Seeing as I just purchased my first pair of Paul Andrew shoes, I thought I'd start a thread for him...just in case I'm not the only PA fan!!
But first...a little bit about the man behind the magic! From the biography on his website...
"British-born, US-based footwear and accessory designer Paul Andrew announced his eponymous line of luxury womens shoes for Spring 2013. The important critical and commercial response to the collection has positioned Andrew as a rising creative force within the footwear industry. Long familiar with the rigor involved in designing and producing shoes for the worlds most discerning and fashionable consumers, Andrew cultivated his craft over fifteen years within iconic fashion houses such as Donna Karan, Calvin Klein, Alexander McQueen and Narciso Rodriguez. He envisions a style and sensibility for his namesake collection that is at once modern and glamorous, an aesthetic that is always sexy without severity. Supported by the finest manufacturing resources in Italy, Andrew combines impeccable materials and handmade craftsmanship with ingenuity and the latest technologies to maximize fit, comfort and performance. His is a singular, passionate approach to shoemaking.
