Prabal Gurung: On Women, Power and Fashion
There has always been a strange sense of antagonism between fashion and powerful women, a belief that women must sacrifice femininity to gain power, authority and respect -- and that fashion especially is too frivolous a concern for serious women. I have never understood this notion, and I wouldn't be doing what I do today if I believed it.
What I have always believed in, though, is the idea that with more women in power and more feminine influence in society, the world would be more empathetic and compassionate and would become a better place.
