Andrea Hutchinson, Fashfest Andrea was raised in Bern, Switzerland. She has always had a globally focused and creative mind. Andrea's interest in fashion was sparked early when she became a model at the age of 16. During that time, she realised her real passion lay in the fashion industry. As a model, Andrea had access to the ins-and-outs of fashion shows, learning how these complex events were pulled together. To Andrea, fashion became so much more than designer clothing, it transformed to be about the buzz and the reality that fashion is so much more than what ended up on a catwalk. Today Andrea owns and directs HAUS Models, a unique Canberra modelling agency that focuses on cultivating and supporting local talent. Andrea is immersed in bringing fashion to life. As a founding partner and managing director of FASHFEST, Canberra's biggest red-carpet fashion event, Andrea applies her strong people skills and ability to communicate with all aspects of the creative industry, and her ability to quickly form close relationships with backstage people, models and designers. 2017 will be an exciting year for Andrea and her husband Clint, whith whom she founded both FASHFEST and HAUS Models. This dynamic couple will be focusing full-time on both businesses, as well as several other creative ideas now in development. This includes the formal launch of a creative hub for Canberra NOMI, the Hutchinson's new kid's fashion label. |
