The collection draws inspiration from traditional Chinese courtyards, emphasizing intricate details, craftsmanship, and symbolism. Silhouettes are dramatic and voluminous, featuring long flowing gowns, capes, and skirts, some with elaborate trailing trains. Luxurious fabrics like silk, satin, brocade, and tulle are employed, adorned with embroidery, crystals, and feathers. The colour palette is rich, showcasing jewel tones such as emerald green, ruby red, and sapphire blue, along with softer hues like blush pink and ivory.

The garments exhibit a blend of refined maximalism and Chinese-inspired touches, featuring Mandarin collars and a fusion of qipao and hanfu silhouettes with a contemporary aesthetic. The collection not only showcases exquisite dresses but also whimsical separates, all adorned with sumptuous embellishments. Guo Pei seamlessly intertwines her Chinese heritage with couture sensibilites creating a collection that exudes drama. A blend of refined maximalism and Chinese-inspired touches, this collection was a true celebration of heritage.
