Loza Maléombho

Description

Born in Brazil and raised between Ivory Coast and the United States, Loza has been drawing since the age of 13. She earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Animation from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia in 2006 before interning with top fashion designers in New York and deciding to launch her own brand.

Established in New York in 2009 and relocated to Ivory Coast since 2012 where its production now takes place, Loza Maléombho is described as a bridge between traditional African aesthetics and contemporary fashion. Loza Maléombho’s silhouettes celebrate the paradox of old and new, cultural and futuristic.

Loza Maléombho works with artisans (shoemakers, weavers, bronze workers) who have mastered their craft for generations and integrate their craft into its collections.
