Andrew Gn: Fashioning Singapore and the World Talk SeriesANDREW GN: A PARISIENNE DESIGNER WITH AN AMERICAN SENSIBILITY Petra SlinkardThursday, 14 September 2023, 7–8pmDemonstration Room, basement level, Asian Civilisations MuseumFashion designer Andrew Gn once remarked, “London taught me to dream, Milan taught me about the industry, and New York taught me how to turn fashion into a business." Andrew’s formative experiences in the United States lead him to develop a deep respect for American style and sensibilities. While certainly a “more is more” personality, Gn nonetheless is perennially inspired by the classic, easy-to-wear shapes and silhouettes prevalent in American fashion. Join Fashion and Textile Curator Petra Slinkard as she talks about the influence the US fashion industry has had on the work of Andrew Gn, as well his continued impact on the American market.About the speakerPetra Slinkard joined the Peabody Essex Museum (PEM) in 2018, following her role as Curator of Costume at the Chicago History Museum, where she worked with a collection of more than 50,000 examples of fashion and textiles used in exhibitions, research, and community outreach. At PEM, Slinkard fosters the growth and inclusive spirit of the museum’s fashion collection to develop a vibrant array of exhibitions, installations, and programmes that celebrate the global impact of fashion and textiles. Slinkard oversees the museum’s newly opened Fashion and Design gallery and served as the co-curator of Made It: The Women Who Revolutionized Fashion, organised in association with the Kunstmuseum Den Haag. She recently coordinated the exhibition Patrick Kelly: Runway of Love at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
