Named a “pioneer among foreign-born, Paris-based designers” by Vogue, Andrew Gn is one of Singapore’s most prolific creative forces, producing more than 80 collections and 10,000 pieces of clothing over 25 years.

Making its North American debut, this exhibition showcases nearly 100 stunning works, including clothing, accessories, original illustrations and digital media, divided into thematic sections that highlight the designer’s signature blend of Western aesthetics, art history and Asian decorative art and design.

Since founding his Paris fashion house in 1995, Gn has become synonymous with opulence, intricate embellishment and luxurious craftsmanship. A visionary dressmaker and color virtuoso, he merges artistic traditions, bold patterns and cultural influences to create more than just clothing: His work is a celebration of cross-cultural exchange and technical innovation.
