Inspired by traditional Chinese embroidery, Guo Pei founded an embroidery workshop that provides training for embroiderers. Heir to an ancestral tradition of embroidery, she puts her talent to the service of innovation in the art of embroidery. She launched two years ago a cooperation program on "training in embroidery" with the Beijing Industry and Trade Technicians College: Rose Studio provides training to the teachers, but also internship and employment opportunities to students.

Her show "Reincarnation" during the China Fashion Week in 2007 won the award for Best Dress. Ever since, each Guo Pei’s show is a sought after event, as the "Thousand and two
nights" in 2010 and "The Legend of the Dragon" in 2012 that will remain in the annals of Fashion Week in Beijing.
The economy and Chinese society have undergone profound upheavals that served to consolidate the brand in its leading market position. In nearly 20 years, Rose Studio, is still regarded today, with its top 100 artisans, 300 highly skilled small hands, as the most professional and influential couture atelier in China. The designer's hand of perfection shows today. Many celebrities chose to wear Guo Pei's creations on international stages: Zhang Zi Yi to the Grammy Awards, Fan or Li Bingbing at film festivals in Venice and Cannes and recently, Rihanna at the Met Ball.
