He creates clothes, which become the object of admiration and desire of fashionmongers of different age - from first-form girls to their grand grandmothers. ….The history of the first collection creation will stay in the memory of Andre Tan for all his life. “I was penniless, the models I knew agreed to buy cloth for their own money, to walk the runway, and I, in my turn, gave them the best dresses” – recalls the designer. Later Tan won a large amount of awards, the one of them – Grand Prix in the contest “10 õ 10” – he got from the hands of Paco Rabanne.
