11 Designers So Imaginative, They Came Up With Themes For Their Runway

"The pre-fall/fall 2021 collection was my love letter to New York City and to the incredible people who make this city so special: the artists, misfits, impossible dreamers, creatives, community organizers, and more. This summer in New York was one of the best — and most challenging — of my life. What I witnessed here while attending marches, protests, vigils, and peaceful demonstrations was a revolution of unabashed self-expression . . . and of love. The love in the air was palpable. Everyone coming together to bear witness to this moment in history where we all united to create progress and change. That type of universal acceptance and love is what will heal this world." — Prabal Gurung, fashion designer of Prabal Gurung
