“The Palace of the East isn’t only a building, but also refers to women, because in Chinese culture you have different sayings about women in palaces. It also refers to the outfits and garments women are wearing in these palaces. And you’ll see it in my collection, which reflects all these outfits and garments. As for the people in the audience, I don’t really want them to understand the Eastern culture of the Palace of the East. I want them to read all this through their own imagination.” - Guo Pei #guopei #guopeiparis #couture
