A Success Story

From her early years, Ana Resende showed a fascination for the world of arts and fashion. Creative since childhood, she began designing her own clothes and, with her mother's help, bringing them to life—a hobby that quickly became a passion and eventually a successful career.

Forty years ago, Ana decided to formalize her love for fashion by studying Fashion Design, a crucial step that paved the way for the creation of a successful brand synonymous with exclusivity and elegance.

Shortly after completing her course, Ana Resende embarked on the project that would define her professional life. In partnership with her sister, Arminda Resende, she founded the atelier Ana Resende Fala-me da Moda, a brand with a 100% Portuguese name, dedicated to creating exclusive dresses for portuguese women and beyond who wish to feel unique and elegant. From the beginning, the atelier stood out for its exclusivity and personalization, values that continue to be the foundation of the brand.

The process of designing a dress

At Ana Resende's atelier, the philosophy is clear: meet clients' expectations and enhance their natural beauty. The process begins with an image consultation, where the bride and the stylist together define several options to find the perfect look.

All Ana Resende's creations are recognized for their distinctive design, combining creativity with good taste. Focusing on simple and elegant lines, the stylist creates timeless pieces that enchant brides seeking a classic style. Each dress is crafted with high-quality materials.

Ana Resende Fala-me da Moda is the ideal place for creating exclusive wedding dresses. Each piece is custom-made, ensuring that no two dresses are alike. Regardless of the silhouette, the atelier is dedicated to creating unique models that highlight each bride's individual beauty. In addition to brides, the atelier also caters to bridesmaids, mothers, and flower girls, offering personalized creations for all special occasions.

It's important to highlight that Ana Resende accompanies brides through every stage, from the first appointment to the final fitting, also offering advice on lingerie, accessories, and complements for the look. This ensures the bride has a harmonious look beyond the chosen dress. To reinforce this step, in partnership with a jewelry store, Ana Resende can also design exclusive jewelry to complete the bride's look.
