Designer Andrew Christian

Andrew Christian (b. January 9, 1978 in Fresno, California) is a fashion designer. He became interested in fashion from an early age. Right after he graduated from high school, he moved to Los Angeles, California to begin working in the fashion world. Christian soon decided he didn't like working for everyone else. In 2001, after working for other designers, he began his own line, "Andrew Christian."

Today, Christian is known for his underwear and swimwear lines, although his regular lines include sporty inspired wear. He also just released an upscale line called "Black by Andrew Christian" which includes button downs and vests. Andrew Christian also has two eco-friendly lines called "Bamboo Fiber" and "Organic Cotton" as well as butt-lifting underwear for men and women, "Flashback" and "WonderWear" respectively. All Andrew Christian products are Made in USA.

[edit] Flashback

The Flashback is the top selling Andrew Christian product. The Flashback gives men that "bubble-butt" look without having to do any work. There is an invisible support seam built into the structure of the underwear that when a man puts it on, it lifts and rounds out the buttock.[1]

[edit] WonderWear

The WonderWear takes the same concept as the Flashback but creates it for a woman. The WonderWear consists of black lacy front and the back is black satin-like fabric that lifts and rounds out the female buttocks.[1]

[edit] Show It Technology

In Spring 2009, Andrew Christian introduced Show It Technology, underwear that enhances a man's genitalia area. The Show It Technology line features a comfy cup that 'gently lifts and supports your best assets' according to the Andrew Christian website. The Show It Technology line features briefs, boxers, jocks and swimwear.[1]

[edit] Almost Naked

Andrew Christian is also expanding his Almost Naked line, which is made from eco friendly bamboo. The line will now consist not only of underwear but will be expanded into shirts and tanks. The Almost Naked line features underwear that is ergonomically correct, meaning it prevents kinks or uncomfortable positions, according to the Andrew Christian website.

[edit] The Fashion Show

Andrew Christian took part in BRAVO's new fashion series The Fashion Show. Christian competed against other designers for $125,000 and a chance to have their designs sold at a national retailer. He won the third challenge, though eventually being eliminated and coming in eleventh place.[2]
