1) You’ve been in the fashion industry since the age of 13, before you were discovered, what were your plans for the future? Did you ever envision being in the fashion industry? 

2) It’s been 14 years, how has it been for you? Did you ever think that you’d have made it so far?

3) Was there ever a point where you felt like quitting? (If yes, what made you stay on?)

4) What has been your proudest achievement so far? (Kode with Klossy? Runways/ photoshoots? Marriage?)

5) What made you decide to further your studies, especially in the area of coding of all things? 

6) When did you first have the idea of starting Kode with Klossy?

7) What was your initial expectation of the program? Did you expect so many participants etc?

8) You’ve gotten married recently, so with so many things on your plate, how do you balance them all? 

9) You’re involved in so many different areas and industries, would you ever consider going into the film industry?/ What are your plans for the future?

“I’ve been busy” (monotonous, not amused) chuckles, light-hearted

“Good to see you guys thank you…” stretched out words and head stretching forward, like a yeah, it’s really good to see you (cynically)

Nods head after finishing her small speech of having many girls from many cities going for the program and the achievements, like yes achievement, my achievement (solemnly, said speech boastfully instead of proudly)

Always smiling brightly, very friendly and warm person (opportunistically/ slightly)

“Of course!” Emphasis by dragging the word out a bit, but in a positive way because of her smile, like she meant it (meant it but serious)

A lot of gestures to indicate the scale of what she was saying like a lot of girls from many states etc, and facial expressions like scrunching of eyebrows etc show how proud she is as she did more like a thinking kind of scrunch (her thinking, calculative?)

“We have a lot of fun in our camp, so it’s a lot of work but it’s a lot of play too.” Smiling and the way she says it is like bashfully admitting something but… it’s all good. It’s fun even though it’s hard work (firm, like a business-person)

“Just. Want to learn.” Shoulders up, arms slight spread, like really, just come and learn and like yeah we’re accepting (cynically?, like just reading off a script)

Pursed lips, smile, nod, like mhmm yes (seriously)

“These girls are brilliant” then doing the mind blown gesture, like really brilliant (like just stating)

“Yeah” pursed lips, smile, head bobbing multiple times, like yeah yeah that’s right (move on)

“Oh my gosh” scrunching eyebrows, but smiling, so really, oh my gosh (just reading off a script)

Saying “texting them” and actually acting out typing, like she’s really excited and proud (but without the excitement/ excited typing so just slow type thingy)

Slow blink, like really unbelievable then narrowing of eyes to be serious, but like wow really proud of them

“Thank you so much” (slight) smile and tilt head slightly bashful but really mean it

What kind of research did the interviewer do?

MET Gala 2015, the world got their first taste of Guo Pei through pre-Fenty Rihanna in what The Guardian called “the omelette dress”.

The exhibition features some of Guo Pei’s intricate works, from haute couture to wedding gowns, all with a mix of the East and the West, each having taken thousands of hours to be put together. There is even a piece on display that was inspired by the museum’s own personal collection, with the original piece displayed next to it. 

Despite her incorporation of Western styles like the Bolero and frills, there is always a distinct element of the Chinese culture seen through the base of the designs and the embroidery. The legendary 5-toed dragons after dragons can be found in many of her pieces; the use of gold thread, an angsty move against the Chinese belief of “Yellow is forbidden”; lotuses, peonies, flowers found on many Chinese artifacts; altogether form the empowering breath-taking pieces that is uniquely Guo Pei.
