History
Andy Perl & Evan Hakalir both worked at hedge funds until they lost their jobs in the great recession of 2008. It was then that they decided to start Andy & Evan, for which Perl's toddler son was the company's spokesmodel and inspiration.[4]
Andy & Evan began in the men's custom shirt business,[5] but switched to fashion-forward children's clothing after noticing a void in the market for the right kind of product.[6][7]
Evan Hakalir was appointed President & CEO as of January, 1st 2018.[8]
