The 23 Runway Show features the collaboration of designer Leandro Benites, invited by Lenny to participate in the creation of the pieces for the show “I really believe in collabs and when I was introduced by my dear friend and stylist Dani Ueda getting to know Leandro's super talented work, the connection was instantaneous and wonderful! He is young, authorial and brought his fresh look to this meeting”
- Lenny Niemeyer
Leandro has a relationship with fashion that began at the age of 13 when he studied theater and classical ballet. “I made my own costumes and at the age of 14 I won an award for Best Costume Design in a show I signed.”
“The part that most impressed me in this process were the personas. The Lenny woman, who is mature and brings all that carioca lightness and, in contrast, the more urban woman, genderfluid. This mix of the urban with the classic was the characteristic that most encouraged me in this collaboration.”
“For me, the brand’s future holds an even greater range of possibilities that other audiences can explore. It’s a fashion that goes beyond clothes, with a story to tell, that caters to different bodies… for me, all of this is the future.”
