Gift of Andrew Gn

This coat features geometric motifs and hand-made silk fringe in a psychedelic palette of fuchsia, maroon, orange, and blue. It comes from Andrew Gn’s Spring/Summer 2003 collection which combines cross-cultural designs in psychedelic colours reminiscent of the 1960s style. This collection was the grand finale of the Singapore Fashion Festival 2003 and his first runway presentation in his home country. Andrew Gn is one of Singapore’s most prolific fashion designers in history, achieving high levels of critical acclaim and industry success. He is the only Singaporean to be a constant feature of Paris Fashion Week since 1995. His creations are known for their elegant, feminine, maximalist aesthetics and are finely crafted, cross-cultural, and reflective of innovation in tradition in fashion. This work is part of his major gift back to Singapore.
