He took to Instagram to share a cryptic note which reads, “Dear opinion, I know you work 365 days a year ..relentlessly … but my request is for you take Sundays off…Exhaustingly yours, Receiving end.”
In his long Instagram post, Prabal had talked about Alia’s debut appearance at Met Gala and how he met her for the first time at Karan’s 40th birthday party. “I had heard rave reviews about her through him and my brother Pravesh, who was assisting Karan in her debut film. I was immediately taken by her when I met her. A petite ingénue whose simmering fire within her was palpable to all of us. One film after another, she has surpassed anyone’s expectations and thrilled us with her creative genius. She’s a powerhouse performer. To me, she is one of the finest actors we have right now globally, but above all, she’s a friend, a good friend, and a loyal one; that’s what makes her extremely special,” read his post.
He further added, “We’ve talked about a Met moment for a long time. I have invited her before, but she’s always been wise enough to say let’s wait. This time however, she felt it was the right moment, so she said yes and off we went to our wildest imaginations along with Anaita to create a homage to Karl that celebrated her heritage (100,000 pearls hand embroidered in Mumbai), my love for Karl ( he is my master, and yes he did give me my CVFF award ) and all made in New York. For me, Chanel couture brides have been the most iconic brides in fashion. So we chose Claudia Schiffer’s 1992 Chanel bridal look as an inspiration. And the rest is history.”
