Designer inspiration for FMP - Guo Pei

Researching for designer inspiration for my Final Major Project I came across Guo Pei, a Chinese Fashion Designer whom mixes fantasy with modern avant-garde.
Pei's designs are very structural and feature surface texture, print, and drama.

These are some of Pei's designs from her Arabian Night collection....



There are so many different design elements to this look, the over sized fur coat, the surface detailing on the neckline creating a detailed collar, the rolls of sculptural frills in the skirt of the dress.


This look I love, the bows of fan shaped fabric layered together at the side seam all in the gorgeous blue detailed floral print. I like the mix of scales within the print and the various tones of blue.


This look is absolutely amazing, the firm cones along the each sleeve with the embroidered print of gold mixed with the mint green fabric looks stunning. The body con features a huge amount of surface texture on the nude fabric with gold and mint green threads, the proportions of this design work extremely well together as this design is highly textural with surface detail and the over sized cone sleeves are balanced out the fish tail skirt.


Loving the layers of fan shaped white fabric with the fitted gown.


The gown is amazing....structure, the gorgeous fabric in panels cascading into the sculptural skirt.
