Marques'Almeida

Marques'Almeida is a British fashion label which debuted in 2011.[1]

The label was founded by Portuguese designers Marta Marques and Paulo Almeida, who met while they were both students at Central Saint Martins in London.[1] They are known for their creative use of denim, and 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, even though they initially gained prominence for their use of denim, they didn't include jeans in their collection until several years later.[2]

In 2015, the label won the LVMH Young Fashion Designer Prize, the largest cash prize for a new brand in fashion.[1]
