      Experience a dazzling retrospective of the fashion, art and design mastery of Singaporean designer Andrew Gn.

      Andrew Gn, named a “pioneer among foreign-born, Paris-based designers” by Vogue, is one of Singapore’s most prolific creative forces. Over 25 years, he has produced more than 80 collections and 10,000 elegant ensembles.

      Making its North American debut, Andrew Gn: Fashioning the World illuminates the designer’s life and legacy, showcasing nearly 100 stunning works, including clothing, accessories, original illustrations and digital media. The experience is divided into thematic sections highlighting 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 celebrates cross-cultural exchange and technical innovation.
