d a prêt-à-porter collection for women and men that carried his name. Erotic clichés, narrow cuts, sexy hot pants, strong colors and fun jeans that gave wearer a bow-legged look were hallmarks of the collection. In 2005, he launched the super-niche brand Against My Killer, a collection that bears his initials and is produced now and co-owned by MODA ITALIA S.R.L. In 2007, the designer started a collaboration with the Einstein Prodotti & Progetti S.p.a, at the same time he presented at Copenhagen Fashion Week the documentary Bible Black, a fashion road movie of the last five days of frenzy leading to his spectacular come back-show after his absence from the runways of Milan for half a decade. Andrew Mackenzie carries an aura of authenticity and depth that is unmatched in fashion today. His work is a provocative vision of decadence, depravity, attitude,uninhibited sexuality and dark beauty.
