How much room do you have in your jeans? Good question... Right? Well Manivanh Chanprasith has the answer along with more insider information on her hot new male and female jean line released right before 2008
What is the name of your line? Andrea Chan Denim also known as AD for MEN
What has been your biggest influence behind your line? New York City. The fashion capital of the world has so many muses. Jeans can be worn with anything and everything. I want to incorporate street wear and city chic into a pair of jeans for the casual to the sophisticated individual.
Why did you decide to start with jeans? Jeans are classic. Everywhere you look on every corner of the globe, someone has on a pair of jeans. Jeans are the common denominator. You can never go wrong with jeans.
Will there be other things that we can expect from the line? Definitely. We are a bubble waiting to burst with much more to come. But right now, our main focus is jeans, jeans with a twist!
What has been your largest challenge in designing so far? This whole ride has been a challenge. I've been designing jeans for the past 3 years, but fashion has been my passion since forever. And everything from designing to fashion shows to the business aspects has been a new adventure every time.
Did you attend fashion school? No. You can't get creativity and imagination from a classroom.. not to say that fashion and design schools are not producing the most creative and imaginative designers out there. I just started designing before I realized that I didn't go to a fashion school.
Where do you see your line in 5 years? I want to go global. I want to create a style that reaches people all over.
