Guo Pei


China's Premier Fashion Design is Guo Pei. She is a Beijing based designer. Her 2009 Fall Collection was inspired by 16th and 17th century fashions. Blue and White porcelin were also big inspirations for her. She dresses a lot of Chinese celebrities as well as politician's wives. She has been designing for 13 years. Originally she didn't think that she was going to be successful because when she started out 13 years ago, everyone was wearing drab colors and materials due to excessive government controls. She started making clothes and asking for a percentage of whatever was sold. Once she got married to a Taiwanese textile company owner, she decided to pursue her dream of making custom made dresses.
