Chinese opera theatrics gone Avant Garde is one way to describe Guo Pei’s collection. The fashion designer from China presents an interesting mix of colors, textures and silhouettes resulting in a slightly weird but wonderfully beautiful collection.

Some has seen a parallel to Alexander McQueen. It is in the shoes?

I suppose, if your name is Lady Gaga, you’d be inclined to wear one of these sky high clogs of art medieval torture device.

So, are you ready for Guo Pei?

Update: Found more pictures from her Rose Studio collection. Lampshade + gift ribbon = cute dress. Whodathunkit?


A structured gold dress fit for Queen. Queen Nefertiti, that is.

A wedding dress for a modern day Victorian Princess.

More fantastical creations here (in Chinese).
Always a sucker for beautiful headbands. This beautiful piece, a wide wrapped headband with sheer ribbon, elastic, and leather braided details, called Ranjilina is designed by Abigail Ricarte of Bambako.

One of the bestsellers, called Shout, Shout. I can see why!
