Before being Alexander McQueen's head assistant, I spent time in 1996, and later on under the name 'Jimmy Jumble'. He graduated from Central Saint Martins' MA Fashion Design course in 1997 and established his company, Andrew Groves, which was on display at London Fashion Week from 1997 to 2000. He attracted people's attention and raised his notoriety thanks to his confrontational themes of his collections at London Fashion Week. Ourselves Alone," his first scheduled display at LFW in February 1998, was titled "Weselves Alone" (translated from Gaelic "Sinn Féin") and referred to The Troubles in Ireland, combining the colors of the competing groups of Irish unionists and Irish republicans. The models wore orange sashes, grey suits, and charred green taffeta, with one model setting herself on fire during the exhibition. Crucifixes that were not on display were 30-foot burning crucifixes.
In September 1998, he appeared in "Cocaine Nights," a term coined after J.G. The models were strolled on a catwalk sprinkled with sugar-like cocaine, with a model dressed in razor blades, and also inspired by the film Face/Off. Bill Clinton, then President of the United States, had slammed the fashion industry for glamorizing opioid use, so this was seen as a deliberate provocation.
Groves created costumes for Robbie Williams, Kylie Minogue, Suede, and The Spice Girls in addition to his runway collections. He has worked as a freelance fashion design consultant for fashion design firms in the United Kingdom and Japan, as well as as a design consultant for firms such as Nokia, Wedgwood, and The Coca Cola Company.
The Victoria & Albert Museum's Textiles and Fashion collection, as well as the Fashion Museum in Bath, have examples of Groves designs on display.
