Biography

Unlike most fashion designers who start with a sketch, Andrew Majtenyi gets his inspiration from the textures, colour and feel of the fabric.

In addition to creating couture-inspired and modern sportswear collections for the sexy and bold woman, Andrew also designed for the film and television, and has has worked on numerous productions.

London was the obvious next step setting up a shop in Clerkenwell in 2009 and showing during London Fashion Week.

Andrew is one of the few designers who have had the opportunity to tour internationally, being a Guest Designer to Dubai, Prague, and Zagreb Fashion Weeks.

Over the years he learned about filmmaking, a skill he now uses to write and direct the film shorts that open his catwalk shows.

Andrew studied various aspects of Fashion Design, Colour Theory and Image Management at Niagara, Sheridan and George Brown Colleges in addition to London Central School of Fashion. Andrew is also a trained image consultant.

He apprenticed under master tailor Vincenzo Cardone in late 19th and 20th century tailoring, Madame Sophie who taught him advanced draping techniques, and honed his couture skills while working with the National Ballet of Canada under Oscar nominated and Tony award winner, Santo Loquasto. These theatrical influences are seen in the cut, fit and finishing of each piece.
