Paul Andrew, the previous creative director at Salvatore Ferragamo, reveals his comeback collection
When the English-born, New York–based designer Paul Andrew was made creative director at Salvatore Ferragamo in 2019—a promotion from his previous three years’ responsibilities there—he elected to shutter his eponymous shoe brand whose buzz had attracted the historic Italian house in the first place. He has launched Paul Andrew in 2012, and in 2014 became the first footwear designer to win the CFDA/Now Paul Andrew the man and Paul Andrew the brand are back in New York.
The result is a concise collection of sleekly structural footwear. It reflects Andrew’s minimalist modernist sensibility and explores the discourse between tech and craft that comes naturally to him: His mother worked in the computer industry and his father was a furniture restorer to the British royal family. Of the pieces, Andrew said: “They’re not exactly party shoes, but they are shoes you’d want to go out in.
Only one design, said the designer, is revived from Paul Andrew’s first period of operation. “Or at least it’s the one style that is sort of similar. It’s a peep-toe mule that Lauren Santo Domingo, who used to be a great customer and friend of the brand, had like 10 of in different colors,” said Andrew. “And every time she’d wear them, we’d get messages asking us for them—so I thought that was definitely worth reviving.
