Marques'Almeida is a fashion label which debuted in London in 2011.[1]
The label was founded by Portuguese designers Marta Marques and Paulo Almeida, who both studied at Central Saint Martins in London.[1] The brand is known for the creative use of denim, Style.com credited the label with helping launch the revival of distressed denim in the 2010s.[2] However, the brand's focus is actually on high-end women's wear,[1] and despite being renowned for their innovative denim garments, they didn't include jeans in their collection until 2015.[2]
In 2015, the label won the LVMH Young Fashion Designer Prize, the largest cash prize for a new brand in fashion.[1]
The brand is sold through their own E-commerce site, as well as many fashion e-commerce giants such as SSENSE, Net-a-Porter, and Matches Fashion.[3]
