A girl from Buenos Aires who arrived in Israel at age six with a pencil in her hand, and a head full of shapes. She never stopped drawing. She never stopped dreaming.
I can't remember a day I didn't draw. A day I didn't think about shapes, fabric, what could be made from a piece of cloth and a needle. It was part of who I was from the very beginning. Drawing, sketching, imagining. It was never a hobby. It was just who she was.
It all started on her mother's sewing machine. What began as curiosity became a craft, and that craft became a brand. Today, every single piece is cut, sewn, and finished by Brenda's own hands — no factory, no shortcuts.
She traveled through the streets of Puglia and Parga with a film camera and a head full of ideas. The ancient stone, the light, the slow pace of life -- it all became the collection. Every photograph she took became a mood board. Every alley became a silhouette.
"I am a maker. I photograph, I draw, I design, I sew. I don't separate them. They are the same thing."

Every piece cut, sewn and finished by my hands. One at a time.
Shot on analogue film — because film slows you down, and slowing down is the point.
Only natural fabrics — Italian cotton or linen. Your body feels the difference.
I'm 1.57m — trousers were always too long. Here, the garment adjusts to you.
