Spanish native Miguel Adrover came to New York in the early nineties, and within
a few years - and with no formal training -- became one of the
foremost designers on the avant-garde scene. In 1995, he and
Native American tailor Douglas Hobbs opened up an East Village
store, Horn, in which they sold both their own line, called
Dugg, and the work of other cutting-edge designers like Alexander
McQueen. Adrover's first and second solo shows, "Manaus-Chiapas-NYC"
and "Midtown," garnered widespread critical acclaim. His clean,
prim lines and innovative sense of color, not to mention his
groundbreaking deconstruction of the Burberry jacket, earned
him a reputation as an artist among designers. In 2000, he was
awarded the CFDA Perry Ellis best new designer award, and was
nominated for best avant-garde designer of the year at the Vogue
Fashion Awards.
