Founded in 2020 by Feben Vemmenby—a Central Saint Martins graduate of Ethiopian heritage who grew up in Sweden—Feben is a London-based label exploring the visual codes of Black life and displacement. Known for her surrealist approach to silhouette and texture, Vemmenby’s work is defined by her signature "Twist" technique, where shirred fabrics create organic, 3D optical illusions that adapt to the wearer’s body. The brand’s aesthetic is a collision of "matter and form," featuring vibrant prints, bobble fabrications, and lavishly draped gowns that challenge traditional luxury standards.
