Albert Andrada
Before becoming famous in the Philippines, Andrada had a prosperous career in the Middle East, where he was a favorite designer of the royal families of Arab countries. Albert is a clothes designer who caters to the most privileged of the most privileged clients. His client list includes Arab royals, as well as Paris Hilton, Teen Queen Kathryn Bernardo, and his most prominent muse to date, beauty queen Pia Wurtzbach. Miss Wurtzbach earned the highly sought title of Miss Universe while wearing an exquisite gown that the designer had created. Albert Andrada gave the barongs worn by ASEAN leaders and discussion partners during the 31st ASEAN Summit a touch of Filipino flair with the designs he created for them.

In the Philippines, the "Barong Tagalog" is without a doubt the most appropriate attire for formal occasions. Andrada's designs were customized and matched characteristics of global leaders that are also associated with Filipino ideals. These characteristics include "Makatao," which means "humanitarian," "Matipuno," which means "robust," and "Maharlika" (freeman). Not only the spouses of ASEAN leaders get to show off Andrada's one-of-a-kind creations, but anybody who wears them.

Journey
When Albert left the Philippines for the Middle East in 1986, he did so against the wishes of his parents. He wanted to test how far he could push his talent outside of his comfort zone and went out on his own to do so. It may be said that he lived at the same time as Frederick Peralta and Eddie Badeo. His father, who brought him up in a prosperous Puerto Rican family, had the assumption that his son would not be able to flourish in an environment that lacked the support system that he had been provided with at home. The good news is that Albert's prediction did not come true, and despite the challenges he faced when beginning a new profession as a designer in the area, he always maintained that moving was the best thing he had done for himself and his designing career in general. The bad news is that Albert's prediction did not come true. Albert, who is well-known in the local fashion community for his extraordinary generosity and compassion, has managed to remain grounded despite his exposure to such luxury, his influence, and the freedoms he's been granted. This is due to the fact that Albert is known for his extraordinary generosity and compassion.

In 2010, Albert made his debut in the Philippine fashion industry with the presentation of a mini-collection called "Kohinoor '' during Philippine Fashion Week (PFW). This marked his entry into the local fashion industry. The elaborate and pricey outfits were embellished with crystals and mirror work in nude tulle, silks, and satins, synthetic hair, gorgeous stitching, and draping that were inspired by the exotic aesthetics of Indian Maharajas. And my, what a way to make your debut! Fashion bloggers and critics characterized the presentation as "jaw-dropping," "spell-binding," "dramatic," and "opulent." This further sparked Manila's curiosity in the type of haute couture that could only be produced by Filipino designers working in the Gulf.

Talent Discovery
Andrada freely admits that he has an extremely high standard in mind for himself when it comes to finding fresh potential. He has made the decision to continue serving in both capacities because he wants to ensure the continued success of both his fashion firm and the Miss Universe Philippines brand.

If you ask Andrada, who is an experienced international designer as well as the director of the "Empowered Women" concept for Miss Universe 2016, he would tell you that it is a significant paradigm shift for him.

In addition, Andrada wants Wurtzbach to become a member of the team so that she may participate in the training of their new discoveries.

Most Connected Designer
At the end of the inaugural Malaysian Fashion Week (MFW) on October 22 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, at the Malaysia External Trade Development (METD), Albert Andrada was awarded the Most Connected Designer 2014 title. This took place at the Malaysia External Trade Development (METD). It was given to the designer whose work received the greatest attention from the general audience, as measured by the number of comments and shares their work received on social media platforms. 12 recognised fashion organisations from Asian countries, such as China, Korea, and Japan India, Hong Kong Singapore Thailand Indonesia Philippines Malaysia During Asia Fashion Week 2018, the most talented fashion designers from Taiwan and Vietnam will be exhibiting their wares in a single, centralized venue. On this worldwide platform, you'll find not just notable public figures and celebrities from all over the world, but also the most powerful buyers, journalists, editors, and businesspeople.

Criticisms
In 2021, Miss Philippines Rabiya Mateo was under a great deal of pressure to perform well in the national costume competition at Miss Universe. Rocky, the designer, passed away suddenly, which prevented him from finishing the suit. Despite the fact that it was very magnificent and imposing, his close friend and fellow designer, Albert Andrada, helped with finishing off the remaining work.

When Albert Andrada was hired for the assignment, he immediately halved the dress's length and added additional features to it. Many people pointed out that Albert's version of the dress was more imbalanced, ill-fitting, and worn than the one that was originally designed. Even the well-known sun crown was swapped out for what the new design team deemed to be a more attractive hat. This is the reason why the Filipinos did not acknowledge this outfit as having the appropriate spirit.

Style
The opulent fabrics, intricate embellishments, one-of-a-kind silhouettes, and intricate details that are synonymous with Albert Andrada's couture brand are finding their way into his ready-to-wear items, which can be worn from day to night and for both casual and formal situations.

Since the late 1980s, Albert Andrada has been working in the fashion industry on a global scale, which has allowed him to amass a wealth of expertise that he puts to good use in each and every one of his designs. Albert Andrada held the position of Chief Creative Director at one of the most famous fashion businesses in the United Arab Emirates before relocating to Manila in order to launch his own line of clothing. In addition to that, he worked as a royal designer for one of the families who were in charge of the area. His customers want nothing less than wealth and uniqueness in the clothes that they wear, and this has had a significant impact on his design aesthetic. He makes light of the situation by saying, "My experience there prepared me to be precise in details." The abundance of many cultures in the area served as a source of inspiration for him as he designed wonderful items to provide to his esteemed customers.

Albert Andrada feels that although traveling for pleasure might be a welcome break for the harried and highly productive professional, he still makes it a point to cultivate his sense of aesthetics when he is away from home.

There is not a shred of doubt in anyone's mind that Albert Andrada is well on its way to become a well-known brand in the fiercely competitive and discerning world of fashion all around the globe. It may come as a surprise that he has entered the industry of ready-to-wear, but what he provides is anything but an extension of what he is already renowned for, which is refinement, glamor, and luxury.
