Gift of Andrew Gn

The cropped jacket of this ensemble is richly embroidered with floral crystals in a rococo style. This ensemble comes from Andrew Gn’s ‘Hope and Glory’ collection which was presented as a film during the Covid-19 lockdown. 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.
