Andrew Gn Collection

Andrew Gn RTW Spring 2009
Recession talk and money woes, be damned. Angrew Gn’s girls always want to live the luxe life. So Gn saw fit to launch an Atelier label of couture-level clothes for spring. That may sound redundant to those familiar with Gn’s already opulent oeuvre. Case in point: this season’s violet silk crepe suit from the regular collection that’s embroidered with sizable amethysts at the neckline. So just imagine how over-the-top this new line is, with Gn envisioning his muse, the legendary Helena Rubinstein, and her jewels on a jaunt to India. (Read: lots of tony boho flourish.) For both collections, Gn kept the silhouettes fairly streamlined and simple, using them as chic canvases for his pile-on embellishments: pretty passementerie and hand-enameled metal embroideries on jersey tunics, blouses and brocade coats. He went more sumptuous, with Atelier, where he lavished his clothes with semi-precious turquoise, lapis lazuli and topaz. There were a few cleaned-up ladylike looks, such as the opening white linen coatdress, but this is a collection tailor-made for dames well worth their weight in gold — and fantastic gemstones.
