ABOUT MARQUES ‘ALMEIDA

Founded in 2011 by Marta Marques and Paulo Almeida, MARQUES ‘ALMEIDA is a London-born, Portugal-based fashion house celebrated for its raw yet refined aesthetic. Their style evokes effortless cool, yet their technical skill is evident in the construction of each piece. Marta and Paulo naturally combined their talents during the MA at Central Saint Martins, striking a balance between impulse and consideration. The brand quickly gained recognition with early collections presented through Fashion East, establishing a signature language of bold shapes, unexpected textures, and confident design. In 2015, MARQUES ‘ALMEIDA was awarded the LVMH Prize for Young Fashion Designers and a British Fashion Council British Fashion Award for Best Emerging Designer, marking the beginning of rapid growth and long-standing partnerships with leading international retailers.

The brand continues to explore freedom and individuality, blending street energy with expert construction. Sustainability and responsibility are central to its vision: the Social and Environmental Manifesto guides every decision, while reM’Ade, a line transforming waste into new collections, demonstrates that creativity and consciousness can coexist. Drawing inspiration from youth culture, global communities, and a spirit of inclusivity, MARQUES ‘ALMEIDA crafts pieces that are simultaneously wearable and statement-making. Having shown collections in London, Paris, and Portugal, the brand’s return to London Fashion Week in 2024 with the AW24 collection marked a homecoming, reaffirming its commitment to pushing boundaries and shaping the future of fashion.
