INÊS BARRETO
WORKSTATION
Inês Barreto graduated in Fashion Design from Modatex do Porto, in 2021. During her studies, she developed a strong artistic identity, exploring themes related to the mind and psyche.
After graduating, she interned with Alexandra Moura and, in March 2023, won the ModaLisboa x IED Istituto Europeo di Design Award at the Sangue Novo competition, earning the opportunity to pursue a Master’s Degree in Fashion Design, with a focus on sustainability, at IED Milano.
For Inês, fashion is a deeply personal and intimate expression that goes beyond clothing creation. Her work is built on narratives that channel her voice and perspective, giving meaning to each piece she creates. While competing in Sangue Novo, she discovered a passion for textile experimentation, particularly working with liquid latex, which became a key element in her creative exploration.
She sees both herself and the fashion world as being in constant evolution, driven by an ongoing creative process where the focus is not only on the final outcome but also on learning, exploration, and the connection between different artistic fields that inspire her work.
