The Art of Fashion:
In Conversation with Guo Pei, Ikko Yokoyama, and Desiree Au
Fashion designer Guo Pei will be in conversation with M+ Curator Ikko Yokoyama and Vogue Hong Kong founding publisher Desiree Au for a discussion on the relationship between fashion, art, design, and more.
As one of China’s first generation of fashion designers, Guo Pei has expressed her dream for beauty through her endeavour in couture art over the last three decades. She melds historic Chinese craftsmanship with diverse cultural inspirations and haute couture. Her garments are not merely wearable sculptures but mirrors that reflect the rapid economic development in China, the pursuit for material pleasure and technical heights, and the universal hunger for spectacle. The Special Exhibition Guo Pei: Fashioning Imagination pairs Guo’s pioneering vision with artworks in the M+ Collection that also speak to the same cosmopolitan modernist approaches and references in visual art and culture during the post-1980 period.
Join Guo Pei, M+ Lead Curator of Design and Architecture Ikko Yokoyama, and Vogue Hong Kong founding publisher Desiree Au for a discussion on the relationship between fashion, art, and design, and how through the development of the exhibition this relationship is explored.
The free talk will be conducted in English and Mandarin with simultaneous interpretation available in Cantonese, English, and Mandarin. The talk will also be livestreamed via the M+ website and on Bilibili, Facebook, and Youtube.
