Famous designer Guo Pei released her latest creations in Beijing on May 6. The fashion show is named Story of a Dragon and had been in the works for three years.

Guo, 45, started her designer career when she was 19. In 1986, she graduated from college and became one of the first professional designers in China. She is now regarded as China's top haute couture and high-end dress designer.

Guo's designs carry strong Chinese style, from embroidery to traditional patterns. But the traditional elements merge perfectly with modern influences. She also combines oriental flavor with Western cutting styles perfectly.

She has designed gowns for hostesses of China Central Television's annual Spring Festival Gala for several years. She was also the designer of the beautiful ceremonial dresses used in the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. As chief designer and founder of the Rose Studio Haute Couture, Guo designed gowns for A-list stars, such as Zhang Ziyi and Song Zuying, for their biggest appearances.
