Rarely do we get to spotlight an artist with such a philosophical bent for Robb Report Hong Kong’s Leaders of Luxury series, but the larger-than-life works of couturier Guo Pei speak for themselves. Guo is a globally recognised icon whose retrospective work spans two decades, featuring 40 acclaimed pieces that are on show at M+ in Hong Kong as we go to publish. How does it feel to have your portfolio on display in one of the largest visual-arts museums in Asia? How does she produce such fantastical shapes? And where do these mesmerising visions stem from? She answers all this and much more, concluding with what luxury means to her.
