In the spring of 2018, the brilliance of Paris-based couture designer Andrew Gn overwhelmed the cold expanse of Yaletown’s Leisure Center. In Vancouver, for a private and very exclusive Trunk Show, Gn arrived with over 150 pieces from his 2018 Collections including Spring/Summer, Pre-Fall, Fall/Winter, and once the scene had been set, he relaxed with a hot tea and awaited his clients.

With ‘May there be light,’ his SS2021 Collection, Gn is connecting with his fanbase on a different level. Forced by a pandemic to step-away from his usual hands-on approach to couture, Gn embraced the challenge of creating for a woman who is seeking less event-driven glamour and a more wearable style.




Of the pandemic design process, Gn shared: “Like so many, during lockdown, I was reassessing my purpose and my work—there’s so much energy that goes into handling uncertainties, and that’s even before you start designing the clothes.”

With ‘May there be light’ Gn masterfully continues his intense love affair with colour, patterns, and metallics. Given the thirst for his work, it is conceivable, that Gn will be held to a lifetime of bringing forth such divinity for his audience to consume.

“Beauty is such an important thing in life. If you don’t see beauty, you don’t see the future.”
