Jeff Andrews had never seen "Keeping Up with the Kardashians Khloe" Kardashian when she called me and asked: Would Mediterranean decorating your home?
To prepare for this meeting for the first time two years ago, Andrews has E! and by the grace of the gods of reality television has found a repeat episode by saying marriage Khloe Lakers Lamar Odom. Task complete, Andrews got the job as interior designer for young Kardashian sister. And then her sister Kourtney. And perhaps most importantly, Kris Jenner, manager of the Empire Kardashian matriarch who, Twitter, to follow or not, remains an undeniable phenomenon.
When the sixth season of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" premiere on Sunday, the work of Andrews was present in almost every scene takes place on the ground floor (all 6000 square feet of it) Jenner Calabasas house redecorated. The first phase of reform involves a form of living, dining, lounge, offices, a suite, a room of real black and white and where the drama also Kardashian, the kitchen. After the facelift, the room is bright white in the white room with a maximum age of islands in the rear mirror and dual illuminated by Murano glass chandeliers mail. In the dark, like tonight, the bathroom - The dotted with Swarovski crystals on the ceiling like stars - toilet paper, no black points.
The decor may be higher in the drama and the tears of a close, but not Andrews. The designer, 47, has proven to be a soft-spoken, shy guy to the limit, leaving a career as a choreographer for 11 years to start building a business slowly with most non-Hollywood types. Although "Dexter" star Michael C. Hall as a former client and said he worked for America Ferrera, "Ugly Betty" fame "in a minute, has not established its base in Beverly Hills and Bel-Air, but in Mount Washington, Calabasas scroll zone four or five times week (sometimes on weekends too) to manage projects in the three houses Kardashian.
Perhaps most telling, even if their clients are people for whom life seems not worth living unless you lived in the camera, Andrews did not appear in the program. "Okay," he said. "I do not need to play and waving his arms."
It is ironic, given that Andrews is counted as a story worthy of Hollywood. Five years ago, his best friend works as a wardrobe stylist for Ryan Seacrest on E! The "American Idol" host was looking for an interior designer. Thanks to friend, Andrews has a meeting - and possibly the work of decorating the house in Hollywood Hills Seacrest.
Seacrest, as luck would have it, was also co-produced the Kardashians "show. As the sisters Kardashian, Kris Jenner Bruce Jenner and her husband are regular customers who asked about the designer Seacrest, one thing led to another.
Andrews is set to design challenges of primary and secondary, Kris Jenner, this morning during the week, dressed from head to toe in a black cloak dotted with gold.
"Today, someone asked me if I wanted a chip on a particular side of the network," he said. "I do not know. I'm the kind of person who really needs someone on the site. What attracted me to Jeff. I do not want anyone to furniture and not be here. "
Andrews said tight deadlines and the demands of rapid-fire function Jenner a diva without attitude. "I always found a box of Krispy Kremes and always has a very high level of respect for what we do," he said, referring not only himself but also his three full-time employees.
Designer and client to make a strange pair of high performance. Jenner speaks passionately declarative curves and radical design of the drama. Andrews is the assistant of caution, quietly adding touches of carbon to the trend of clients looking for extreme black and white.
"Jeff is a little dramatic, more than one observer," Samantha said Nestor, a former editor of Metropolitan Home magazine and now a partner in a design and marketing arts Andrews hired to decorate a concert hall in New York Showtime. "It's part of what makes it so enjoyable. There is nothing aggressive about it, except for your project. "
Because Andrews has worked as a choreographer with names like Madonna, "is not so dazzled he was in the design world," said Nestor. "You see celebrities as people. There is no false sense of what they are."
Raj Kapoor Andrews recalls the meeting in a hearing in which hundreds of dancers audition for the choreographer, then. It has always been a "cool factor" of how he lived Andrews, said Kapoor, who is an advertising agency and production that take place on "American Idol" summer tour.
