Andy created his own wardrobe when he was 17 in college. He dropped out of college to pursue his dream; ???Creating Beautiful Clothing. I always want to express myself thru fashion; to be able to evolve thru time yet still keeping my own identity. I want mostly to create a style, a signature rather than a fashion statement.???
