LONDON — Sotheby's London is counting on Guo Pei's expert eyes and hands, with plans to have the Chinese couturier select works for the second edition of "Gold: The Midas Touch" sale in London in October. She will also display, and sell, four of her couture creations as part of the project, WWD has learned.
"The Midas Touch" sale in London focuses on the precious metal, which also figures big in Pei's creations: Some of her gowns include 24-carat gold thread.
