Guo Pei is widely known for the intricate and symbolic embroidery she weaves into her couture designs.
We’re awestruck by her latest outfit, featuring a dragon motif that signifies strength and good fortune.
“The inspiration for this year’s doll comes from a design in one of Guo Pei’s past collections,” says designer Joyce Chen, who also worked with her on the 2022 doll.
“The intricate embroidery is one of the most striking details on this doll,” Joyce says. “We were able to capture all the colors and detailed artwork in this more modern silhouette for a Chinese traditional dress.”
