Our Story
In Albanian paganism, Hëna (the moon) plays a significant role in beliefs, rituals, and myths. Hëna Studios is a testament to the enduring strength of the remarkable people who came before me. Drawing from their boundless love and wavering resilience, Hëna Studios stands as a beacon of their legacy inspired by their courage and fortitude. Hëna Studios will serve as both a mirror of our cultural values and a means of preserving and transmitting those values across generations. In doing so, I hope to make both my ancestors and future generations proud of what we are building together.
About the Founder
Born and raised in New York City, I grew up surrounded by a constant exchange of people, ideas, cultures, and creativity. New York taught me to look closely—to notice what people wear, how they move through the city, and how the things we choose to surround ourselves with can become an extension of who we are.
After studying in New York, I felt the need to step outside of everything I knew. I moved to Berlin to pursue a master’s degree in Sustainability in Fashion and the Creative Industries, immersing myself in a different way of thinking about fashion, consumption, and creation.
That experience changed the way I see clothing.
Hëna Studios was born from a desire to look beyond the surface of what we wear. I believe it is important to know what you are wearing, where it comes from, how it was made, who made it, and why it exists. To me, clothing should carry intention. Nothing should be without thought.
There is always something deeper.
Hëna Studios is my exploration of that idea—creating pieces with a sense of purpose, while questioning the systems, materials, and stories behind them. It is a brand rooted in curiosity, consciousness, and the belief that what we wear can mean more.
