When I was in San Francisco last month we stopped at the Legion of Honor Museum. Now I shared a bit of that visit after returning, but to my surprise there was a special exhibit by Chinese designer, Gua Pei, based on the history of China. The designer took into consideration many myths of dragons, phoenixes, and totems in putting together this amazing collection.
This first dress was a show stopper and just took my breath away.
Warning: picture heavy since I just wanted to capture it all and share it with you.
Enjoy!
Can you imagine wearing this to a special event?
Even the shoes were each a piece of art.
The blue and white pieces reminded me of Delph china.
This one was my favorite and stunning in person.
Displayed in this museum setting just was beautiful.
I don't know if it was just because it was in San Francisco, but the Asian community was particularly enchanted by this exhibit.
Even the furniture around the museum was gorgeous.
As stated at the museum, the designers designs were a fusion of Chinese art with diverse traditions and styles. To me she displayed a wonderful, whimsical imagination. The detail of each was truly a work of art.
May you have a spectacular weekend, dear friends!
