OUTtAKES OF the May There Be Light Collection

Paris, 2020
Gown
‍May There Be Light Collection
Acetate and viscose crepe
ACM, Gift of Andrew Gn
Gn’s designs, which include ready-to-wear and bespoke pieces, are known for melding the aesthetic of East-meets-West with exuberant use of colours, luxurious materials, and great attention to detail. The only Singaporean designer now included in Paris Fashion Week, his works appeal globally to high society and celebrities in the US, Europe, and Asia.

Amid pandemic lockdowns across the globe, he was inspired to create a collection that would bring hope, pleasure, and joy.
This all-white look symbolises purity, cleansing, and rebirth. It is crafted from fluid crepe and features a fringed cape that falls over the bodice. The cape is a nod to Chinese export shawls of the 20th century, often called “Manila shawls”.
This piece is from Andrew Gn’s
Spring/Summer 2021 collection
May There Be Light.
