Gift of Andrew Gn

This sleeveless mini pencil dress features a boat neckline with floral embroidery. This is part of Andrew Gn’s Spring/Summer 2008 collection in which Gn incorporated elements of flora and fauna in his pieces. 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.
