A graduate of Fashion Design by the Institute Français de la Mode (IFM) in Paris, Filipe was also a winner of a British Council Young Creative Entrepreneur Award, and owns a design studio that has developed products for several brands.
Filipe set up Senhor Prudêncio as a personal way to celebrate the traditional handmade and high-quality footwear with which Portugal used to be associated in the past. The brand’s initial collection, named ‘Turbine’, comprises footwear, bags, gloves and belts, and is aimed at a man who appreciates original details and good finishes.
