Andres Biel,

one of SoHarlem’s Design Apprentices, launched IFLYUNIVERSE in 2020, as a reflection of “the unity of beauty from all walks of life.” Andres discovered his gift for drawing in high school, and quickly transitioned to design and sewing classes at the Henry Street Settlement with famed teacher, Ruth Taube. Andres also studied draping and sewing classes at Mood Fabrics.

Andres joined SoHarlem through his participation in Harlem Fashion Week where he participated in their educational workshops, and where he was the winner of the 2019 Emerging Designer Award. SoHarlem has supported Andres with crafting and preparing his new collections enabling him to continue “creating beautiful designs and giving people a sense of beauty.”
