Gift of Andrew Gn

This denim skirt suit comprises an asymmetric tailored jacket and tiered maxi skirt. The irregular seams appear more experimental than the usual elegant style of Andrew Gn, but the self-fabric trims at the hems and yoke nonetheless reflect the attention to details and intricate embellishments that he is well-known for. This comes from the designer’s Spring/Summer 2017 collection that combines the rebel movement from the French Directory during the final years of 18th century, and the 1980s punk. 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.
