While Gn is now the toast of Garden City, “Fashioning Singapore” is a shared milestone. For ACM, it marks a 25th anniversary, the unveiling of a major renovation, and the reveal of its largest contemporary fashion retrospective to date. It also signals a fresh chapter: On the eve of the opening, a fundraising gala held in the ballroom at the five-star Fullerton Hotel drew 350 glamorous and heavily bejeweled guests who swelled the museum’s coffers to the tune of S$1.3 million (nearly $965,000), well above the original target. Those funds will be used to grow the ACM’s holdings, with a focus on cross-cultural influences and permutations of Asia in fashion.

“Being able to collect contemporary design is a real source of pride for us,” said ACM director Kennie Ting. “Despite the nationalistic posturing that’s going on these days, the idea that cultures have always interacted is very important to us. People came to Singapore from everywhere and learned from each other, leading to new forms of creative expression. That kind of mixing, borrowing, and coming together to create beauty is what we stand for, and you can see so much of that in Andrew’s work.”

For most visitors, the show offers a chance to examine the couture-level craftsmanship in Gn’s work. Season after season, his love of history, textiles, and the arts not to mention the porcelains, ceramics, and other decorative objects he collects and displays in his Paris homes crystallizes in a joyful cross-pollination of opulent brocades and jacquards, lavish prints, intricate embroideries and beadwork reprising, variously, graceful splays of coral, currents in art, heavenly bodies, and universal symbols such as a golden phoenix rising from its ashes.
