While Marta Marques and Paulo Almeida were studying for a masters in Fashion at London’s prestigious Central Saint Martins, they decided to combine their talents to launch a women’s line called Marques Almeida in April 2011. The label’s self-proclaimed “raw effortlessness” aesthetic has granted the designers the LVMH Prize for Young Fashion Designers just four years after their debut.
Marques Almeida’s avant-garde yet contemporary pieces are made with an unparalleled technical expertise that is seen throughout the construction of each garment. The label has since expanded to resort-wear, accessories and shoes, yet their signature pieces will remain focused on a specific 90’s nostalgic charm that is seen throughout their denim on denim looks, asymmetric pieces and oversized styles.
