She is the designer - Guo Pei.
Telling the story of craftsmen, tasting the ingenuity of unique luck, and spreading Chinese civilization, this issue of Ziya Boy Fun Craftsman Observation will introduce the story of this Chinese artist Guo Pei.
Guo Pei was born in 1967 in a family that was not wealthy. Guo Pei often envied children who could wear a lot of beautiful skirts. She always thought that if one day she could also wear such a beautiful little dress and be a little princess in the hands of her parents, it would be good.
Because of family reasons, Guo Pei has lived with his grandmother since he was a child. It can be said that Guo Pei can have today's achievements, and his grandmother has great help. Guo Pei's grandmother was a woman who especially liked embroidery. Perhaps it is related to the grandmother's family, the grandmother loved to make clothes from a young age, and in old age, the grandmother would still take the embroidery needle and tremble and embroider on the clothes.
Therefore, Guo Pei could occasionally see with his own eyes what pattern his grandmother was intently embroidering on her clothes. Because my grandmother was very old and easily tired, whenever she picked up the embroidery needle, she had to stop and rest after a few minutes of embroidery. Taking advantage of her grandmother's rest time, she would always tell Guo Pei about the scene of embroidery when she was young.
Because all aspects at that time were not as developed as they are now, people's pursuit of aesthetics was also different. At that time, people liked to embroider flowers, butterflies and other natural landscapes on their clothes. When Guo Pei listened to her grandmother explain to her in detail how to embroider these patterns on her clothes one stitch at a time, Guo Pei's eyes seemed to appear in front of that picture, and she had an immersive feeling.
Under the influence of his grandmother, Guo Pei gradually fell in love with embroidery, and Guo Pei secretly swore that he would become a fashion designer in the future. In order to realize her dream, Guo Pei has worked very hard since she was a child, and she wants to be admitted to the ideal university in her heart.
Whoever has the will, it will be done. In Guo Pei's day and night efforts, she was finally admitted to a school's fashion design major, and since then Guo Pei has begun her own fashion design path.
During his college years, Guo Pei studied very seriously about fashion design. Because he had not been in contact with him before, Guo Pei was very attentive. She kept every piece of knowledge in her mind. However, on paper, she finally realized that she had to do something about it, and Guo Pei herself understood this truth, so she applied the knowledge she had learned to practice.
The requirements of clothing design are very high, in addition to talent, but also to pay dozens of times more effort than ordinary people. Guo Pei spent the whole day either in the classroom or in the library. Sometimes the lights in the library were out, so she sat in the corner with her flashlight and studied silently. Sometimes Guo Pei is too obsessed with learning, she can go a day and a night without eating or drinking, wandering in the ocean of knowledge can not extricate herself.
Guo Pei often sleeps and forgets to eat because of study, and in the eyes of her classmates, she is a complete nerd, a desperate third lady. In the eyes of many students, they cannot understand Guo Pei's obsession and love for clothing, but only Guo Pei himself knows that she regards clothing design as her lifelong dream and her own pursuit.
In 1986, Guo Pei successfully graduated with the first place in professional courses, and her university career came to a complete end. After graduating from college, Guo Pei, because he did not have much funds, he could only choose to work for others. She works as a fashion designer for many companies in Beijing.
After all, she was just starting out, and many people were skeptical of her, but Guo Pei used his strength to convince them. The clothing designed by Guo Pei for her company has brought huge benefits to the company, the tide has risen, Guo Pei's value has gradually increased, and she has gradually gained some fame.
However, Guo Pei is not a person who is content with the status quo, and her pursuit and love of dreams do not allow her to always do things for others. After much deliberation, Guo Pei chose to resign and set up his own portal.
However, the road to entrepreneurship is full of bumps and unknowns. Guo Pei was temporarily in difficulty because he did not have sufficient entrepreneurial funds. In order to raise money, she asked her classmates and friends to borrow money. After all the hardships, Guo Pei finally had his own studio.
Because it was very difficult at the beginning, Guo Pei did not have extra money to recruit employees, so her studio was only busy with herself. Every day she worked until the early hours of the morning, constantly sitting at her desk and drawing delicate patterns on the paper. Design needs inspiration, and sometimes without inspiration, Guo Pei will sit at the table in a daze. When she doesn't design a satisfactory piece, she throws it in the trash and starts over.
That time was her most difficult time, Guo Pei would often hold the pen for ten days or even a month, her fingers were full of blood bubbles from the pen shaft, and it was common to break the skin. Maintaining a position for a long time, Guo Pei's fingers will also be unable to move due to stiffness and pain, and whenever she rubs for several hours to ease up slightly, and then continues to draw.
However, only the design drawings have no finished products, and everyone still can't see their clothes. Therefore, Guo Pei is constantly running on the road to find manufacturers. It is very difficult to find a manufacturer that suits you, and all aspects must be guaranteed. But Guo Pei did not give up, she believes that life is not only in front of the moment, but also poetry and far away, after the difficulties, it is a beautiful future.
Under the efforts of Guo Pei, she searched for it and finally found a manufacturer willing to cooperate with her. Guo Pei provided the design drawings, and they were responsible for producing the clothes. In 1996, Guo Pei held his first personal clothing conference. The effect is remarkable, and since then Guo Pei has officially entered the fashion industry.
Seeing that everything is developing in a good direction, Guo Pei's work has also gradually had some new people. Guo Pei thought about the clothes he designed so far, there is no official provenance, and everyone does not know which studio designed it. So Guo Pei intends to set up his own brand. After a year of hard work, Guo Pei established his own brand in 1997 - Rose Fang.
Since then, Guo Pei's future has been bright. She has been invited to the Paris Fashion Fair in France many times and shocked people all over the world with her elaborate clothes. Many supermodels are vying to wear her designed clothes to the catwalk, and are even willing to show her for free.
Because Guo Pei has been pursuing the design of the most beautiful clothes in the world, she has been thinking about what kind of clothes are the most beautiful. It wasn't until one day a guest found her and brought her wedding dress to help her make it, that she realized that the wedding dress was the most beautiful dress. So she began to design all kinds of high-end wedding dresses. Many popular celebrities' wedding dresses are designed by Guo Pei, such as Liu Shishi, Angelababy, Tang Yan and so on.
Guo Pei also designed an award ceremony with unique Chinese characteristics for the 2008 Olympic Games. Many famous hosts' clothes are also from her hands, and her clothes are gorgeous but not vulgar. Each set has its own unique style, and Guo Pei has achieved a perfect fusion of Chinese and Western cultures and displayed it in her clothes. At the same time, Guo Pei's clothes are beautiful, and the sense of fashion is still very strong, so it can reach the average price of 2 million.
Guo Pei's success is inseparable from her pursuit of dreams and love for clothing design. Every time she amazes the world, she challenges herself.
