History
The house of Angolan designer Ana Nunes.
Ana Nunes
Ana is an Angolan designer working across contemporary fashion, tailoring and garment construction. She holds an Honours Degree in Fashion from STADIO School of Fashion in South Africa, where she built her foundation in pattern development, technical construction and creative design. Her work sits between sculptural experiment and wearability, drawing on cultural, artistic and architectural references from an African point of view.
Recognition
Ana represented STADIO at Graduate Fashion Week in London as the school’s only African representative. She was named Fashion Designer of the Year by the Angolan community in South Africa, and in 2026 presented The Second Drive at South African Fashion Week.
The work
Four bodies of work, each one moving the house closer to what it is now.
A/W 2023
Flexible Lifestyle. Modular, transformable garments inspired by contemporary architecture, designed to be worn several ways.
2024 – 2025
The Zero Waste Shirt, a pattern-making study, and The Nest, a sculptural piece built from the structure of a bird’s nest.
A/W 2026
The Second Drive. Tailoring shaped by luxury sports cars and made with discarded materials given a new purpose.
Made of miles.
Material that has already travelled, given a second life on the body.
