Luxewear that is Albert Andrada



His amazing show of world-class brilliance and bravura, unfettered by conventions and logistical limitations has definitely caught the attention of style pundits in Manila.

Albert Andrada has been living a charmed life for the last nine years.  As head fashion designer for the Royal Family of Fujairah and a trusted member of the Royal Household, the designer’s life is cloaked in grandiosity like nobody else can imagine.
Luxe wear, as he would later describe his creations. In the mid 80's Andrada was an OFW in Al-Khobar Saudi Arabia designing graduation gowns, uniforms (corporate), RTW and of course, couture.





Albert Andrada's life of privilege and luxury working as one of three Filipino designers for the ruling royal family of Fujeirah, one of the seven kingdoms of the United Arab Emirates. Travelling with a private plane, staying in five-, six-star hotels, eating in the best restaurants and shopping in the most high-end boutiques and specialty stores was simply amazing.The designer has been working in the Middle East since 1986 and in 2002, won the Designer of the Year Award at the Swarovski Bridal Show in Dubai


Andrada says his styles are are very unpredictable and spontaneous. They change from season to season. Utmost concern is ease and wearability without compromising elegance of the human form. Opulence in details (or in local parlance being meticuloso) is the frame of reference in each Andrada creation, which is very evident in my needlework, embellishment and embroidery.
