Rihanna’s jaw-dropping 2015 Met Gala dress is on show in Hong Kong and the event is the hottest ticket in town.
At what point does fashion morph into art? Find out for yourself at Guo Pei: Fashioning Imagination, the first high-fashion exhibition at M+ in the West Kowloon Cultural District, where the dazzling body of work of iconic Chinese couturier Guo Pei is on full exhibit.
Displayed in five chapters, pieces of extraordinary size, shape, colour, conception, and gravity-defying execution have been brought in from all parts of the world. A gold-painted bamboo structure festooned with flowers, a Ming-dynasty vase-patterned and -shaped dress, headgear studded with jewels, an overlong red wedding gown and veil sparkling with sequins—there’s a cinematic and surreal look and feel to each piece, one that’s beyond wearable art.
