Gift of Andrew Gn
This pleated white gown is embroidered with Tahitian pearls and black jet stones at the collar, chest, and waist. This comes from Andrew Gn’s Spring/Summer 2020 collection which reimagines the style of Madame de Pompadou from the mid-18th century French court. 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.
