Lorena Prieto

Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas

I am a Fashion Design student at the Pontifical Catholic University of Campinas, Brazil, with a practice grounded in accessory design and creative craftsmanship. My work explores the relationship between material, form, and identity, often translating organic references into contemporary pieces. Alongside my academic journey, I run my own atelier, where I develop handmade bags and accessories through a close and collaborative process with clients. This experience has strengthened my sensitivity to functionality, personalization, and storytelling in design. I am particularly interested in material experimentation, combining traditional techniques with new approaches to create pieces that balance aesthetics, purpose, and emotional connection.

Working with our partners at Arts Thread to develop lifelong learning and career opportunities for students of fashion and design. Our partnership provides the opportunity to compete on a world stage, participate in industry led workshops, set up an outstanding portfolio and gain access to the resources that will kickstart careers in fashion and design.
