RUNWAY REPORT.....Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week: Guo Pei Couture Spring 2017

Guo Pei Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2017

WHAT: Guo Pei Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2017. Guo Pei--famous for that coat worn by Rihanna at the Met Gala 2015 honoring the "China: Through The Looking Glass" Exhibition, as well as her infamous One Thousand and Two Arabian Nights Collection showed her latest Haute Couture collection in Paris at the same location Marie Antoinette was imprisoned before being sent to the guillotine. Supermodel Carmen Dell'Orefice was the "surprise" Finale.

THEME/INSPIRATION: The St. Gallen Cathedral (above) in St. Gallen Switzerland. Religious Princesses in Couture. Lots of gold, opulent applique, embroidery, ballgowns, incredible museum-quality designs (the collection, supposedly, took two years to make). The Lady Gaga of yesteryear would be proud.
