Fashion designer and owner of Any Old Iron, the city’s most glamorous clothing line, Andrew Clancey, joins our host, Lily, this week on Nashville Conversations.
Together, the two walk through the British-born designer’s wild punk rock background, which led him to leap from the UK to NYC to Nashville, where he now owns a sequin-infused shop with his partner and fellow designer Laura Citron. Together, the two have dominated the local fashion scene with their flashy, eye-catching, and attention-grabbing clothes. Any Old Iron is in no way, shape, or form for wallflowers but rather for folks like Clancey who are unafraid to be themselves and stand out in a crowd.
Together, Lily and Andrew discuss their mutual love for all things fashion, their passion for punk rock culture, and why the music and attitude continuously influence them. They also explore how their hustle has gotten them where they are today and how fashion is influenced by and connected to music. What better place for the two fields of art to come together than Nashville? This perfect merging of art forms is why Clancey has stayed on top for the last ten years designing for the likes of Beyoncé, Miranda Lambert, and Taylor Swift.
