British-born, US-based footwear and accessory designer Paul Andrew
announced his eponymous line of luxury women’s shoes for Spring 2013.
The critical and commercial response to the collection has positioned
Andrew as a rising creative force within the footwear industry.
Paul Andrew began his career as an honors graduate from England’s
Berkshire College of Art & Design in 1999, winning the Draper’s Records
‘Student Footwear Designer of the Year’ award for his graduation shoe
collection. He apprenticed at Alexander McQueen in London before
moving to New York to launch Narciso Rodriguez’s shoe and accessory line.

PAUL ANDREW
He spent years designing men’s and women’s shoes for Calvin Klein Collection
until the iconic designer’s retirement, at which time he embarked upon what would
be a decade-long career as the head of shoe and accessory design for Donna Karan
Collection. These legendary designers trusted Andrew to create extraordinary work on
their behalf - and season after season he exceeded all expectations. It is from these
formative experiences that Andrew learned the foundations of the accessories business.
The combination of his impeccable training and his limitless talent and creativity has
proved to be a winning combination for the Paul Andrew brand.
Paul Andrew has been honored with several awards since launching his brand including
“Accessories Designer of the Year” for the 2013 edition of “Who’s on Next?”, the 2013 “Launch of
the Year” by Fairchild Publications and Footwear News, and the top honors of the 2014 CFDA/
Vogue Fashion Fund. In 2016, Andrew was awarded the CFDA Swarovski Award for Accessory
Design.
In February 2016, Paul Andrew launched his eponymous men’s collection to critical and
commercial success.
