Renata Brenha is a Brazilian womenswear designer based in London, with an MA infashion from the Royal College of Art (2018) and a postgraduate diploma from Central Saint Martins (2016).
Founded in 2019, her eponymous brand reframes the place of women and Latin America in contemporary fashion, based on a sustainability proposal and the reuse of resources with a strong artisanal vein. Semi-finalist for the Latin American Fashion Awards 2023 in the emerging talent category, Renata experiments with sustainable methods to develop a creative practice capable of facing the collective challenges of our times and recovering the human aspect in design.
Her textiles are predominantly developed in-house from carefully chosen materials that would otherwise be considered waste. The designer’ studio recently moved Sarabande Foundation – created by Lee Alexander McQueen to foster creative talent – a residency that has started at the end of 2023.
