Gift of Andrew Gn

The blouse of this ensemble features a collar embellished with pearls and is printed with a mix of floral and leopard patterns. It is paired with a pair of black shorts and a belt with pearl-embellished buckle. 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.
