Lenny Niemeyer
LENNY NIEMEYER ARRIVED IN RIO DE JANEIRO, AFTER MOVING FROM HER CHILDHOOD HOME IN SAO PAULO. AS SHE BEGAN HER SEARCH FOR SOPHISTICATED BIKINIS WITH THE SENSUAL ALLURE OF A CARIOCA, SHE ENDED UP FINDING A NEW TALENT. SHE HIRED A SEAMSTRESS AND WITH SMALL AMOUNTS OF FABRIC SHE STARTED TO DESIGN PRECISELY THE SWIMSUITS SHE HAD IMAGINED. PREVIOUSLY A RENOWNED LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT, HER LOVE OF NATURE INFLUENCES HER PRINT DESIGN AND AESTHETIC.
LENNY HAS SINCE TRANSFORMED INTO A TRUE FASHION LEGEND. IN 1993, AFTER 10 YEARS OF DESIGNING AND MANUFACTURING BIKINIS FOR OTHER FAMOUS BRAZILIAN LABELS, LENNY DECIDED TO CREATE HER OWN BRAND BY OPENING HER FIRST STORE IN IPANEMA. SINCE HER RUNWAY DEBUT IN 1997, THE NAME LENNY HAS BEEN SYNONYMOUS WITH HIGH- FASHION SWIMWEAR, RECEIVING WORLDWIDE EDITORIAL WITH FAMOUS MODELS IN THE FASHION WORLD WALKING HER SHOWS.
“I CREATE GLAMOROUS LOOKS WITH DISTINCTIVE ELEMENTS”, SAYS LENNY. “I DESIGN FOR THE INDEPENDENT, CHIC WOMAN AND MY SUITS ARE MEANT TO HIGHLIGHT THEIR FEMININITY, BEAUTY AND CHARM.”
