André 3000

André’s tailoring can be colourful, scholarly and mischievous at once. His Benjamin Bixby work drew on old sporting and collegiate references, bringing cricket sweaters, bold checks and wide denim into a wardrobe informed by his own interests. His later return to designing clothes makes that history more revealing than a single extravagant outfit. Follow the combinations of texture and proportion, especially how an apparently traditional garment becomes personal through what accompanies it. The maker and wearer are closely connected here.
