Valentina Menasche is an artist and creative director whose work finds its roots in the tactile — in the deep human need to feel, to hold, and to be held. Born in Panamá, and raised between Bogotá, Medellín, Miami, and later New York, Valentina’s identity is shaped by a rich layering of cultures, emotions, and experiences. It was in New York where she officially launched Menasche, channeling years of exploration across different art forms into the brand. For Valentina, translating her learnings from painting, sculpture, film, music, and performance into fashion has been essential. Menasche is not just a label — it is a living self-portrait. Behind the brand's films, you hear Valentina’s voice; in the music and video production, in the editing, in the makeup design — her hands are everywhere. Every piece is an act of intimacy and authorship, offering a deeply personal reflection of a mind that refuses to separate art from life.
