Majorcan-born designer Miguel Adrover was self-taught, but he captured the New Yorker's and the fashion world's imagination with his showmanship and talent.

After showing only three collections, he received two awards: Perry Ellis Award for Womenswear and VH1 Fashion Award.

Innovative and inventive, Miguel Adrover has deconstructed and reconstruced known brands like Louis Vuitton and Burberry in his shows.

He has also used an old mattress fabric to create clothes to die for.

His shows themes are socio-political with Spring 2000's "The Plight of the New York Homeless" and Fall 2000's "The American Way of Life."

Even with the socio-political tone on the runway, the clothes stand by themselves.

The slim tailoring, bias-cuts, intricate beading and fabric treatment show Miguel Adrover's understanding of the intricacies of the fabric itself.

He can identify with it, feel its history and create something new from something old.

Miguel Adrover's clever retrospective of fashion classics with a generous dash of his talent and sense of humour has captured the fashion world by storm.

In 2000, Miguel Adrover became a part of the stable of the now defunct Pegasus Group. When Pegasus closed its doors in Oct 2001, Miguel Adrover's label was one of the casualties.

His breakthrough Spring 2002 collection did not even reach production. Within a year, the designer has regrouped and came back triumphantly during the Spring 2003 season in New York.
