Andre No.1, a brand established by Kazanchyan in Los Angeles, specializes in custom-made shoes and has a huge celebrity clientele.
“When something is store bought, it’s kind of big all over to fit a lot of people,” says Kazanchyan.
“But when something is tailored to you, then it feels like a glove, a sock kind of fitted exactly to you.”
