Andrea Crews

Andrea Crews was a fashion group started in the 2000s by a group of artists to promote sustainability and upcycling. The founder, Maroussia Rebecq, united artists, fashion designers, muses and photographers to create the brand. In an interview with Metal Magazine, Rebecq stated: "I [want] to revolutionize fashion codes! Andrea Crews was like a creative and free space in motion — a magnet for artists."

The motto for Andrea Crews is "Fashion, Art, Activism". Rebecq stresses that the Andrea Crews lifestyle merges these three notions. "The way we dress and the way we represent ourselves is a strong message that we are supporting and communicating to the world. We are our lives’ actors. The idea behind ‘Fashion, Art, Activism’ was to revolutionise the existing mainstream codes by using art and experimentation."

In the future, you can expect Andrea Crews to promote more upcycling and many more collaborations. Stop by its workshop in the Marais to drop off a piece of clothing to have it made into something new.
