As promised, I bring you part 2 of the exhibit I attended in San Francisco, California. You can read the article HERE. I might do a part 3, since I am unable to include all the photos I took.
Guo Pei’s work represents the strength and confidence of a woman who can bear the weight of the crown of her work... literally and figuratively... from the weight of the clothing, to the height of the shoes!
It showcases her work through unparalleled craftsmanship. Shapes were as extravagant as they get. There were short skater skirts made of layers of organza that sprouted feathers and bloomed with 3D embroidered flowers.
One can’t even come near to describing the sense of wonder one experiences when inspecting her creations up close. Guo Pei inhabits a creative universe all her own, where unbridled imagination meets arcane symbology in clothing that is both sumptuously opulent and theatrical. Source: Vogue
“Some people see China in her work, some see the sun, some see status, some see wealth, some see time and so on. In fact, they are all different. This is the charm of art. Art inspires mankind, so I think these works have gone beyond clothing. It is no longer a piece of clothing, but a carrier of culture, history, human emotions and love.”
Source: DolceMag
“As Guo Pei explains, her source of inspiration is rooted in five thousand years of Chinese culture and history,” D'Alessandro said. “This manifests in several ways from her reinterpretations of traditional Chinese dress, use of auspicious Chinese symbols, and commitment to working with highly skilled artisans, such as embroiderers from the Hebei provenance or basketry weavers from Anhui provenance.”

If you're wondering how Gou Pei's couture is, watch this:

Thank you for the wine!
It's always a pleasure! Thank you for the wine!
Have you ever seen a show that was so brilliantly crafted? She has been lauded in many circles, calling her a couture fantasy, the way she fuses many different influences created by her unconventional techniques. The embroidery is stunning - so very intricate in the workmanship. The shoes are a Chinese specialty!
How lucky you were to attend such an extravaganza!! Thank you so much for sharing it with us!

I'm still dreaming about those embroidered dresses!!! WOW, it was so mindboggling.
The one I'll sow on the third of this series, it took years to complete! Such dedication to her craft.
Those clothes are h-e-a-v-y, and I can just imagine it being worn and shown by ultra-thin ladies!
But her "regular" evening wear are so elegant! And. light! Hahaha!
Thanks for coming, @dswigle !
I love #marketfriday! And no atter how busy I am, I will surely use the tag! Heck I can use it everyday!
Thank you so much, seriously. I have no idea where you get your time from, but, it takes me forever to write my many comments. I know you are busy too!
This was in April, wasn't it? Her unique style! It takes her so long because of all the handwork and dreams that go into creating these pieces. I am sure you have worn beaded dresses! They are heavy! I have worn a few and the one thing I always forget is the effort it takes to carry yourself around all night. LOL
Thanks for joining in the challenge!
The exhibit is still ongoing. I went last week. I think it goes till first week of September.
Yeah, I post on a schedule. And on weekdays, I respond to comments the day after... sometimes I get lucky, like today! I did yesterdays and todays. Hahaha, I don't get as much comments as you do!
That is pretty awesome! I wish I could get ahead enough to schedule It is great that you can!
I do get a lot of comments, but, I am not complaining just wish I could get ahead!
