For springtime, she reviewed her early interest for the artform. “I called it ‘slap!'” she stated with a laugh, detailing that her muse was the Spanish Romani flamenco professional dancer Carmen Amaya, who, corresponding to her research, was the initial woman to wear a men’s fit to dance.
“I located this an exciting point to start the assortment,” stated Guo. “It corresponds to the way I develop the women design.” Unlike many of her counterparts on the Shanghai Manner Week calendar, Guo is engrossed with clothing an elder client rather than pursuing a perennially “young” it-girl.
