Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor Fashion designer and entrepreneur Prabal Gurung’s days right now are all about galas. There’s the Met Gala and Gold House’s Gold Gala, and he’s putting the finishing touches on his book, which is due out next year. When he’s not dressing the likes of Vice President Kamala Harris, former first lady Michelle Obama, Lady Gaga, Mi- chelle Yeoh and Quinta Brunson, he’s using his platform to advocate for causes he cares about.
And he cares about Gold House. Gurung has been involved in it since its inception and serves as an executive board member and the creative director for the May 11 Gold Gala. Variety sat down with Gurung to talk galas, books and celebrating Asian excellence.

When we talk about Asian representation, we talk about all Asians.
There are people flying in from India, Taiwan, Shanghai and all over. It’s about people from their respective fields coming together to inspire. Your fall/winter collection just launched, and you have the galas, but what else are you up to? My full-time job is as an entrepreneur and I’m a fashion designer.
Gold House is very important to me. Besides that, I have a table at the Met Gala and I’m in the middle of celebrity fittings. The next day, I’m getting Designer of the Year from the Accessories Council.
I’ll be flying to L.A. for the Gold Gala and then I’m off to Bombay doing my collection. I’ve finished the final draft of my book and just sent that off to my

However, there are definitely moments when I put something on and think how much better it would look if it was freshly ironed and crisp, especially when travelling.

The timepiece, ironically, served as her handbag.It’s not unheard of to be unable to move properly in an avant-garde gala gown, but Tyla’s dress — and Rousteing’s matching top with his profile imposed into the grit — is a new wave of innovation and one with puzzling mechanics.

AI deepfakes by law.The push from the government comes after artificial intelligence has been used increasingly more to impersonate the image and voices of those in the public eye without their consent or knowledge.It also comes in light of various British artists – including Jess Glynne, Mumford and Sons, Sam Smith, Robert Smith and Zayn Malik – signing an open letter last month, calling for the government to enforce wider protection against the technology.Now, the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Music has called on the UK government to regulate the use of AI in music through law, and enforce “a specific personality right to protect creators and artists from misappropriation and false endorsement”.The push came via a report shared earlier today (May 1), and highlighted how a law should be issued to protect celebrities from the risk of AI becoming “a destroyer of creators’ livelihoods”.As highlighted by BBC News, the cross-party group’s chair, Labour MP Kevin Brennan said politicians must “confront the danger that unfettered developments in AI could pose to the UK’s musicians and music businesses” and warned that “AI can be a great servant but would be a terrible master.”The MPs also made reference to a new law passed in the US – the Elvis Act – which prohibits the use of AI to mimic an artist’s voice without their permission, and insisted that “the UK [should] not fall behind our international competitors”.At time of writing, the UK does have regulations in place to prevent people from misrepresenting others when offering goods or services, but the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Music argued how much protection it could offer in relation to AI technology and deepfakes.In response to the issues put forward, a
