Paul Andrew

A leading voice in the new generation of design talent, Paul Andrew cultivated his aesthetic and technical expertise alongside Donna Karan, Calvin Klein, Narciso Rodriguez and the late Alexander McQueen. Andrew launched his eponymous collection of women’s footwear in 2013, soon thereafter extended the line to include men’s footwear, and in 2014 became the first shoe designer and the youngest brand to win the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund.

In 2016, Salvatore Ferragamo appointed Andrew Design Director for women’s shoes, and one year later promoted him to Women’s Creative Director. Following the global success of his first collections, Andrew was named Creative Director of all Ferragamo product categories in 2019 – the first individual to assume this title since Salvatore Ferragamo himself helmed the brand.

Andrew exited his role at Ferragamo in May 2021 and relaunched his namesake brand a year later, which is today distributed globally through select retailers and specialty stores.

In July 2024 Andrew was named Creative Director for Sergio Rossi and debuted his collection for the house during Milano Fashion Week with a collection for Autumn/Winter 2025.

Andrew’s work is at once daring and pragmatic, balancing handmade craftsmanship with the latest material and technological innovations. His passionate work ethic, dedication to brand building and entrepreneurialism have earned him critical praise and commercial respect internationally.

In Andrew’s view, design must inspire and seduce and just as importantly function and endure. Fashion as an evidence and also a provocation of culture is what intrigues him, prompting him to seek out a future that is waiting to be imagined and created.
