In an exclusive styling workshop held at Gucci’s opulent duplex in Paragon, Tatler Singapore’s Adriel Chiun introduced a discerning audience to Collezione Esclusiva—a made-to-measure universe where every garment is singular, storied, and stitched by hand in Milan
In a quiet corner of the fashion world where discretion meets distinction, an intimate Gucci styling workshop was held within the maison’s impressive duplex at Paragon. Helmed by Tatler Singapore’s resident fashion monster Adriel Chiun, the event unveiled Gucci’s most exclusive offering: the Collezione Esclusiva. This rarefied made-to-measure collection is not for every eye—each garment is a bespoke expression of the wearer, tailored with precision and reverence by hand in Milan.
A select group of the Tatler community were given a crash course as they were guided through Gucci’s haute sartorial journey that begins with a toile fitting—right here in Singapore—before the client’s measurements are immortalised in a custom bodice, stored permanently in the archives of Gucci’s Milanese atelier.

During the session, an enviable wardrobe of singular pieces was on show: made-to-measure (MTM), made-to-order (MTO), and Unicum—a term reserved for creations that exist as the only one of their kind in the world—that evening.

Chiun, in his signature sharp eloquence, introduced standout pieces such as a chandelier crystal coat and an organza macramé ensemble—techniques exclusive to Gucci. The collection weaves together storytelling and craftsmanship: daisies rendered in labour-intensive sequin embroidery symbolising renewal; cage embroideries stitched by hand over 20 painstaking weeks; and laser-cut organza sculpted into architectural precision.

There was a reverence too for the house's mastery of exotic skins—crocodile, porosus, niloticus—used sparingly to shape silhouettes like the iconic Jackie and Bamboo bags, which the former requires four crocodiles and six months to complete. These are not fashion statements, but heirlooms in the making.

Artisanal experts from around the world—Gianna Trivento from Milan and Ken Suda from Japan—lent their expertise and presence, offering insights into the touch, feel, and emotion behind each creation. The collection, guests learned, is perfect for the social season, travelling with the wearer, adapting across spring and summer with its timeless daisy motifs and 1950s silhouettes.
In an age of overexposure, Gucci’s Collezione Esclusiva, presented in such rarefied surroundings, reminds us that true luxury lies not in being seen—but in being understood.
