Miguel Androver – born in 1965 on Majorca, Spain. Spanish fashion designer. In 1991, he moved to New York, where four years later, along with Douglas Hobbs, he established the fashion label Dugg. In 1999, Androver decided to create his own line of clothes for women. His 2000 fall collection “Midtown” drew the attention of the entire fashion industry, including Anna Wintour – editor in chief of the American “Vogue”. That year, Androver signed a contract with the fashion conglomerate Pegasus Apparel Group, and his clothes appeared in stores around the world. In 2000, he received the CFDA Perry Ellis award for Best Designer of the Year, as well as the American “Vogue” Award for Best Avant-garde Designer of the Year. After the September 11th attacks on WTC, Pegasus Apparel dissolved their contract with Androver. In 2004, he was invited to deliver a series of lectures at the Yale University, and the Helwan University in Cairo. He decided to move back to Majorca. Androver has created many visionary, innovative, and socially aware designs, which made their way into museum collections around the world – including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the Museo Reina Sofia in Madrid.
