Gift of Andrew Gn

This mini dress is hand ruched at the bustier and features silver silk damask on the bubble skirt. Andrew Gn often develops his own fabric especially for his collections, showing his attention to details and savoir faire in textiles. 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.
