Guo's work fuses the influences of China's imperial past with the grandeur of European court life, architecture and the botanical world. An example is the "carousel dress" from the architecture collection, which was inspired by her memory of a rotating carousel.

"This dress is constructed from two layers of linen supported by a metal armature. Close inspection reveals an embroidered street scene worked into the skirt's fabric," says D'Alessandro.

"The effects of light and shadow conjure up images of Chinese shadow puppet theater."

The museum has planned a series of programs during the exhibition to engage local artists who have been influenced by Guo.

Other events, such as artist talks and film screening, will examine Guo's development as an international fashion designer or explore cultural heritage as art inspiration.

"I hope that it (the exhibition) will bring greater awareness and understanding of my life's passion, and convey Chinese culture, traditions and show the new face of contemporary China," Guo says in a media statement.
