| Andrew Gn was born in Singapore in 1966, the youngest of three brothers and two sisters.
In 1986, Andrew enrolled in the renowned Saint Martins Schools of Art in London. While majoring in Fashion Design at Saint Martins, Andrew won the French Connection Award, sponsored by the English/French Chamber of Commerce, which was open to all the fashion colleges in the United Kingdom. Andrew also participated in the Design Exchange programme at Parsons School of Design for a term. He returned to Saint Martins to complete his Bachelor of Art degree in December 1989.
The following year, Andrew moved to Milan to attend the prestigious Domus Academy. There his professors included Romeo Gigli, Luciano Soprani, Anna Piaggi and Gianfranco Ferre. While studying, he freelanced for Ratti, a textile company, and for the fashion house Basile. After receiving his Masters of Art in 1992, Andrew accepted the offer to assist Emanuel Ungaro in Paris.
In 1996, Andrew decided it was time to strike out on his own, launching the ANDREW GN collection which is mainly manufactured in France.
?This collection is all about the engineering of the garments, seaming, shapes and exploring different grains of fabrics. Built-in details maximize the comfort of the garments, for example most jackets and coats are created without fusing for a ?cardigan? finish.
My clothes are designed for a woman who appreciates quality and ?inner luxury?, and understands refined hand-crafted details. Following the success of last season?s debut, the Atelier line continues to fulfill the demands of a growing audience.
