Supermodel Carmen made the finale
On the evening of January 25, Paris time, Guo Pei, chief entrepreneurial mentor and famous designer of the New China Building, released the 2017 spring/summer collection "Legend" in Paris, which was Guo Pei's third appearance at the Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week. "The Legend of the Catwalk" American supermodel Carmen Dell' Orefice made her debut at this conference, ending her modeling career with "legend".
The conference, which took more than two years to prepare, condensed more than 700 days of hard work of more than 500 craftsmen, and was called "the most sincere" couture series by Guo Pei. From the beginning of January 2016 to the Paris Couture Fashion Week deliberately testing the wearability, to the return to pure artistic expression a year later, Guo Pei used the purest design language and clothing as the carrier to show a dreamy and colorful mental journey.
"My inspiration came from the church, once I went to a Small European town, st. Gallen's Cathedral a thousand years ago, and it touched me, and it was particularly beautiful. Walking into that church, I felt like I was willing to melt into it, and I was very touched by that dedication attitude and spirit. This series is actually an understanding of dedication. In fact, any beautiful thing in the world is done by people with a lot of time and a lot of handwork. There are many people who say that that kind of beauty is a kind of accumulation, but that kind of beauty is really a shock, it can shock your inner soul, and you are really speechless in front of that kind of beauty. Time is life, you can put your life into something, that is the real pursuit of beauty, is dedication. I would love to use this show to share the beauty of dedication with you. Guo Pei said.
In order to match the theme of the "legend" released this time, the show was held in the thousand-year-old "Guards Cavalry Hall" where the famous "severed queen" Queen Mary was imprisoned, and in Guo Pei's view, Queen Mary is also a legend, "From one angle you may think she is wrong, but from another angle you feel that she is right, it is difficult to measure history with right and wrong." It may be that yesterday's fault is today's right, or it is possible that today's right is tomorrow's fault. So never use right and wrong and interests to choose, be careful, feel your life, and take responsibility for each step. ”
Guo Pei hopes that everyone can also see "courage" in this release show, in the face of some doubts that may appear, she said, "The release uses a lot of embroidery, maybe many people will not understand, maybe many people will not understand, maybe many people will question from different angles, I don't care, because it is a summary of my 30 years of a real attitude towards life." ”
Since Guo Pei landed in Paris Couture Fashion Week as the only officially invited member in China in January 2016, the New China Tower and the New China Garment Industry Innovation and Development Foundation have been strongly supporting her to show her Chinese design power on the international stage, and Zhang Chunsheng, chairman of the New China Garment Industry Innovation and Development Foundation, and Jin Ling, an expert member and famous auctioneer of the New China Garment Industry Innovation and Development Foundation, went to the Paris press conference as a special guest to help Guo Pei. As the chief entrepreneurial mentor of the New China Building and an expert member of the New China Garment Industry Innovation and Development Foundation, Guo Pei also said that in the new year, he will contribute his own strength to the ongoing industrial upgrading of the New China Building of the "China Women's Clothing Fast Fashion Center".
