Gift of Andrew Gn

This suit features jacquard patterns and embroidered beadings that form psychedelic paisley patterns which is reminiscent of the 1970s hippie style that informed Andrew Gn’s Pre-Fall 2014 collection. It is paired with a white blouse with hidden placket. 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.
