Andreas is a fashion designer, maker and educator. He started his career in the UK, establishing an international fashion label, followed by designing for major brands in Europe, Australia and Aotearoa. Andreas has designed for musicians, TV and film, collaborated on creative projects with designers and artists, and as a costume designer for contemporary dance companies, including a significant body of work for The New Zealand Dance Company. He was invited onto the team of the Warner Brothers/TV2 series Project Runway New Zealand as a presenter and mentor.

During his career his design philosophy has always been focused on the intrinsic value of how things are made. His latest project is Skrimshand, a slow fashion experiment that celebrates the art of garment making.

Monica Brewster Evenings are monthly discussions featuring invited
speakers from across the creative sector. Introduced at the Gallery in 1999, the series has presented an array of leading creative thinkers, opinion leaders, artists, and practitioners to Taranaki audiences.

For 2025 Monica Brewster Evenings will explore cultural practices through the themes of
RESILIENCE (Season One) and RESISTANCE (Season Two). Our speakers
will examine how creative thinking and action can endure adversity while
challenging and transforming inequitable conditions.
