Gift of Andrew Gn

This royal blue coat in mohair felt features black fur collar and appliqué of gingko leaves in black velvet. It is paired with a camisole dress with matching appliqué motifs. It comes from Andrew Gn’s Autumn/Winter 2015 collection which reinvents upholstery into fashion. 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.
