Gift of Andrew Gn

This maxi silk dress features an embellished halter neckline and empire waist with a flowy skirt. This is part of Andrew Gn’s Autumn/Winter 2007 collection in which the designer created pieces inspired by the opulence of the Belle Époque period during the 18th century. 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.
