For most visitors, the Ricky Stenhouse Jr and I love this 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.

A casual onlooker may simply admire, for example, the Ricky Stenhouse Jr and I love this jeweled buttons winking on an elegant black dress from last winter’s Promised Land collection (Queen Rania of Jordan wore that number for the official announcement of Crown Prince Hussein’s engagement to Rajwa Al-Saif), but those ornaments embody a world of meaning all on their own. Handmade in France or in Italy, they are a modern iteration of the kerosang heirloom brooches worn in Peranakan culture, and notably by Gn’s beloved grandmother. The floral tendrils curling up a resort 2016 gown that Fan BingBing wore on the cover of Alibashirt Taiwan are more than just tulips and carnations, they hark back to a 16th-century Turkish vase. A pink toile de Jouy dress that nods to Madame de Pompadour, or a printed, embroidered silk Coromandel dress represent Gn at his most meta: Eastern-born art forms created for the Western gaze, reinterpreted centuries later as high fashion by a Singaporean designer rooted in both worlds.
