HUBIN : You started
to sketch fashion
illustrations at age
13, what inspired your
first few sketches?
ANDIE : Barbie; I loved
Barbie too much that I
would do illustrations
by copying her gowns
on paper. The vintage/
collector’s items that
I saw in catalogues
were the ones I drew;
they were just so
pretty and princesslike, naturally I grew
very fond of them
because I was a young
girl who loved flowers
and pink.
I began sketching
from my own mind two
years later, when
my friends in St.
Scho and I had this
imaginary story book of
ourselves as characters
with different
personalities- it was
exciting to illustrate
the glamorous girl, the
emo kid, the sporty
chic , the preppy one,
the girly girl… etc !
etc! My sketches seemed
like the bomb then, now
they just look like
stick figures. haha
H : Have you always
considered pursuing
fashion as a career?
A : Not quite. I
wanted to be a vet,
or be into Culinary.
Even in the middle
of studying Fashion
Design, I just wanted
to be a photographer
and write about Music &
Local Bands that I even
managed a few artists
for a while.
