Susana Bettencourt is a Portuguese fashion designer whose work lies at the intersection of traditional craftsmanship and the possibilities of the digital. From an early age she was drawn to artisanal knowledge, becoming fascinated with bobbin lace at the age of five—an interest that would go on to shape her creative identity. She graduated in Fashion Design Knitwear at Central Saint Martins in London and went on to complete a Master’s in Digital Fashion at the London College of Fashion, where she consolidated the fusion of traditional techniques with contemporary technologies.
The Susana Bettencourt brand, founded in February 2011, focuses mainly on knitwear, designed “from yarn to piece”—from the thread to the finished garment—always with careful attention to raw materials, process, and finishing.
