Andrew Christian: The "Panty-Christ"


It's not everyday that I get to meet the "Panty-Christ" at his multi-colored design studio...

Driven for success, Andrew started his sportswear line at the tender age of 19 but soon realized it wasn’t so easy. Perseverance through obstacles and patience helped to push him further with his cutting edge line while he defied those who would not take him seriously. Well, now, Andrew has a reason to show off his success. He can be seen as the “Panty-Christ” on Bravo’s new hit reality show, The Fashion Show premiering Thursday May 7th at 10pm where designers compete for a chance to have their designs sold in the retail market and a cash price of $125,000.

With an adoration for Karl Lagerfeld, a German born Chanel designer, for his prolific lifestyle image and Alexander McQueen for his strong conviction as a designer, Andrew strives for the same recognition in the fashion industry. Initially, his line featured men’s sports wear but was instantly revered for his innovative underwear line. He is the first to introduce Anti-Muffin Top Elastic in his underwear designs in order to reduce the appearance of love handles. Recently, Andrew incorporated a unique Dri-release fabric into his line that feels like cotton and keeps the wearer comfortable, dry and odor-free.

While women have their enhancement tricks, Andrew decided that men should have an enhancement option and that is just what he created: a brief that lifts and enhances a male’s best ‘ass’et with what he calls Flashback-Butt Lifting Technology where the underwear automatically lifts the buttocks making it look more firm and round. As an equal opportunity designer, he recently introduced a version of the Flashback for women called WonderWear.

Next on Andrew’s extensive list is his global promotional Meet & Greet campaign where he will connect his underwear and sportswear line with his fans whom he feels, have been his greatest support. With so much to look forward to, Andrew hopes to expand his brand, reach for new avenues and continue challenging himself in the fashion industry. His one-of-a-kind designs can be found in stores worldwide and most notably at Kitson, Patricia Fields and Fred Segal.
