Andrew Gallivan has been a designer since he could wield a colored pencil. The Nashville native’s love of design led him to pursue sewing lessons in middle school and by the time he graduated highschool, he had created his first full collection, sewing each piece by hand, as he still does today.

Andrew prides himself on how his garments make the wearer feel. Part of this is being mindful of the consumption and waste inherent in the modern-day fashion industry. His business model of made-to-order and custom designs helps reduce his carbon footprint. He also prioritizes recycled and vintage fabrics, dead-stock fabrics, and all-natural, higher quality materials.  

Andrew’s designs have been featured in The New York Times and Vogue.com. His garments are all heart and hand-made, with the same craftsmanship he has employed since his first collection over a decade ago, including designs like his ground-breaking chain dress that have taken years to develop. His one-of-a-kind commissioned designs for events, performances, and weddings further exhibit his creative possibility and technical capacity.
