Style: Mickey Hybrids at Andrea Crews
- story THE FADER
If we could trade workspaces with anyone right now, it would probably be Andrea Crews. Being surrounded by mounds of vintage sweaters, pants and miscellaneous ’80s ra-ra skirts in a huge airy gallery space in Paris would probably be pretty sweet. The latest Crews project probably involved a lot of sifting through those very clothing mountains in search of perfectly worn-in Mickey Mouse tees (Minnie’s polka dots makes a cameo appearance but the pieces are predominately Mickey heavy). Besides the mouse cut-n-pastage, we also noticed a very fetching pair of polka dot cheerleader-inspired Air Force 1s on their output list.
Stylee Fridays: Maroussia of Andrea Crews

We thought for the longest that French art/music/fashion collective Andrea Crews was maybe also a real-life person too. We imagined her sashaying around her studio amidst piles of vintage clothing, sifting through armfuls of ’90s neon goodies with her minions to the tune of of raspy Gauloises-enhanced laughter.
The actual founder of the collective goes by the name Maroussia Rebecq and paid us a visit earlier this month all the way from France — almost as good as a date with our fictional lady.
Video: New Jersey And Paris, Together Again
- story THE FADER
When we were in high school our math teachers didn’t know anything about math because they were really water polo coaches and our english teachers were really german professors but the kids at Newark, New Jersey’s Arts High School got real with Parisian art/fashion collective Andrea Crews. AC’s art director Maroussia Rebecq taught them to make insane sculpture ensembles out of second hand clothing and this is a (err, crappy ) video of the process, which mostly shows the kids playing musical chairs, spinning into a psychedelic fairy tale of rainbow sucking goblins, and having no sense of adult remorse, which, unfortunately, we have now that we’re older.
