Marcelle Barbosa

Marcelle was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She moved to New York to attend Parsons School of Design, pursuing her studies in fashion design. During her time there, she gained hands-on industry experience through internships with Area and Alexander Wang, among others, further refining her creative process and technical foundation.

Marcelle is dedicated to preserving the artistry and craftsmanship that define true luxury while reimagining them through a sustainable and modern lens. Her goal as a designer is to create pieces that honor heritage, emotion, and individuality, merging couture-level technique with a responsible approach to consumption and production. Through her brand, Amaramara in partnership with co-founder Inanna Sarkis, she aims to prove that sustainability and high craftsmanship can coexist as the new standard of modern luxury.
