André Shirley leads the final walk down the runway |
Fashion Line: Anarcy
By: André Shirley
From: Kingston, Jamaica
Designing Since: 2006
Male and female Anarcy designs |
Rêve: Why did you start Anarcy?
André: Having a small build, I couldn't get clothes to fit my body size. Plus, it was always an intention from a younger age. Still, I designed womenswear for sale first but only designed men's clothes for myself.
André Shirley, Owner and Designer at Anarcy |
Rêve: So you started Anarcy in 2006. How has the ride as a Jamaican business owner been so far?
André: It's been good. Each year the designs and the line's popularity grows. I keep learning new techniques plus last year I premiered my menswear collection at Style Week Jamaica 2012.

Rêve: Congratulations! So, what inspires your designs?
André: My mood, trying new techniques, people I socialise with, and even my clients inspire my designs. I think the main thing though, is the economical climate... I do't want to overprice and not be able to reach my clients.
