Hello Friends! Today I am delighted to present to you Guo Pei: Couture Fantasy Exhibit from the Legion of Honor Museum in San Francisco. The exhibit is currently running through September 5, but word on the street is that it will be extended before being packed up and sent back to China. This exhibit is not traveling at this time.
I was absolutely overwhelmed by this exhibit. every dress is a masterclass in creative and technical achievement. We saw this over the course of two days because myself as well as the people I was with were so mentally overloaded by what we saw that we missed about half of the exhibit entirely! I HIGHLY recommend you get yourself to this exhibit if possible. It's pretty here on video or in the book, but it's a whole different ballgame when you view it in person!

Hoops, corsets, bustles, hip pads, all that is old is made new. She’s using some very interesting materials and having them hold positions like the gold ship dress, doesn’t appear like it’s for “normal life/use” but the short blue velvet gown reminded me of Worth. And the blue and white gowns just before you came back with your thoughts were sweet. It was a beautiful exhibit

It's a living fantasy. I am in awe of the creativity and mad skills it took to dream up and create these!

I went to this exhibit with my mom last month. Not only is the Guo Pei exhibit amazing and crazy and fascinating, the Legion of Honor's regular exhibit halls are also pretty darned stunning. I have a whole new appreciation for medieval and early modern portraiture, and I even got a few ideas!

Absolutely stunning. I had never heard of this designer before now so thank you for sharing . I can't even begin to imagine the weight of some of these remarkably beautiful creations. Wow.

I can definitely see why this would take two trips. Everything is so incredibly beautiful and exquisite in execution. Thanks so much for sharing your adventure with us.

Thank you SO MUCH for filming and posting this! I am nowhere near any museums or cultural centres, and this content is just wonderful! Very fantastical, and oddly wearable ideas.

Had never heard of Guo Pei before seeing this video but intrigued me enough to go look her up. Fantastic looks

Overwhelm is real virtually too. Every time I thought that's my favourite a new one supplanted it. The strongest reaction for me was the blue and gold gown in the blue and gold room. The colours were perfect. It was as if a chair had started to move - a visceral emotion. I think I would happily spend a week there doing a little bit at a time - it would be a fantastic holiday. What stunning works of art. If the V&A are listening...... pleeeeeaaaase!

What a feast for the eyes, thank you SO MUCH for taking us with you. Please, please make your very own take on the black bustle gown.

Heartfelt thanks Noelle for giving me this exposure to such a magnificent exhibition. I can understand how you were overwhelmed by the beauty and complexity of these art pieces. Your filming is superb, not too fast and both long and close views. I always love your museum tours but this was exceptional. Thank you again for all your hard work on this particular vlog, ( omg the editing?) and all you do. Angela from Durham 🇬🇧 UK

I don't know if I would be able to resist touching the shinies... 🤣 Could you imagine the stress being a conservator of this collection?

Those were in one word Spectacular! And some way I feel that description is not even enough. I LOVE what I saw and would love to have a few of them in my wardrobe!!!!

There's no way I'm making it to this exhibit, but it's beautiful, so thank you for uploading this!

I really hope the exhibition will come to the UK to the V&A at some point. I bought my mum the Couture Beyond book. We both love Pouring over all the details. I shared this video with her immediately, she will be watching it tomorrow. Then we will be having a long telephone conversation all about it. Thank you so much for uploading such a stunning and detailed video. I need to get the exhibition book now.

I can see how this exhibit would be overwhelming. There is SO MUCH incredible detail in every way possible. I wish that it were possible to see the interior of a piece or two. I imagine the inside finishing must be something to behold.
