That is the goal of her brand. Positioned as an international brand, it has been focusing on the restoration and innovation of traditional fabrics and unique craftsmanship rooted in Inner Mongolia and the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau.
"If we want to build a world-class Chinese brand, we must dig deep into traditional Chinese cultures, raw materials and crafts, especially those less-known from ethnic groups in which we have seen enormous potential to make our brands stand out on the global stage," Guo says.
