Singapore's Fashion Museum Highlights The Style and Culture of the Region

Kennie Ting and Jackie Yoong of Singapore's ACM share about growing into their de facto role as the city's cultural custodians of fashion.

. But for the past couple of years, the museum has been ramping up on a meatier fashion programme.

“Fashion isn’t new for us,” professes Kennie Ting. The director of the ACM and Peranakan Museum is the man behind the developmental shift in the ACM’s curatorial approach. One might add that it’s a necessary evolution of the museum’s given how the charting of history must encompass both past and present. Ting reasons that the ACM’s move into more contemporary design disciplines —fashion, jewellery and furniture — are “natural extensions” of the museum’s existing collections.

The expansion into the contemporary sphere is also aligned to state initiatives, namely the Singapore National Heritage Board’s “Our Singapore Heritage Plan 2.0” — a set of initiatives guiding the city-state’s cultural heritage and museum landscape for 2023 and beyond. Since the plan was rolled out, more than 160 pieces of Andrew Gn’s creations have been added to the National Collection.
