Wednesday Walk: Guo Pei's Couture Fantasy, Part 1

in Ladies of Hive2 years ago (edited)

Yesterday, I visited the Legion of Honor Museum in San Francisco to view the exhibit of Guo Pei.

I wore a mask the entire time masks are no longer required but strongly recommended. I purchased an audio tour, and the exhibit was fantastic and mind-blowing!



Guo Pei grew up during China’s Cultural Revolution, dreaming of beautifully embroidered dresses.


As she grew up, she did produce ingenious and delicate embroidery on clothes which was presented on runways across the globe.


The designs she is showing exist
somewhere between

fashion,
theater,
sculpture,
and
performance.



"Guo Pei: Couture Fantasy celebrates the extraordinary designs of Guo Pei.

She is hailed as China's first couturier.

The exhibit highlights her most important collections from the past two decades 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."

Guo Pei: Couture Fantasy

WOW those designs are so cool and so unique

I to wear a mask if I am somewhere where it has plenty of people, so I guess most times I go into a supermarket or pharmacy which are about the only indoor places I go these days LOL

Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :), I truly enjoy exploring the world virtually each Wednesday seeing walks from all around the globe and feeling I am there and experiencing it all myself, such as I did in your post just now :)

Cool!!!
It is important, I think, to wear a mask in public places. I shall wait for a while before I totally remove my mask in public. However, during gatherings in the house, my friends remove their mask... I do know they are like me in public places. But I am still paranoid!!!
Thanks for coming, @tattoodjay !
I love Wednesday Walk very much! It's the only tag I use every week, and Market Friday. YAY to #TEAMUSA!!!

I, for one, agree with you!
So I am living for Hawaii this Saturday for a week long vacation.
I know I will be wearing a mask in public, visit the beaches with a bit of distancing!
My first time to travel again after two years, I am worried somehow.

I'm not much on fashion, a pair of jeans and a white t-shirt is my main attire.

I've got a feeling you liked this exhibit because all of the garments seem to be covered in Gold Leaf. 😀

Hahaha, yes, partly!!! But you should see the intricate designs!
I'd love to have mrs @thebigsweed to go with me to such an exhibit!!!

Mrs. thebigsweed, aka @farm-mom/Jackie O'Silver would be all in.
Matter of fact that would take some of the pressure off of me to get off of the farm.

Very fine craftsmanship @silversaver888 , was this a very crowded event my friend? Always good to be careful being in a crowd and wearing a mask. For now I think the virus has run its course where we live.......

The museum itself is very large. There were lots of people, but spread all over. Some were in the coffee shop, some in the store, some in other exhibits (permanent ones), actually there were three exhibits on going. This is what I miss a lot in San Francisco! It is so peaceful in that place. A quiet place despite the many, many people. And outside is overlooking the Golden Gate bridge, @silvertop 👍😁!
The museum just reopened after being temporarily close last year.

Some girl had to be on those shoes and walk the runways with it!
The clothes were actual clothes that was shown, hahaha.
But you can buy the simpler designs and not the shoes, sis!
See you in the next one!
I would have loved going to the exhibit with you.
Hugs and kisses, sis 🤗😘💕
