Gift of Andrew Gn

This yellow cashmere-silk turtleneck sweater is paired with a blue linen flared skirt embroidered with hydrangeas motif. This was featured in Vogue UK (2004) photographed by acclaimed fashion photographer, Steven Meisel. 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.
