Inspiring memoir of a fashion icon who shattered the whites only fashion presentations and overcame many prejudices and financial obstacles. He credits any positive things he's done to his exceptional mother who backed him and encouraged him every step of the way from Nepal to India to NYC. Here is one who endured coming out again and again and demolished the color barrier erected against South Asians. He reminded us that couture is stronger in color, indeed, everything is better in color. You can't help but be moved by this recounting of a truly authentic life.
I can only apologize to him and all those who came before for what has been inflicted on the American Dream.
I requested and received a temporary uncorrected digital galley from PENGUIN GROUP Viking Penguin | Viking via NetGalley.
