Career

Aadnevik established his own label in 2004[1] and he presented his first collection the same year at London Fashion Week.[1] Apart from his epinonimous label he has collaborated and designed collections for several international brands including Charles Jourdan Paris for Japan,[4] Harrods International[5] as well as held a position as a senior designer at Roberto Cavalli.[6]

In 2007 Aadnevik was chosen as one of five designers in "The Protégé Project", an initiative of Australian Wool Innovation,[6] which resulted in Donatella Versace selecting him as a protégé.[7] In line with this he showcased his F/W 2008 collection at Milan Fashion Week where his collection was met with critical acclaim and Style.com named him one of autumn 2008's most promising new talents.

Aadnevik has dressed several celebrities, some of them include Beyoncé, Nicole Scherzinger,[8] Selena Gomez,[9] Kelly Rowland,[10] Cheryl Cole,[11] Britney Spears,[12] Rihanna,[13] Pixie Lott,[14] Daisy Lowe and Dita Von Teese.[15] British Musician Estelle also wore one of his creations in the music video for her single "American Boy".[16]
