Gift of Andrew Gn

This khaki tweed coat features brown border details that run from the collar to the hem. Sequins in matching bronze colour are embroidered at the centre opening and cuffs. 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.
