New York-based shoe designer Paul Andrew already has a signature pump (the Zenadia), a CFDA Vogue/Fashion Fund Award, a high-end collection sold at Neiman Marcus and Net-a-porter, and a capsule with J.Crew. In the three years since launching his namesake brand, he’s more than hit his stride.
But when it comes to the red carpet, he’s still learning, which is why he brought his collection to Los Angeles for the first time last week, to meet with the gatekeepers to glamour, celebrity stylists.
“[The red carpet] is a totally different formula than editorial,” the designer said over lunch at the Palihouse.
