The show featured materials that showcase opulence such fil coupé fabric, heavy textured jacquard, multicoloured thread embroidery and iridescent beads and crystals.Andrew Gn is one of Singapore’s most prolific fashion designers in history, achieving high levels of critical acclaim and industry success.
