Friday 2nd March 2012, from 5.00pm to 7.00pm, 29 rue Notre Dame De Nazareth 75003.

American born, London based womenswear designer Adam Andrascik came to prominence with his Central St. Martins MA Autumn Winter 2010 collection of modern, minimal garments with an emphasis on subtle deconstruction.

Autumn Winter 2012 began with an in depth look at the artist Lucio Fontana and his Tagli (slashed) canvas paintings, developing into a textile technique that informed the detailing and silhouette of the collection.With a mix of oversized, fused merino wool coats and streamlined dresses in bonded double georgette and wool crepe, the collection is a study on mixing classic textiles with state of the art finishing techniques.

In it’s February issue, the magazine Dazed and Confused featured the label in its Incoming section as a “favourite.”

Adam Andrascik is currently stocked in the UK at Selfridges flagship and The Convenience Store.
