REVIEWS
“Gurung is frank in this charming memoir, adeptly balancing emotional moments with delicious behind-the-scenes glimpses into the world of high fashion. His confidence, sense of empathy, and joie de vivre radiate throughout. An insightful and entertaining look into the life of a famous fashion designer.”
– Kirkus
“It’s a story that manages to be both optimistic and empathetic—sometimes quite generously so, even to some of those who didn’t treat him very well—without sugarcoating anything.”
– Vogue
“This stirring debut from fashion designer Gurung turns a sharp eye toward questions of femininity, sexuality, and self-expression…. This is more than just a juicy fashion industry tell-all (though it is that, with plenty of Anna Wintour name-drops): Gurung takes readers inside his creative process and offers sage counsel to those struggling with their own self-expression. Vulnerable, candid, and subtly defiant, this is a must-read for aspiring creatives of all stripes.”
WORKING WITH LIZ
“Liz Welch, my partner in crime, cheerleader, therapist, and kindred spirit, thank you from the bottom of my heart, my dear friend. This story would have remained a mere pipe dream, these words in my head just a thought, without your support and guidance. You are one of the few who have witnessed the depths of my soul that I've concealed for so long. Your endless empathy and unwavering encouragement have given me the strength to share my story. It is as much your triumph as it is mine.”
