I don't know if I'm behind on this but when I think of fashion week I only ever associate London, Paris New York in my mind. This is possible a bad cultural stigma I have developed, thinking that these fashion capitals are the only places that could possibly produce anything worth while. Anyway I was recently reminded that there are fashion weeks in numerous other countries which of course I knew but never paid any attention too. That is until I stumbled across an amazing designer, no let me rephrase ARTIST!
Guo Pei from China.
Now many of you have probably seen his sky high geisha looking (works of art) shoes likely to be found on and google search with the word 'shoe' in it.....But I looked at some of his shows from the past 2 years at Hong Kong and China Fashion week and his stuff is absolutely amazing! Its not exactly ready to wear but his creativity, fantasy and imagination are second to none.
For me he is up there with Jean Paul Gaultier in the imagination stakes.
TRES BON!! <3 <3 <3
