Guo Pei x MAC Cosmetics, a creative collaboration

Creativity seems to be the exact description name for the new collaboration between the Chinese courtier Guo Pei and the beauty brand, MAC Cosmetics. 

Guo Pei is the designer behind the fabulous dress that Rihanna wore at the MET Gala. The yellow caped gown made sensation at the MET and the designer gained an amazing awareness over this. 

The partnership between the designer and the beauty brand includes 16 pieces. The designer told that she created eight dresses specially for this project and the entire process took about three years. The inspiration for these dresses was the Milky Way with its colors and dreamy energy. The designer loves to be inspired by nature and everything that surrounds her. Based on this, the makeup collection was created.

"There is a Chinese saying, 'There is a kingdom in a flower; a wisdom in a leaf,'" Pei said. "I always find the power of nature fascinating, especially when the flowers are blossoming. The idea inspired the creative process of the dresses for MAC. I finished my preliminary sketch in my study on one quiet afternoon without a break. However, while the drawings were beautiful, they lacked completeness ... "Then one day, my daughter showed me a set of extraordinarily beautiful pictures of the Milky Way. The intoxicating colours of the universe sparked a power of life in my soul... I captured the energy and created eight dresses for MAC - 'Garden of Soul.' Based upon the eight dresses, we developed this beautiful makeup collection."
