We Fell In Love With Guo Pei’s Chinese Couture And Just Had To Create A Fairytale World For It
We were approached by Savannah College of Art and Design in collaboration with Rizzoli Publishing to produce a monograph for the visionary fashion designer Guo Pei.
While we were originally familiar with her name in connection to the 2015 Met Gala dress she fashioned for Rihanna, we quickly became enamored with her work. Looking through her designs was like pulling clothing straight out of Alice in Wonderland so we naturally went the route of creating fairytale worlds for them to live in.
The series of images were used in an art book called "Guo Pei: Couture Beyond" to showcase her work as inspiration to the western world. As the creative director and retoucher for HOWL, a traveling photo collective, it was my job to bring these images into the fantasy realm.
Over the course of 3 weeks and 13 locations in the deep south, Elliot Ross, Forest Woodward, Patrick O'Brien and I created 130 original images to be used in her book, 'Beyond Couture.'
We hope you enjoy them!

The diversified mermaid which is beautiful. Now I want this dress seems the design can be appropriate for all sizes if custom made ... fantastic looking!

OH MY GOODNESS! THE OUTFIT IS BEAUTIFUL! WHAT A POWERFUL STATEMENT MAKER FOR THE EMPIRE ... THE SPECTLAR DRESS FOR THE EMPEROR DOYENNE ...
These are so creative and charming- I think you'd be excellent at fashion editorial work!
I really like these photos. They are perfectly composed and well made. In addition, it is fascinating, as each scenery is matched to the outfit. Each of these paintings has its own atmosphere, even if all of them are somewhat mysterious and surrealistic. I really appreciate that.
