FROM VALENTINA

I was born in Panamá. I grew up between Bogotá, Medellín, and Miami. I built MENASCHE in New York.

Every city left something in me — a texture, a memory, a way of moving through the world. That layering is what the brand is made of.

I came to fashion through painting, sculpture, film, and music. For me, there was never a separation between art forms — only different ways of translating feeling into something you could hold. Clothing became the most intimate of those translations.

Behind every MENASCHE film, you hear my voice. Behind the music, the editing, the makeup — my hands are there. This brand is a living self-portrait. Every piece is an act of authorship.

I started MENASCHE because I needed clothes that felt like me. I kept building it because I learned others were looking for the same.

ABOUT MENASCHE

MENASCHE is a luxury experimental fashion house built on the tension between intimacy and form. Each garment is treated as an object of authorship — sculpted, tactile, designed to be felt before it is seen.

The brand moves between disciplines: clothing, film, image, and sound are not separate channels but one continuous language. A MENASCHE piece does not end at the body; it continues into the music it is worn to, the room it enters, the memory it leaves behind.

Rooted in brutalist architecture, dark romanticism, and the emotional weight of cinema, MENASCHE designs for a particular kind of presence — vulnerable, deliberate, unafraid of beauty that carries weight.

The house is based in New York, with cultural roots that stretch across Latin America and Europe. Every collection is conceived as a complete world, not a seasonal proposal.
