This exhibition is special, it’s not just about fashion, they presented a conversation between historical art works and contemporary Chinese fashion and design. When you enter into the world of Guo Pei: Chinese Art and Couture at ACM, observe the exquisite designs and workmanship, go beyond the world of fashion and you would be drawn into the history, heritage and culture side as well as the other side of contemporary and modern era today.

The story behind Guo Pei: Chinese Art and Couture started almost ten years ago in Paris. Chinese fashion designer Guo Pei visited ACM traveling show on Peranakan art at Musee du quai Branly in Paris. She was charmed by the intricate beauty and exquisite details of the beadwork and embroidery objects on display. Thereafter, Guo Pei created two bridal dresses in response from her visit. Oh yes, the two bridal dresses are also part of this special exhibition too!

A few years later, a curator from ACM saw Chinese celebrity Angelababy wearing one of Guo Pei’s bridal dresses. Through their discussion between the curator and Guo Pei, an idea for an exhibition was born, taking on a conversation between historical art works from ACM and Guo Pei’s contemporary Chinese fashion and design, that you are viewing at Guo Pei: Chinese Art and Couture at ACM.

When you visit Guo Pei: Chinese Art and Couture at ACM, observe the various fashion designs, be mesmerised and be in awe of the beauty, design, embroidery skills. Her fashion showcases were stunning, big, bright, colourful and making huge fashion statements to the world through the fashion display. Guo Pei’s fine art fashion showcase are along the lines of Gold, Yellow, Embroidery and Silk, Hybrid designs, Peranakan connections and Treasured heirlooms: Chinese bridal dress.

This special exhibition Guo Pei: Chinese Art and Couture at ACM is more than just a fashion exhibition. It incorporates Chinese history, heritage, culture, arts, and design as well as Peranakan connections! More photographs of this special exhibition can be viewed here in this Flickr photo album!

It’s not your usual fashion showcase, there is an aura of fashion, history, heritage, culture and arts incorporated into her various fashion designs. Visiting this special exhibition allows you to fully connect and relate to the Guo Pei’s fashion, as well as the historical, heritage, cultural and artistic influences delivered to the visitors through the world of Guo Pei: Chinese Art and Couture. Do visit this unique Chinese Art and Couture at ACM by Guo Pei, view and feel the splendour and glamour of the fashion, heritage, history and culture, this is something really special.
