:    A+ Awards:   Blake Lively and husband Ryan Reynolds were the co-chairs of this year's Gala.  As such, Blake pulled off an epic dress reveal for her arrival on the Met steps, where gala assistants untied the bow of her shimmery rose gold strapless gown by Atelier Versace to reveal a bright blue-green train underneath.    Her rose gold opera gloves also changed to blue-green, with her colors paying homage to New York City architecture, her crown paying homage to the Statue of Liberty, and the golden dress design symbolizing the Empire State Building.    We. Are. Not. Worthy.   Anna Wintour, the Queen of All Fashion, wore a colorful ensemble Chanel which featured a feather-embellished cape, and a long matching skirt that flowed down to the ground.   Of course, her outfit was gorgeous, and she even swapped out her classic sunglasses for a TIARA– which she owns! But Nolan is just bored with her same dress profile year after year.    Sarah Jessica Parker, as always, was our star student with extra credit and the teacher's pet. Her dramatic Christopher John Rodgers ball gown and exaggerated hat proved she understood the assignment again this year.    Probably Nolan's favorite of the night was Bee Carrozzini Shaffer (Anna Wintour's daughter) in in a dramatic, lacy black Alexander McQueen gown. Elegant with a capital E!   And Kaia Gerber in Alexander McQueen. She was straight out of a fairy tale.   Holly has just become the president of the Winnie Harlow Fan Club. Winnie looked like an absolute angel. Like from heaven. She wore a whimsical white tulle creation by Iris Van Herpen with an amazing headpiece. No one does the Met Gala like Iris van Herpen. No. One.   Michelle Yeoh: The epitome of GORGEOUS, and totally age appropriate, she wore a green upcycled silk-faille gown by Prabal Gurung. The piece featured a sharply draped bodice with an off-the-shoulder silhouette, complete with a sweeping skirt with a fluted hem. The elegant ensemble was finished with a dramatic matching cape. Amplifying the glamour of Yeoh's outfit was a show-stopping diamond and pearl Tasaki statement necklace — also designed by Gurung.    Thank you, Madame! A++   Alicia Keys in Ralph Lauren. She looked BEYOND in a NYC skyline cape and gown. TO DIE FOR.   Another love: Lizzo (and her flute!) in Thom Brown. That Coat!  Nolan wants to wear it to Whole Foods. He wants to wear it to the bodega. He wants to wear it everywhere. It took 32,000 man hours to make that coat, and we are here to celebrate it!   Awkwafina arrived in a custom Gucci salmon pink and multicolor tulle puff sleeve dress. Holly says she has never looked better!   Cardi B. “Goes for the Gold” in Versace– and was very well dressed. Holly loves, not Nolan's thing. The gown was wrapped in Versace gold chains and coins.   La La Anthony in an off-the-shoulder burgundy gown: What was the symbolism with her outfit?    Holly didn't like it, Nolan said they may be more to the backstory, but these two just could not agree.   And speaking of not agreeing, our hosts spend WAY too much time discussing Kacey Musgraves' floor-length Prada gown that featured jeweled embellishments and a low-cut bodice that was adorned with a bow. Musgraves completed her look with black satin gloves, an ostrich fan and plenty of jewels, including a stunning diamond necklace. Holly LOVED!!    Who forgot to do to the homework?   Billie Eilish opted for a pale green and cream Gucci corset gown, crystal-adorned black choker, and a messy-chic updo. Nolan thinks the color is terrible. And thinks it looks too prostitute-y.    That being said, he thinks it is the best she has looked in a long time. She seemed confident what she was wearing. He liked that she was wearing something with a lot of shape and structure and still felt confident and it made him happy for her because he hopes that now she'll be a little bit more confident in herself.   What did Holly think? “She looked like she was a madam and an 1800s whorehouse.”  Allllrighty then!   Kylie Jenner made Nolan want to run into oncoming traffic. It was just so bad, in so many ways. “It looks like a sad mix between the bride with no budget and bad taste. A 1950s nurse.”  Just no.   Except, it was so bad, it was good! It was so bad that it has it has sparked a million memes. They are hysterical and all over Instagram and that makes up for how bad that outfit was. It was insulting.   NOTE: If you want to honor the late Virgil Abloh of OFF WHITE, you wear one of his great dresses. Not that trainwreck. Period.    Camila Cabello in Atelier Prabal Gurung. Nolan says no to the dress. Holly says it looked like a confetti cake with skittles inside.   Emma Stone wearing a white knee-length flapper-style dress by Louis Vuitton. Did she draw the Louis Vuitton short straw?    Anderson.Paak –  no bowl haircuts, please. Ever.    Emma Corrin from the Crown in a Miu Miu oversized jacket and shorts with a top hat.  Not elegant.   Kourtney Kardashian in Thom Browne. She had no clue what the theme was and said so on national TV. RUDE. And the outfit she wore was completely wrong for her body type. Major FASHION CRIME!!   And - what about the trend to have influencers invited to this prestigious event?  Is it ok, or no?  Nolan simply says: “Go Home.”   Nolan had an interesting take on Shawn Mendes, that may or may not have anything to do with the Gilded Age or Met Gala, but he muses:  How long are we pretending Shawn Mendes is straight? We mean…. Really.    And OMG: Glenn Close in pink Valentino! We mean PINK! Wow, she killed it, AND got the assignment.   Okay, we talked smack about just everybody. If you want to SEE all these outfits, head over to Holly's Pinterest board and you can judge for yourself.    FASHION CRIMES PODCAST “The Best Fashion Friend You Never Knew You Needed” www.fashioncrimespodcast.com

Joline Rivera knew from an early age that she wanted something more and wanted to give something more. On her own, she put herself through college, becoming the first member of her Mexican-American family to earn a BA in Graphic Design.  While she achieved success at one of the world's largest publishing houses, she knew true fulfillment would only come by feeding her entrepreneurial spirit. Joline left the comfort of corporate life to become one of the most sought-after independent creative directors and trend-spotters in the food industry, creating content and publications for Meredith Publishing, Food Network, KOHLS, USFoods, and more. Joline noticed America's shifting stance on cannabis during the early stages of legalization, but was convinced that most were looking for alternatives to smoking. She then changed the trajectory of the male-dominated, fast-growing $10 billion cannabis industry in 2017 as the only minority woman to launch a media brand, beginning with the launch of Kitchen Toke, a visually driven print and digital property reporting on culinary cannabis for health and wellness. Dominating that space, she became the go-to for creating and curating culinary cannabis events in the lodging, retail, and music arena; she created the first infused dinner for NY, Fashion designer, Prabal Gurung and Bloomingdale's, Hoxton Hotel, and Lyrical Lemonade, a three daylong hip-hop festival on Chicago's southside.  In this episode, Joline shares that putting herself first has allowed her to make a difference in the lives of so many. Joline's key to success? Always trusting her gut!  Learn more about Joline and Kitchen Toke here.

Dan Martensen’s fashion and portrait photographs have an aesthetic of natural beauty. Often photographing on location and in rural environments, Martensen’s relaxed and collaborative approach creates images of genuine ease and spontaneity. Martensen studied photography at the Rhode Island School of Design and brings the qualities of an observational photographer—finding meaning within the scenarios that unfold in front of his camera—to his commercial work. With his clear talent for framing the experience of his encounters with his subjects, Martensen is a regular editorial contributor to magazines including i-D, Self Service, The Last Magazine, American Vogue, British Vogue, Vogue Germany, Vogue Paris, and WSJ. Magazine. His commercial clients include H&M, Mango, Jimmy Choo, Maybelline, Mugler, Nike, Prabal Gurung, Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger and Zara, and special projects created for Alexander Wang and David Yurman. Since the early 2000s, Dan Martensen has been traveling and photographing across America and principally in the States of the Southwest. Martensen seeks out the visual paradoxes and embedded histories of the region, taking cues and his creative departure from the work of the legendary chroniclers of the American vernacular; William Eggleston, Joel Sternfeld and Stephen Shore. A selection of sixty photographs from this project is published in Martensen’s book Photographs from the American Southwest, designed by Berger + Wild. Martensen’s five-year photographic collaboration with the seven Angulo siblings—the subjects of Crystal Moselle’s feature-length documentary film The Wolfpack—was published in fall 2015 and designed by Dean Langley. Dan is based in both London and New York. Host: Jamie Neale @jamienealejn Discussing rituals and habitual patterns in personal and work life.

With over 80 percent of his collections made in New York, Gurung is committed to sustaining domestic employment, income, and production. His family's Shikshya Foundation Nepal provides education to children to impact his country's future. Watch the full video with captions on YouTube.

Today I’m speaking with Soozie Heo, designer of the label Mai Mia. Mai Mia focuses on swimwear that can also be incorporated into your everyday wardrobe as layering pieces. I am so excited to pick Soozie’s brain as she has such an incredible background in the fashion industry. A Parsons alum, Soozie got her start working for Helmut Lang and Prabal Gurung in NYC. She then moved to LA and started designing for mega brands like NastyGal and Revolve. Other successes include designing all of the tour merch for the Chainsmokers - pretty cool :) Mai Mia uses sustainable fabrics from consumer waste like fishing nets, industrial plastic waste and fabric scraps. Not only that, all pieces have SPF 50+ UV protection! Check out the full IGTV on my Instagram @natasha.colvin x Tash

Community Threads... Prabal Gurung is a fashion designer who operates his business and designs with his heart as much as his hands. As a committed environmentalist, humanist, and social advocate, Prabal blurs the lines between commercial and civic duty with powerful results. Just recently, Prabal organized the donation of thousands of protective face masks to New York City hospitals serving at-risk communities. He is committed to effecting change in America and produces eighty-percent of his garments in New York. He also provides tremendous benefit to his home country of Nepal through the Shikshya Foundation. His artistry in fashion is undeniable, and his tenth-anniversary book, "Prabal Gurung: Style and Beauty with a Bite," is a must-have for fashion students and enthusiasts. Paula Wallace interviewed Gurung via Zoom before a live audience of SCAD students as part of SCAD's Guests and Gusto program.

Today's guest is an incredible talent and one of my oldest childhood friends, Andrea Brocca. At age 14, Andrea interned for Alice Temperley and produced the Andrea dress, YES AT 14! And by 16 years old, he was hailed youngest haute couture designer in the world by the Guiness World Book of records, succeeding Yves Saint Laurent! He had his own boutique at 16 in Dubai's Wafi Mall and left it all behind to master his craft by going on to study at La Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne followed by a degree in Fashion Design and Marketing at London's prestigious Central Saint Martins. In between he's worked for Prabal Gurung in New York, Ellery in Paris, and most recently Bottega Veneta in Milan. Around 2 weeks ago, he debuted his central saint martins graduate collection “SENANAYAKE” on the first-ever Virtual London Fashion Week, he's been in the press multiple times since, most notably in Vogue Arabia, Grazia UK, and Lampoon Mag. We discuss how he managed to create such a masterpiece under lockdown restrictions in Dubai, after he left London when quarantine was coming into effect so that he could be with his family. I ask Andrea if he thinks that traditional Fashion Week's will become a thing of the past, who his inspirations are, what he learned from his work experiences, and his opinion on fast fashion. An incredible thing happened during the recording of this episode, when notorious Fashion Journalist and advocate for emerging talent Sarah Mower reposted Andrea's collection to her Instagram, Andrea's reaction says it all, pure happiness and I am so happy I could be a part of that, it goes to show Andrea's passion for his craft and his genuine nature and excitement for his success. He deserves it. I'll be leaving the links to his Instagram and all of the press pieces on his collection - Please share his work if you can!

In our first podcast interview, California Assemblymember Phil Ting, D-19th District, talked with us about anti-Asian sentiment because of this pandemic.Welcome to Race and CoronavirusWe are reporters and editors with decades of journalism experience between us. Levi, pictured on the left, spent most of her career at the San Jose Mercury News and has specialized in technology and business news. Pati, at right, is editor in chief at San Francisco magazine and has been a demographics editor at the San Francisco Chronicle, among other places. As longtime storytellers, we know we are in the middle of one of the biggest stories of our lives. Race and Coronavirus is going to address something close to our hearts: tracking the effects of this pandemic on minorities and immigrants. Because even though we keep hearing that COVID-19 doesn’t discriminate, we also know that in the United States, black and brown people are being disproportionately affected on many different levels.We’re talking with those who are being impacted, plus the people who are trying to help them. We’re having conversations with experts, advocacy groups, newsmakers and news gatherers. Each week, we will bring those conversations to you along with related stories that delve deeper into the issues we discussed. Here’s a link to our first post and podcast, where we talk more about why we started Race and Coronavirus. (And our newsletter won’t always be this long. We just wanted to introduce ourselves!)Asians bear brunt of COVID-19 blameBy Levi SumagaysayLifelong San Francisco resident Sandy Fong-Navalta was on Muni recently, heading home from work when she witnessed a white male yell at an elderly Asian man for being a "rude, f---ing ignorant Chinaman." The Asian man had put his hand up when someone got too close to him on the bus. “You’re the reason coronavirus came to America!” the white male continued in response to the elderly man’s gesture.Fong-Navalta, whose sister-in-law is Race and Coronavirus co-founder Pati Navalta, said she has witnessed or felt tension in San Francisco quite a bit since the first reports of coronavirus -- a homeless man recently told her she was “spreading the corona” -- and that it has come “to the point where I’m almost desensitized to it.”As some people blame the rise of coronavirus on China, where it originated, the FBI has warned about a possible rise in hate crimes against Asians in the United States. Businesses owned by Asian Americans are being vandalized. Some Asian Americans are literally arming themselves in case they are physically assaulted, like an Asian family that was stabbed at a Sam’s Club in Texas in March, reportedly because of coronavirus. And advocacy groups, policymakers and others are having to dole out advice on how to deal with it all. Also in San Francisco in early March, Yuanyuan Zhu was on her way to the gym when a white male in his 40s who “looked like a regular person” spat on her after he shouted “F--- China.” He also yelled at a passing bus to “run ‘them’ over.”She told her story on social media and to the New York Times, but she recently told it again to journalists who tuned in for a recent online press conference held by Chinese for Affirmative Action, Asian Pacific Policy and Planning Council and San Francisco State University’s Asian American Studies Department, which have teamed up on Stop AAPI Hate, a website where people can submit anti-Asian incidents. In the four weeks since the site was created, it had collected nearly 1,500 reports — and by Tuesday, that number was up to 1,716, according to Chinese for Affirmative Action SF spokesman Eugene Lau.“I was panicked,” Zhu said. “I just walked faster and into my gym.” She said it was “hard to imagine that this would happen in the Bay Area,” which is known for its diversity, and that it’s important to speak up and collect data about what’s happening.Russell Jeung, head of Asian American Studies at San Francisco State, said the density of San Francisco, its residents’ reliance on public transit, and large Asian population are probably why 41.8% of the reported incidents happened in the city. New York City was second, with 16.7% of the reported incidents.“When coronavirus hit, I knew Asians would be targeted,” Jeung told Race and Coronavirus. The incident reports are coming from different ethnic groups because many Asians are mistaken for Chinese. The professor blamed politicians for “riling up their base” and trying to avoid responsibility for “not doing enough” in response to the novel coronavirus. “Their political rhetoric opens up hate.”He also pointed to the long history of anti-Asian racism in this country. Chinese miners were driven from their homes and even killed during the 1880s. Jeung said the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, which banned Chinese laborers from entering the United States, has “eerie parallels” to U.S. sentiment today.“Back then there was a recession and whites were losing their jobs,” he said. “Now we’re (headed toward) a depression and whites are losing their jobs.”A fairly recent parallel is the backlash against Muslims after the September 2011 terrorist attacks, Jeung said, adding that then and now, America was and is said to be at war.“The difference is President (George W.) Bush said we shouldn’t tolerate racism against Muslims,” he said. “President (Donald) Trump insists on calling it the Chinese virus… with social media and memes, it really shapes people’s subconscious.”In a podcast interview with Race and Coronavirus, California Assemblymember Phil Ting responded to whether he had been personally affected by anti-Asian backlash since the beginning of this crisis. He said that he had, but could not go into detail."This virus has really given people a license to hate," he said. Ting represents the 19th district, which includes parts of San Francisco and San Mateo counties. Ting applauded the creation of the Stop AAPI Hate website, citing the importance of collecting data for policymaking. However, he cautioned that reported numbers may not reflect the true number of incidents. “There are probably... more people who decided not to step forward or haven't even heard about this website.”Cynthia Choi, co-director of Chinese for Affirmative Action, said as much during the press conference: “Consider this an undercount. Lots of incidents are unreported.”How can Asian Americans deal with the verbal harassment, shunning, being discriminated against at their workplaces and in other businesses, and even physical assaults?The groups that held the press conference underscored the importance of reporting and tracking the incidents as a way to inform authorities and officials who can enact policies and enforcement to combat the hate.“Racism can be traumatic,” said Alicia del Prado, a psychologist from Danville who said she has seen patients who have been affected by anti-Asian sentiment.She said she tries to help her clients “feel supported and understood so they do not internalize the negative messages and do not go to self-blame, self-hatred, paralyzing fear, or other negative outcomes.”Jeung takes some comfort in history: “Asian Americans have always resisted, so that gives me strength. The Japanese won redress and reparations (for their internment during World War II). America can apologize for its actions.” He hopes that people use lessons from the past to politically mobilize, and is encouraged by the fact that there are more Asian American leaders in power these days. Ting mentioned that “we have the largest Asian American caucus in California state history.” He said the Asian American caucus has stood against hatred in all forms and have the support of other caucuses on this issue. “If you ever think that representation doesn't matter, it absolutely does matter.”News roundup Coronavirus numbers don’t add up – for someBy Pati Navalta(Unsplash)The numbers are incomplete.These simple four words can be found on the website of We Must Count, a coalition of health and racial equity and civil rights organizations calling for the federal government to provide more funding for consistent, comprehensive data. As more headlines emerge of the pandemic impacting a disproportionate number of people of color, the question begs to be asked: Just how bad is it?Even with incomplete data, the numbers paint a bleak picture.According to a recent report by APM Research Labs, the latest available COVID-19 mortality rate for black Americans is 2.3 times higher than the rate for Asians and Latinos, and 2.6 times higher than the rate for whites. “For each 100,000 Americans (of their respective groups), 40.9 Blacks have died,” the report states, “along with about 17.9 Asians, 17.9 Latinos and 15.8 Whites. These rates are so disparate it can be hard to appreciate what this means.” The report concludes that if black Americans had died of COVID-19 at the same rate as white Americans, at least 10,000 more black Americans would still be alive."When white America catches a cold, black America catches pneumonia," Steven Brown, a research associate at the Urban Institute, a Washington-based think tank, told CNN Business.While people of color are not more susceptible to the pandemic, years of racial disparities have put them at greater risk. Environmental injustices, unequal access to health care, and food insecurity, for example, have long been symptoms of deep, systemic inequities in the United States. COVID-19, what New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo once described as a “great equalizer,” is in fact a great magnifier of how unequal we really are.BBC reports that disproportionately high numbers of ethnic-minority households in North America and Europe live near incinerators and landfills, and schools with high proportions of minority students are located near highways and industrial sites. “Air quality, which early data is highlighting to be a potential risk factor for Covid-19, is also a risk factor for respiratory health,” Grania Brigden, who leads the tuberculosis department at the lung health organization The Union, told BBC.According to the United States Department of Agriculture, black households were twice as likely to face food insecurity as the national average, with one in five families lacking regular access to healthy food. As the BBC report points out, this was before the pandemic forced layoffs and dwindled resources at food banks. This lack of consistent nutrition has resulted in years of underlying health conditions in the African American community, namely diabetes, heart disease and hypertension—all of which puts COVID-19 patients more at risk. In the Golden State, the California Department of Public Health reports that Latinos have the highest rate of positive coronavirus cases at 38.9%. This trend is consistent in San Francisco, where Latinos account for 25% of COVID-19 cases but make up only 15% of the San Francisco population, as reported in the Los Angeles Times. During a recent press conference with Mayor London Breed, city officials cited possible reasons for the high numbers in the Mission District, including multi-family or multi-generational households, or Latinos holding jobs such as home-care aides that require them to go to work.What poses the most danger, however, is the unknown.Dr. Grant Colfax, San Francisco’s health director, told the LA Times that some Latinos are declining to participate in city programs that trace an infected person’s contacts to prevent the spread of the virus. In a pandemic during which the country’s president has tightened immigration policies and doubled down on calls for building a wall along the Mexican border, they simply don’t trust that participating in a government-led program won’t lead to deportation.Native Americans, on the other hand, don’t have a choice. A recent analysis by The Guardian revealed that 80% of state health departments have released some racial demographic data, which has already revealed stark disparities in the impact of Covid-19 on blacks and Latinos. “But of those states,” it concludes, “almost half did not explicitly include Native Americans in their breakdowns and instead categorized them under the label ‘other’.”“By including us in the other category it effectively eliminates us in the data,” Abigail Echo-Hawk (Pawnee), director, urban Indian health board and chief research officer, Seattle Indian Health Board, told The Guardian.The lack of consistent data across states is not only egregious, it’s a matter of life and death. Data is what often determines the distribution of funds and crucial resources, and without it, some of the most vulnerable populations are left unaccounted and uncared for.What we know is already bad. What we don’t know is most certainly far worse.The bright sideAsian Americans are doing what they can to push back against the hate. Gold Rush, a business accelerator, partnered last month with delivery provider Postmates to feature Asian restaurants for a week and a half. The promotion, part of Postmates’ “order local” campaign, highlighted Asian restaurants in New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles via a special carousel that popped up when people called up Postmates on mobile or web.Megan Ruan, Gold Rush’s venture director, said Asian influencers and celebrities including director Alan Yang, the Shibutani siblings, presidential candidate Andrew Yang, and designers Prabal Gurung and Laura Kim helped promote the campaign on social media. Some of them raffled off Postmates credits to their followers.Gold Rush is now in talks with DoorDash for a possible similar campaign, Ruan said.Coming up We explore this pandemic’s effect on essential workers and interview U.S. Rep.

Joy and Jasmine discuss Dior's brand of feminism under the creative direction of Maria Grazia Chiuri. In 2016, Maria Grazia Chiuri made feminism a part of her artist design statement. It was a huge hit but some were critical that is was diluting the message of feminism protests, the Women’s March, etc. At the time the “We Should All Be Feminists” t-shirt (seen on the left) was a huge hit and they were bought up, copied, and resold at an accelerated rate. The clothes are beautiful but white feminism is not. Dior isn’t the only designer to talk about feminism on the runway. Prabal Gurung (seen on the right) has a more intersectional approach to his aesthetics.

Renowned fashion designer Prabal Gurung, at the 17th Hindustan Times Leadership Summit, said that as a man his job is not to dictate but to give options to women. “When Michelle Obama, Kate Middleton, and Oprah Winfrey wear my dresses, they represent what I stand for - a celebration of unabashed femininity. There is nothing more unnerving than a woman in full feminine glory to the patriarchy,” said Gurung. Click to listen to the most feminist man in fashion. #woke

Delia was thrilled to sit down with the famous manicurist Jin Soon Choi and hear all about her journey. She takes us through her illustrious career from the early days cycling from appointment to appointment where she was named Bicycle Jin up to present day where she collaborates with top designers to create the looks for runway shows. She has worked with the top models, designers and celebrities, such as Karlie Kloss, Marc Jacobs, Phillip Lim, Tibi and more. As Bobbi Brown said herself, Jin Soon is a big deal! Jin Soon's hand and foot nail salons are our go-to spot for manicures and pedicures. Delia first met Jin four years ago when she was working on the Cosmetics buying team at Barneys New York. Delia got to go backstage with Jin during fashion week to the Tibi show where Bobbi Brown was doing the makeup. Bobbi leaned over and said, "Jin you're such a big deal" and Jin leaned over and said, "Bobbi, so are you!!" Jin Soon Choi is Korean and moved to Manhattan in 1991. She only knew one person from Korea and they turned out to be her roommate. Jin didn't speak English when she first arrived, so she had no choice but to work in either a grocery or a nail salon. Korea was similar to NYC in that she could freely walk the streets, there are four seasons and lots of Korean people & Korean food. She decided to stop working at salons and start doing home-service. Jin started working with a PR agency which helped her to get editorial work and start doing fashion shows. Her eponymous nail polish was founded in 2012. There are 4 nail salons in New York City in Tribeca, Lower East Side, Upper East Side and West Village. The first salon opened in 1999. Her husband is an architect and he designed the salons.   She discusses how she got into the fashion industry, how she learned to start and grow a business & the process of designing a nail collection. When creating a collection, she starts with a theme so there is a story included in the collection. She does a lot of research surrounding this theme.  Her products are eco-friendly, safe & healthy nail polish AND long-lasting. Since she has salons, she can ask her customers what they are looking for. Their products started with 5-free, now they are 10-free. Once the media comes out with an ingredient that is harmful, they reformulate and remove that ingredient. The shape of the bottle was influenced by her husband who is an architect. She loves the sleek, simple, modern and elegant design. She found the bottles in Italy. They custom made the cap as the same shape as the bottle. It has both an outer and inner cap. For her first collection, she named the products after classic novels.  Jin works with select designers each season to do the nails for the runway. New York Fashion Week - have to go to tests before the shows. At the test, the designer has chosen the colors for the collection. The hair, makeup and nail teams meet with the stylist who is running the show. They narrow down to the theme of the collection and go from there. The test is 1-2 weeks before the show. Choosing the shape and color of the nails is all about collaboration. Jin's schedule during NYFW depends on the show. If there is a 10am show, she has to get up at 6am. Her days could end around 8pm at night. She brings 4-5 technicians for about 20 models, but shows with 50 models would need 10-12 people. Fashion week isn't easy, it is hard, but kind of like a big party with friends you've known for a long time. She has worked on shows for Michael Kors, Prabal Gurung, Tibi, Marc Jacobs and Phillip Lim.  She has thoroughly enjoyed working with editors from Vogue Magazine - Phyllis Posnick & Tonne Goodman. Jin even got to work with Irving Penn before he died, with The Metropolitan Museum of Art recently had an exhibit on. Phyllis says Jin is the best manicurist (which is true)! Whoever has a basic skill, the older generation appreciates.  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/delia-folk8/support

St. Beauty joined me in the Lounge during New York Fashion Week where they were front row regulars at the Phillip Lim and Prabal Gurung shows amongst others.Both ladies are paving the way and turning heads everywhere they go.

Over the last year there has been an increase in social movements, from the rise of The Women's March to the #MeToo and TimesUp campaigns. From politicians to celebrities to average citizens, people from all walks of life are making their voices heard. Famed fashion designer Prabal Gurung has used his platform, the runway, to show his support for what he calls the "human issues" being highlighted by these movements. In the final episode of "The Political Runway," CNN's Hunter Schwarz and Kate Bennett sit down with Prabal to discuss his personal story of achieving the American Dream and how he plans to use his prominence to continue supporting issues he's passionate about.

Slagkraftiga texter ofta tydligt tryckta på tröjbröstet som visar var man står i olika frågor har spritt sig som en löpeld i modevärlden det senaste året. Mängder av modemärken har i sina kollektioner inte minst för denna vår och sommar plagg på vilka politiskt laddade, och feministiskt färgade, ord och uttryck finns att läsa. Stor uppmärksamhet fick till exempel modehuset Dior, som nyligen fått sin första kvinnliga chefsdesigner någonsin, Maria Grazia Chiuri. Under visningen av vårmodet 2017, hennes debutvisning för märket, skickade hon ut en modell klädd i lång skir tyllkjol, gympadojjor och en vit t-tröja på vilken orden We should all be feminists var tryckta. Det var ett citat plockat från en essä och ett så kallat TED-talk av den hyllade författaren Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, vilket bidrog till att ge än mer tryck i tröjans budskap om att vi alla borde vara feminister. Plagget blev ett av säsongens mest uppmärksammade och Instagrammade. Men så är det inte varje dag som ett av världens största lyxmodemärken tar den typen av ställning. Men så har världen drastiskt förändrats. Oron kring Brexit, Donald Trump som USA:s nye president och de högerextrema vindar som blåser hårt i Europa, går naturligtvis inte modebranschen förbi. Under New Yorks modevecka i februari var det inte säsongens trendfärger, siluetter eller materialval som stod i fokus. Många modeskapare passade nämligen på att istället använda catwalken som en arena för politiska och sociala budskap tryckta på tröjor, kepsar och accessoarer. Eller som dagstidningen LA Times uttryckte saken: fyra dagar in i modeveckan har vi sett så många budskap på catwalken att visningarna lätt skulle kunna förväxlas med en moderiktig protestmarsch. En av de modeskapare som valde att göra sin visning till ett politiskt ställningstagande var Prabal Gurung. Han är uppvuxen i Katmandu i Nepal, men bor sedan snart 20 år tillbaka i New York där han sedan 2009 driver sitt eget modemärke. I veckans program pratar vi med honom. Vi träffar också litteraturprofessorn och författaren Ebba Witt-Brattström för att prata politiska slogans nu och då. Och så tar vi en titt på en annan typ av slogans tryckta på tröjor de med "humor". Veckans gäst är Agnes Grefberg Braunerhielm, modejournalist.

La industria de la moda no puede mantenerse al margen de la política, ¿o sí? Además, Prabal Gurung saca colección cápsula de los personajes de Pokémon con Jeffrey New York. Instagram ya tiene live video y no quiere tanto a los hipsters, y New Balance se vuelve el zapato oficial de los miembros del movimiento White Supremacy...

He then shows how to apply the lessons of franchising to any business whether or not it is a franchise.

After you have read The E-Myth Revisited, you will truly be able to grow your business in a predictable and productive way." More Must Read’s: To Kill A MockingBird    Look Inside on Amazon - Click Here Description:  "The unforgettable novel of a childhood in a sleepy Southern town and the crisis of conscience that rocked it, To Kill A Mockingbird became both an instant bestseller and a critical success when it was first published in 1960. It went on to win the Pulitzer Prize in 1961 and was later made into an Academy Award-winning film, also a classic. Compassionate, dramatic, and deeply moving, To Kill A Mockingbird takes readers to the roots of human behavior - to innocence and experience, kindness and cruelty, love and hatred, humor and pathos. Now with over 18 million copies in print and translated into forty languages, this regional story by a young Alabama woman claims universal appeal. Harper Lee always considered her book to be a simple love story. Today it is regarded as a masterpiece of American literature."

I also shine a spot light on one of my favorite brands and give a few fashion tips. In The News Ashley Olsen has become the newest addition to the CFDA, Council of Fashion Designers of America. She joins the ranks of designers like Teohlee Ten, Kenneth Cole, Isabel Toledo, Kate Spade, Deborah Lloyd, and Prabal Gurung. A new fashion alliance has been made, and shoes will never be the same again. Toms, the amazingly comfortable slip-ons that we teens love so much, has collaborated with Tabitha Simmons to create a collection of footwear that’s out of this world! Her beuatiful prints have transformed toms, but how did they meet? What inspired them? Well, Blake mycoskie, the founder of toms, and Simmons hit it off in New York, but it wasn’t the popularity of Toms or Blake, it was Tom’s buy a pair give a pair deal that lured her in. She loved it so much, that she even spent a week in Honduras helping with one of their giving projects. Tabetha’s crazy designs mixed with tom’s simple comfortable feel seems like a little much, but the collaboration works really well. There’s even one print, the I love you print, that’s inspired by tabetha’s children and the love letters she would send them when she was away.   Versace proudly confirms Lady Gaga as the face of SS14 campaign.

Fashion Tip Everyone knows vintage is totally chic. A jazzy fedora or some pearls, you decide. This episode’s tip is add a vitage touch. Go down to your local consignment shop and pick something out, because old is new.   Accessories What’s the one accessorie must-have this season? Velvet shoes!! strappy heels, flats it doesn’t matter. Their totally cute and will go with pretty much anything. Jeans, dresses, you name it! Ashley Granata, F I T grad and textile designer, recently inherited her grandmothers scarf collection, and has done something amazing with it. After her grandmother passed away, Ashley learned that she had been a cancer survivor. Then, she got the idea to give cancer patients going through chemotherapy a little something to get through it. For every $50 raised by her Ashley Jeanne project, she gives a scarf to a patient at Brooklyn Hospital. That way some of these patients who are not only going through this, but are also losing their apperance, can control something in their life, how they look. Boys Fashion Some guys are always wondering, How can I dress to impress? What gets a girl’s attention? Well You don’t have to wear leather pants or dress like your from the 80’s. All you have to do is dress nicely and if you can’t do that on your own, get a girl’s advice. Your tip for this episode is ditch the jeans. No not permanently, just every once in a while. In my opinion, guys who wear more than just one pair of jeans all the time have some style. I mean, don’t get me wrong, some of you do look good in your old faded blue jeans, but whats wrong with khakis or something else, but if you just have to wear jeans, stick to the kind that fit. Oversized jeans are not in!
