DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT: Guo Pei

Posted by Robyn Burnaford on

Widely known as China's most renowned couturier, Guo Pei "has been dressing distinguished ladies, royalty and political elite who turn to her for show-stopping, magnificent creations when they want to look beautiful and stand out from the crowd."

When we created our Style Board:  Diversity in Design series, we knew from the beginning that we wanted feature Guo in our roundup of inspiring designers.  We're in awe of the intricate embroidery and painting details she incorporates into her designs and are beyond obsessed by the way she incorporates traditional Chinese craftsmanship with modern design.  From being featured everywhere from the red carpet {think Rihanna at the Met Gala}, the 2008 Beijing Olympics, a collaboration with MAC Cosmetics and much more, she "is one of China's most prolific designers."  Currently, Guo has a new studio at the Rue Saint Honoré in Paris.

We could scour the internet for days and swoon over Guo's stunning work, but our current obsessions from her latest AW 2020/2021 "Savannah" Collection include this Peridot-green fringed Giraffe suit featured in our Style Board, this elephant grey pinch waist suit with platform boots and this zebra sleeve suit with skirted pants.

In addition to her couture collections, you can also see Guo's classic collection on her website, and we're currently obsessed with her neon pink pencil dress with embroidered collar, absolutely stunning embroidered floral coat and traditionally embroidered modern skirt suit.
