Thank you so much for visiting!
My name is Andrew MacLaine and currently I live in Palm Springs, California. I have enjoyed making clothing ever since I took my first costume construction class in college years ago. It came as a great surprise to discover that I was actually pretty good at it! Since then, I have studied fashion and theatrical clothing design, pattern drafting, fashion history, and wig design.
As time has gone on, I have worked as a costumer and designer with varying frequency. However, a few years ago, I began making clothing for a friend of mine, just for fun, and began to rediscover my passion for creating modern clothing with show-like flavor. I noticed that a lot of people were impressed by my work, but I wasn't sure if I had a "signature style." It wasn't until another friend of mine pointed out, "What do you mean you don't have a style? All your clothes are inspired by old TV shows! You made an "I Love Lucy" cheetah print dress! You made a Patty Duke dress! THAT'S your style!!"
She was right!
I LOVE classic TV shows. I always have. Growing up, I loved especially watching shows that were technically "before my time." They were and are so dear to my heart, and thinking of them makes me happy. So, I thought to myself, why don't I create a signature line inspired by what particular characters might wear today, while still staying true to their respective shows and time periods?
