Jenny Monteiro’s story begins in Capanema, Pará, the heart of the Brazilian Amazon. The third generation of tailors in her family, she grew up playing among the luxurious fabrics and lace embroidery of her mother’s wedding dress workshop. Jenny observed the unique sensibility of each woman entering the atelier, in awe of how her beauty could be exalted with careful attention to the details of her body, gesture, and personality. A childhood promise to her mother, to become a renowned designer carrying the Monteiro name, became the driving force behind her aspirations, rooted in love and shared ambition.

In 2012, Jenny took a leap of faith towards a lifelong dream, launching her own brand, JMonteiro Milano, inspired by all of the beautiful strong women in her life. She opened her first atelier in one of the Navigli district’s famed historic caseifici (artisan cheese workshops), where to this day she continues to create luxurious custom creations for women around the world. The exquisite detail of her creations, the meticulousness of her work and her precise vision are all still expressed today in every garment leaving her Milano atelier.

Jenny’s star rose quickly in 2018, where upon taking home top prizes at Alta Roma Fashion Week she was quickly sought after to dress stars on the Red Carpet of Venice and Rome International Film Festivals. The fashion press took notice, with the brand landing features in prestigious publications like Glamour, Vogue, Elle, and Vanity Fair.

Jenny’s creative vision expands with the launch of the WEEKEND collection, delivering accessibly priced, stylish pieces that uphold Made in Italy’s commitment to quality and sustainability. Designed with the modern woman’s dynamic lifestyle in mind, the collection seamlessly blends fashion with comfort and personality, transitioning effortlessly from bustling city streets to relaxed weekend getaways without sacrificing a modicum of style.
