Tribeca Film Festival: Yellow is Forbidden (Review)

by James Bianca April 30, 2018

written by James Bianca 1 minutes read

Director: Pietra Brettkelly

Screenwriter: Pietra Brettkelly

Cast: Guo Pei, Philip Treacy, Wendi Murdoch, Godfrey Deeny

Guo Pei has been designing in China for more than three decades, but the western audience may only know her as the woman who created the stunning garment Rihanna wore when she owned the 2015 China: Through the Looking Glass Met Gala red carpet. In Yellow is Forbidden, Pietra Brettkelly follows the designer after that time as she moves through every detail to become an invited member of the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture – a society so exclusive only twenty-one members currently exist today. In this documentary, Brettkelly intended to tell the story of loss through the decline of haute couture, but the more powerful storyline that is quietly unearthed is the duality that exists within the designer’s world.
