Get Prabal Gurung’s “West Meets East”-Inspired NYFW Nails

09/10/2023

Prabal Gurung’s recent SS24 Collection was an ode to the concept of “West Meets East,” drawing inspiration from the designer’s own travels in Nepal and India. Prints included abstracted flowers such as poppies and lotus blossoms, and many runway looks featured eye-catching metallic accents. These same elements, the organic shapes and gold and silver, were extended to the models’ nails with modern tips.

“The inspiration for Prabal Gurung was based off a sultry Indian summer with metallic gold and silver on the Bare But Better collection. The details on the tips added a free spirited design which correlates to the storyline of a business woman traveling in Mumbai meeting the love her life,” says celebrity nail artist and KISS Brand Ambassador Gina Edwards.
