Singapore-born Paris- based designer Andrew Gn is known for his glorious colors and his exquisite couture detailing. He started as an assistant for Emanuel Ungaro and was chosen to be the artistic director of the house of Balmain ready-to-wear collection. He launch is own line six years ago and never looked back.

I absolutely loved his 2009 Spring collection. The vibrant colors: purple, turquoise, coral and teal were simply gorgeous. Some of the models wore beautiful embellish neckline and bib necklaces.

My only disappointment was with all the Indian inspired ethnic dresses; he didn't feature any African-American models. Our skin tone would have been incredible against those garments.

I am surprise not many celebrities wear Andrew Gn on the red carpet. I am hoping to see more of his wonderful designs on Kerry Washington or Gabrielle union real soon!
