Australian designer Andrew McDonald – Bespoke shoes and leather goods
Andrew McDonald is a craftsman. He is amongst a rare (and dying) breed of bespoke footwear and leather good makers who specialise in quality handmade goods. Andrew kindly caught up with Australian Fashion Review Blog for a few quick words (thanks to the girls at Agent 25 for getting in contact and organising it all). We particularly like his last honest comment – thanks Andrew! How did you get into bespoke shoe design? Where did it all begin for Andrew McDonald I met the shoemaker Paul Harnden when i was living in London and his business model became an initial inspiration to start my business. What can we expect from the label in the coming collections? More accessories and more experimentation with leather treatments techniques. What do you hope to accomplish with your fashion label? What is the dream!? To spend all my working hours designing and testing. Who are your favourite fashion designers and what about them inspires you? What else inspires you? Joe Banana’s – he has a store in the QVB building in Sydney. I love the fact that he can sell you a banana yellow suit jacket and a leopard print shirt off the rack. If you could pick someone famous that best represents your labels style, who would it be? Alternatively, what famous person/s would you want wearing your label? Stendahl Complete the following sentence: Andrew McDonald is unique because.. he is a complete slob. Click to view all Andrew McDonald footwear collections.
