About the brand

Marques'Almeida is a London-based womenswear brand founded in 2011 by Portuguese designers Marta Marques and Paulo Almeida. The duo first met during their BA at CITEX fashion school in Portugal before pursuing individual work experiences—Marta at Vivienne Westwood and Paulo at Preen—and later reuniting during their MA at Central Saint Martins. Their design philosophy follows Helmut Lang's school of thought that "fashion is about attitude not hemlines," emphasizing raw effortlessness while revealing technical sensibilities in each piece's construction. Since launching, the brand has achieved significant recognition, winning the prestigious LVMH Prize for Young Fashion Designers in 2015 and the British Fashion Award for Best Emerging Designer. Known for their innovative use of denim, signature boyfriend jeans, and denim corsets, Marques'Almeida creates quietly defiant designs with playful use of color, asymmetric shapes, and sustainable practices. The brand emphasizes community and longevity, designing pieces with soul that are meant to be passed down through generations rather than following fleeting trends.

I would love to see more interesting and unique collabs between Everlane and brands like Marques Almeida. The material is soft, light and comfortable...

This Marques' Almeida Sequined Tulle Maxi Dress is pure drama in the best way. Heavily embellished with sequins, it sparkles with every move, while the lightweight tulle keeps it breezy. Fully lined and easy to slip on, it's the statement piece that makes any night unforgettable.

Marques'Almeida and Tolu Coker both made a case for denim co-ords, which are totally wearable right now.

The Impression

Their signature tapestry-style brocade fabric suddenly looks fresh again which could be down to it being rendered in a longline corset layered over a lime pleated dress or in ultra-wide leg trousers.

Bleached jeans make a surprising comeback this season, fuelled by the likes of Marques Almeida and Diesel. 'They go hand in hand with oversized silhouettes to exude an effortless aesthetic,' says Libby Page, Market Director at Net-A-Porter.

Known for their raw fabric tension with frayed hems, cut-outs and asymmetric cut designs, SS25 broadened the brand's horizons as the classics were infused with high-neck Victorian ruffled shirts, mini dresses structured from tapestry and denim two pieces with firm bodices.

The Impression

Describing their brand as one of “defiant beauty” through the implementation of “Intentional carelessness” forgoing the trappings of keeping clothing pristine edges were left raw, hems uneven, ruffles spilling out of openings, and crinkled and skewed shirt dresses.

A cast who the designers said were close to their hearts – friends, customers, fans – could also have benefited from a broader range of plus sizes.
