“My whole design is from my thought and consciousness, in a process of philosophical thinking.… I consider every detail or image when I design.”—Guo Pei

The designer’s sketches serve as the foundation for her finished creations, beginning as simple outlines brought to life with gradual additions of ornamentation.

This unique colouring book invites aspiring fashion designers to collaborate directly with Guo Pei’s design process, offering approximately 50 pages of previously unpublished sketches encompassing over a dozen collections.
