Ihanny Luquessa

IHANNY LUQUESSA IS AN ANGOLAN DESIGNER BASED IN PORTUGAL SINCE 2020, WHERE HE HAS BEEN DEVELOPING AN AUTHORIAL VISION THAT CROSSES EXPERIMENTATION, MINIMALISM, AND A STRONG ATTENTION TO FORM.

FOLLOWING HIS STUDIES AT ETIC, HE BUILT PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE WITHIN THE FASHION AND EDITORIAL LANDSCAPE, COLLABORATING WITH PUBLICATIONS SUCH AS VOGUE PORTUGAL, GQ PORTUGAL, MODAPORTUGAL, AND ELLE SERBIA. HE COMPLETED INTERNSHIPS WITH DESIGNERS CONSTANÇA ENTRUDO AND LIDIJA KOLOVRAT, DEEPENING HIS ENGAGEMENT WITH ATELIER PRACTICES AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF FASHION COLLECTIONS.

HIS WORK HAS GAINED WIDER VISIBILITY THROUGH SANGUE NOVO (MODALISBOA), WHERE HE PARTICIPATED IN MULTIPLE EDITIONS AND PRESENTED COLLECTIONS ON THE RUNWAY, INCLUDING “ECHOES” (FW 25/26), AN EMOTIONALLY DRIVEN EXPLORATION OF LOVE, LOSS, AND THE UNSPOKEN. OFTEN DESCRIBED AS EXPERIMENTAL AND REFINED, IHANNY’S PRACTICE REVISITS AND DECONSTRUCTS CODES OF CLASSIC MENSWEAR, REIMAGINING THEM WITH SUBTLETY AND INTENTION WHILE BALANCING TRADITION AND FUTURITY.

HE COLLABORATES WITH ADVERSA IN THEIR CREATIONS “UMBILICAL” AND “RUBICON”, OPENING IN 2026.
