With his father read screenplays, plays (there were always plenty of them at home) and staged home performances. For such home plays Dmitry Andreev created costumes, for them were “sacrificed” his mother’s and grandmother’s dresses.

After school, he went to school theater club. His roles were noble – princes and kings. And he was the only boy among girls actresses. And again they needed the suits. Now Dmitry Andreev created costumes both for himself and his partners. Thus started his career of a costume designer.
