Guo Pei is the most famous designer from China in Western fashion. The designer named her new spring/summer collection East Palace. 30 outfits demonstrate traditional stories, which blend harmoniously with bold details, rich embroidery and extravagant looks of the models.
"East Palace is not just a building, it is a way of life. Especially for women, because in Chinese culture there are many quotes about girls living in the Palace, says Guo Pei. "Also these are special clothes and outfits that women should wear in palaces. You will see everything in my collection, all this is reflected in the outfits I created. However, I do not try to explain to the audience what "East Palace" is. I just want people to experience the concept through the prism of their own imagination."
One thing you can say for sure, Guo Pei managed to create an original fairy tale, a ceremony of beauty and admiration for Chinese culture on the runway. I suggest enjoying these amazing outfits:
Guo Pei fashion house is famous for its attention to details. So, shoes are of special attention: there is a tribute to traditional Chinese platform shoes, European high heels, and Eastern mule shoes:
The presentation of the collection would be incomplete without close-ups of dresses. Embroidery is a special pride of the fashion house: these are incredible story paintings and 3D sculptures of threads, beads, and crystals. You want to look at them endlessly — and every time you will find something new. Some photos let you look at the accessories used in the show, jewellery and exclusive fabrics created together with Jakob Schlaepfer, a Swiss house of textiles.
