Gift of Andrew Gn

The black sleeveless cashmere top is paired with a skirt with leather appliqué of motifs inspired by European folklore. The feature of this look at the Colette shop window in Paris probably marked a significant turning point in Andrew Gn’s career, which led to him being more recognised. 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.
