Susanna Clara Elisabeth Andén, known professionally as Mini Andén, is a Swedish model, actress, occasional host, and producer originally from Stockholm. She began modeling at the age of ten and joined Elite Model Management by fifteen, quickly establishing herself in the fashion industry. Andén has graced the covers of prominent magazines such as Vogue, Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan, and Elle, and has been featured in major campaigns for brands including Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, BCBG, Louis Vuitton, Hugo Boss, Gucci, and Victoria's Secret. She has also served as the face of Giorgio Armani's perfume Armani Code for Women.

Andén's early exposure to modeling was complemented by her training in ice-skating from age five to eighteen. After completing her education, she pursued modeling full-time, relocating to Paris and later New York to advance her career. Her work with renowned photographers like Peter Lindbergh, Patrick Demarchelier, and Mario Testino has contributed to her status as a top international model.

Transitioning into acting, Andén has appeared in several films and television series, including roles in The Mechanic, My Best Friend's Girl, Tropic Thunder, Nip/Tuck, Chuck, and Fashion House, where she portrayed a self-destructive model. She also produced the 2003 short film Buffoon, which starred her husband, Taber Schroeder, whom she married in 2001. Andén has been involved in hosting, notably leading the Swedish segment of Scandinavia's Next Top Model in 2005, and served as a judge for the Miss Universe pageant in 2001.

Residing in Los Angeles with her husband and their child, Andén maintains a presence in both the fashion and entertainment industries, recognized for her versatile contributions as a model, actress, and producer.
