Nothing says, “I’ve arrived” in the fashion world more than a nomination by the prestigious Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA). Or, the official approval of Anna Wintour in the form of a two-page feature in Vogue. Or, indeed, a nod from First Lady and fashion plate, Michelle Obama, as she dons your dress for an official engagement. For up-and-coming designer Prabal Gurung, he’s managed to achieve all three in the last month.

The name Prabal Gurung has been on the lips of Los Angeles’ and New York’s top stylists since he launched his eponymous line in February 2009. The inspiration for his first collection was "the thinking-man’s sex symbol." Rachel Zoe dressed her client Demi Moore in a black-and-ivory striped silk duchess dress. Rachel Weisz, Leighton Meester,
