Gift of Andrew Gn

This chiffon gown is printed in paisley motifs and embellished with matching fuchsia rhinestones and amethysts at the neckline. It comes from his Spring/Summer 2009 collection which references Indian design elements. 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.
