New York City, give you a standing ovation. I mean, thank you very much.
I decided to dress like Ronnie. Yeah. Didn't you get the memo what was going to happen? Yeah, it's good to see you, man. You're the highest of the highs in the fashion world. Bravo.
You honor us with your taste and your grace. Oh, thank you very much. Yeah, so you've, like, dressed, you know, the Met Gala, Obama, Michelle Obama. How does a guy go from, how does a person go from being a kid in Nepal to the highest of the highs in New York City fashion?
Yeah. So... So having a delusional family. Delusional family. No, I didn't say family. I said delusional me. Right. But your family also encouraged you, because that's a big part of this book. I mean, first of all, I read the book. It's great. Very easy to read. A little sad sometimes. Yes. But that's life. Yeah, OK. I wasn't complaining. I'm just describing it. Yeah, it's good. No, it wasn't.
No, it's bittersweet. It's like the sad moments, but there is hopefulness in it, even in the sad moments. When I'm reading the sad moments, I think it's because I know how you end up. I know how the book ends, so I'm like, oh. Yeah, this is nothing. But one theme of the book that keeps popping up is how much you love your mom. Yes. You keep talking about how much you love your mom.
Like, why do you love your mom so much?
Mom, you're incredible as well, and you are also the best as well. Well, that was an afterthought, just so that you know. No, I wasn't after. I was immediately on it. Mom, you are the best. I love you, Mom. My mom is the best. No, my mom is better. My mom is better than you. Well, really? Have you written a book? Have I written a book about my mom? Not yet. There you go.
Why do you love your mom?
Just saying. I just woke up and I just saw this. I was like, you know what? Maybe I'll just try this on the show today. I didn't know. It's so embarrassing that you decided to. This is kind of embarrassing. Yeah, I mean, I just thought, listen. Next time, check with your stylist. Will do, will do. Because you can't just walk on the show dressing like the host.
I don't know how you pull this off. This is very, I'm very cold right now. You wear this all the time. I have no idea how you don't wear a shirt under your jackets. What makes you think this is not a shirt? No, I can see the cleavage. I don't know how you get with it.
There's some people who shouldn't be showing off their cleavage.
No, we don't need to. Across multiple genders, some of them don't need to show their cleavage. Your mom, tell me about your mom. Why do you love your mom?
Which, by the way, it wasn't that, you know, white people watch this and they're like, that's normal. But where... In Nepal, it's... Yeah, but I think that it was a big deal for her to be like that for you in Nepal. Because you want the typical kid.
I love you all for that. Every page of the book. That what you just felt, that's every page of this book. And yes, you know what? Guess what?
So is your mom good or not?
I love my mom, too. I love my mom. I just don't need to brag about it every five seconds. You have to meet my mother. Any of my friends who've met her, she's amazing. No, I'm sure she's great. You love her. Yeah.
I think that's the problem. There's multiple mothers there.
Did you wish your mom? I wish her for everyone. I cover all the bases. But I mean, it's because you bring her up in the book. I mean, I'm joking. It's not every single page, but she's definitely a recurring theme. At the start, she gives you strength. She keeps coming into the story. Even now talking to you, you can't shut up about her.
I know. Yeah. Yeah. That's great. Otherwise, I wouldn't have. You know that. Here's the thing. I could talk to you forever because you've got such an amazing story. I'm trying to get out some gems for people. So I'll just speed round through these questions. So what would you say to young fashion designers now who are trying to enter the industry now?
No, don't applaud that. He said don't applaud that. He said don't. He doesn't need the validation. He doesn't need validation.
