She began her career in Brussels then moved to Paris in the 70s and opened a boutique on the Place des Victoires. She first gained attention in 1977 with her loose, layered looks. In 1978, when the fashion world moved to the big padded shoulders that would characterize the eighties, Andrevie was one of the most extreme about it, being grouped at the time with Thierry Mugler, Claude Montana and Anne-Marie Beretta. She became known for her avant-garde work, daring cuts and layering. In 1978, the New York Times described her as one of the most experimental fashion designers of her time and in 1980 The San Francisco Examiner called her the “princess of new wave fashion”. Unfortunately, her death plunged her into oblivion. It is rare to find pieces from her short career!
