The Art of Fashion: In Conversation with Guo Pei, Ikko Yokoyama, and Desiree Au
時尚的藝術： 郭培、Ikko Yokoyama與歐詠詩對談
21/9/2024 14:30 - 16:00 @ M+ Grand Stair 大台階
Join Guo Pei, M+ Lead Curator of Design and Architecture Ikko Yokoyama, and Vogue Hong Kong founding publisher Desiree Au for a discussion on the relationship between fashion, art, and design, and how through the development of the exhibition this relationship is explored.
As one of China’s first generation of fashion designers, Guo Pei has expressed her dream for beauty through her endeavour in couture art over the last three decades. She melds historic Chinese craftsmanship with diverse cultural inspirations and haute couture. Her garments are not merely wearable sculptures but mirrors that reflect the rapid economic development in China, the pursuit for material pleasure and technical heights, and the universal hunger for spectacle. The Special Exhibition Guo Pei: Fashioning Imagination pairs Guo’s pioneering vision with artworks in the M+ Collection that also speak to the same cosmopolitan modernist approaches and references in visual art and culture during the post-1980 period.
在是次開幕講座中，郭培將與M+設計及建築主策展人Ikko Yokoyama及《Vogue》香港版出版人歐詠詩探討時裝、藝術與設計的關係，探索三者之間的發展。
作為中國首批當代時裝設計師之一，郭培在過去三十載的歲月裏醉心於時尚藝術創作，糅合中國傳統工藝、不同文化啟迪和高訂時裝，展現出獨特的美學世界。她的作品不僅是可穿上身的藝術品，更如同一面鏡子，反映中國經濟高速發展、對物質享受和先進技術的追求，以及對非凡體驗的共同渴望。特別展覽「郭培：藝想天開」呈現郭培對藝術的超前視野，亦展出M+的藝術及設計藏品，貫通1980年後視覺藝術與文化風潮中的國際化現代主義元素。
