Renata Brenha

Renata Brenha is a Brazilian womenswear designer based in London, with an MA in fashion 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.

With a focus on the human aspect in design and research rooted in Brazilian folklore and popular culture, Renata experiments with sustainable methods to develop a creative practice capable of facing the collective challenges of our times. Her textiles are predominantly developed in-house from carefully chosen materials that would otherwise be considered waste.

Renata is an artist-in-residence at the Sarabande Foundation, established by Lee Alexander McQueen to nurture creative talent. She was a semifinalist in the 2023 Latin American Fashion Awards (Emerging Talent category) and a finalist in the 2024 Challenge the Fabric Sustainability Awards.

Nowadays, Renata Brenha’s brand is expanding globally and can be found in countries such as the United Kingdom, Australia, the United States, Japan and South Korea, on some of the world’s leading fashion destinations, such as Selfridges, 10 Corso Como, Isetan and Super A Market.
