Guo Pei: Embroidered Dreams | Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco

The exhibition "Guo Pei: Couture Fantasy" was organized by the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco from April 16 to November 27, 2022.
Legion of Honor museum: "Guo Pei: Couture Fantasy celebrates the extraordinary designs of Guo Pei - hailed as China's first couturier - and includes more than 80 works from the past two decades highlighting her most important collections shown on Beijing and Paris runways. Through exquisite craftsmanship, lavish embroidery, and unconventional dressmaking techniques, Guo Pei creates a fantasy that fuses the influences of China's imperial past, decorative arts, European architecture, and the botanical world. Through her stunning fashions, the exhibition reveals the trajectory of Guo Pei's career as remarkable yet emblematic of China's emergence as a leader in the fashion world in the early twenty-first century."
Through flashbacks, evocative imagery, and narration by Guo Pei, this film tells the designer's story in her own words-from growing up during China's Cultural Revolution and dreaming of beautifully embroidered dresses to presenting her designs on runways across the globe. An interview with curator Jill D'Alessandro takes you inside the "Guo Pei: Couture Fantasy" exhibition at the Legion of Honor for a closer look at Guo Pei's extraordinary designs and the impact she's had on the fashion world. Thank you to @nowness and @asiancouturefederation for their partnership.

I've seen hundreds of exhibits in my lifetime and Guo Pei's beyond spectacular creations on display are amongst the finest objects I have ever viewed.

I know nothing of fashion, or design, but every one of your pieces represents an entire fantasy world, showing art, skill, fantasy, tradition, modern, beauty.
