@therealphilliplim and @troublewithprabal have dressed everyone from Gigi Hadid and Miley Cyrus to Michelle Yeoh and Vice President Kamala Harris, but, in Lim's words, "That's not true representation. We're the fortunate ones—acceptable and passable within really small bubbles—but that doesn't make for change.”
The longtime friends and cofounders of @houseofslay are partnering with the AAPI Victory Fund to launch the #OurVote brand—a collection of merch and voter activation efforts to mobilize the 23 million-strong AAPI community ahead of the midterm elections.
"Revolution is fragmented, and real change takes constant, consistent work," Gurung tells BAZAAR.

Words can express my gratitude🥹🪶💙✨ @prabalgurung Mahsi’choo for inviting me, dressing me in this beautiful gown, and for making me feel like royalty. Your story and the way you move within the fashion industry has not only always been inspiring and inclusive, but also shows how genuine you are with your designs and how you highlight, uplift, and showcase beauty in a good way. The fact that you wanted me to feel seen with this years theme means the world to me because indigenous people have been overlooked and misrepresented(let alone represented at all). Prabal wanted the jewelry to be the big moment, being the theme was “In America: An Anthology of Fashion - Gilded Age”.
The jewelry was handmade by @antelope_women_designs , and it followed theme perfectly. Made with Earth Elements that my people used for millennia, Dentalium shells, Porcupine quills, and Tanned/Smoked hide. The piece was put together so fast and it was beyond what I could’ve imagined and I’m honored. The beadwork included Tipis and traditional colors, to make me feel less alone and in a way surrounded by my community. A HUGE Mahsi’choo to you Lenny🪶🥹❤️ the Traditional Lakota dress that’s showcased in the exhibit had the same exact earth elements that was used for the jewelry. So yea, on theme🥰 this whole look was a huge collab with everyone. And last but not least, Mahsi’choo @vogue , Anna Wintour, for such a beautiful night. It was incredible and I’m so beyond grateful to have been included in this space. All love🪶 Q 🥹💙
