There seems to be a fascination here in Melbourne at least. You want to hear the reporters fawn about this guy

...
Moreover just about every report HAS to remind us that he is a Broadmeadows boy...this Western suburbs thing pops up ALL the time here and frankly it's getting mighty old with me (working class 'burbs and the West wants to keep trading on the label) . If he had been born and bred in Toorak (high end leafy suburb) I doubt he would have been labelled such a celebrity.
As for him...I think cutting edge designers like Jean Paul Gaultier will continue to love him for a while yet...the shock value is a great platform.
Gaultier should team Andrej with the Lady Gaga on the catwalk
