bedding brand’s rarest fabrication for his Spring 2025
ready-to-wear collection at New York Fashion Week.
Beloved luxury bedding brand Boll & Branch makes its runway
debut in a first-of-its-kind collaboration at New York Fashion
Week, with esteemed fashion designer Prabal Gurung crafting
ready-to-wear out of the brand’s sheeting fabric. All 100% organic
cotton featured in the show is the brand’s Summit Supima, the same
fabrication Prabal used to craft a dress for the 2024 Met Gala,
worn by tennis star Maria Sharapova.

This next step in their partnership highlights Boll & Branch
and Prabal Gurung’s common roots in South Asia; Boll & Branch’s
Summit Supima is woven by one of their longest-term partners in
India, and much of their 100% organic cotton is sourced from
family-owned farms in the country. Prabal remains deeply connected
to his Nepali heritage, often turning to it for inspiration. This
collection is no different, as it was inspired by Holi, a Hindu
festival signifying rebirth and rejuvenation. The show’s finale
underscored this; models dressed in Prabal’s all-white Boll &
Branch designs were showered in colorful powder, as is done at Holi
celebrations around the world, showcasing optimism and new
beginnings.
“Our show is a platform for us to visually communicate who we
are and the world we want to live in, and I especially love to
express myself through our vibrant finale,” says Prabal. “This
season, we wanted to create a celebration and highlight the spirit
of the Holi holiday. I was inspired by Boll & Branch’s Supima
cotton – the movement, structure, ease and beauty – that I felt
compelled to create a powerful and dedicated moment. Plus, who
doesn’t love an effortless and chic white dress for Spring and
Summer?”
In its pursuit of changing the way luxury textiles are made,
Boll & Branch has positioned itself as the leader in
sustainable, luxury fabric making. Having launched with strong
success in sheets and duvet sets following its debut at the Met
Gala, Summit Supima has already cemented itself as one of the
brand’s most iconic fabrics. It’s made with 100% American-grown
organic Supima, a rare species of cotton that accounts for less
than 0.01% of the world’s supply. Due to its rarity and the care
taken in production to create its unique texture and drape, it’s
only released in limited-run batches.
“From day one, our mission has always been to surpass our
customers’ wildest expectations, and our Summit Supima is just one
example of this,” says Missy Tannen, Founder & Chief Product
Officer at Boll & Branch. “For Prabal to find its quality
worthy of not only the Met Gala, but also his Fashion Week show,
really shows how impactful our work has been. We hold our product
to such high standards, it truly is runway-worthy.”
Boll & Branch prides itself on never compromising its
standards on delivering the highest quality experience to its
customers, in both product and hospitality. The brand has
successfully been able to offer unparalleled experiences to its
customers that immerse them into the world of Boll & Branch,
like inviting one to attend the NYFW show alongside Tannen. In
addition to being the first Boll & Branch customer to learn of
the collaboration and view the collection, the customer was given
the unique opportunity to discuss the partnership with Tannen as
they watched it unfold. Boll & Branch is consistently offering
experiential services to its customers that go beyond what would be
expected of a typical retail store, from complimentary one-on-one
design consultations with stylists to individualized home install
services, and other highly personalized touchpoints.
"Everything we do is in service to our customer," says Tannen.
"Watching our fabrics on the runway, and sharing this moment with
our team and customers, is such a special celebration of how far
Boll & Branch has come and how we can continue to show up for
them in the most unexpected ways."
