FEBEN is a womenswear brand launched in London in 2021 by Feben Vemmenby, who was born in Ethiopia and grew up in Sweden. Drawing on her background after completing a master’s degree at Central Saint Martins (Isabella Blow Foundation scholarship), the brand combines matter and form to create optical illusions, with distinctive silhouettes and vivid, bold prints. It has presented its collections repeatedly at London Fashion Week.
