Interview with Charles Andrews

In my opinion, Charles Andrews is definitely an up and comer in the industry. With an expansive collection and a great feel for fashion, you can expect to hear from him for many years to come. I recently had a chance to interview Mr. Andrews aka "The Couture Divo" and learned a little bit about the man behind the designs:

Me: What made you want to get into fashion design?

C.A: I always loved fashion. My mother sews, she was a big inspiration for me.

Me: What is your favorite style?

C.A: My favorite style is couture, because it's fashion you dont see everyday. Its very fashion forward.

Me: What is your ultimate goal?

C.A: My ultimate goal would be to become the next Valentino.

Me: Wow, an ambitious goal indeed! Who are your favorite designers?

C.A: My favorite designers are of course Valentino, Alexander McQueen, New Directions, and I really like Prada.

Me: What challenges do you face being a designer in Montgomery, Alabama?

C.A: Montgomery is a low fashion market compared to NY and LA. It's harder to be appreciated...

Me: Very true indeed. With that being said, do you have any advice?

C.A: "If you are really passionate about something, stick with it to the end"

Me: Great advice indeed, Mr. Andrews. Thanks for your time.


Charles Andrews can be seen as early as July here in Montgomery showing his collection in one of our fashion shows and as far away as New York in August. It will be a busy summer for him, which is always a good thing. You can find Charles Andrews and see some of his collection at his website here
