"Port Zienna's bridal line is ethically produced in a self-owned factory in Lima, Perú. We love the Minimal Jumpsuit overlaid with the Zienna high-low Overskirt. When it's time to party, simply remove the overskirt, and you're ready to get down on the dance floor!"

"After working in luxury fashion for over 10 years and becoming dismayed by the industry’s pollution of the environment and exploitation of workers, Francesca Canepa launched Port Zienna in July 2017 with the desire to provide a healthy work environment, steady income, and flexibility to employees."

"Port Zienna is undoubtedly a young brand but far from being young in technique and craftsmanship. We are already calling dibs on the 1101 minidress and 0101 jumpsuit, now available for preorder on the site!"

"I discovered New York-based designer Francesca Canepa's Port Zienna label at Vancouver Fashion Week last September so I was pleased to see the designer make her New York debut this month during a showcase by the Council of Aspiring American Fashion Designers."

"Port Zienna's SS18 collection features monochrome simple pieces that use the haute couture technique of draping. After working with Oscar de la Renta, Tom Ford and Carolina Herrera, New York-based designer Francesca Canepa launched her first collection this year."

"I was struck at once by the clothes' exquisite agility. These pieces are not designed for women who keep quiet and stand still. Graceful and vigorous at the same time, they celebrate the moving person within while elegantly shaping her exterior."

"Looking for a statement piece? Look no further. The luxury brand’s pieces—draped in Brooklyn and manufactured in Peru—include bold black and white jumpsuits, color-blocked shirts, and pants with a modern silhouette."

"Tiene 29 años, ha trabajado con Oscar de la Renta y ya tiene una marca propia: Port Zienna. La peruana Francesca Cánepa debutará en la pasarela LIFWeek este octubre. Sus diseños –atemporales y ultra chic– se han presentado en las semanas de la moda de Nueva York y Vancouver. ¿Cuál es el secreto detrás de su éxito?"

"Port Zienna refleja minimalismo puro. Bajo el lienzo del binomio ganador: blanco y negro, vestidos, conjuntos, blusas, faldas y camisetas básicas impregnaban el desfile de simplicidad pero sin dejar lo sofisticado de lado. Ni estampados ni bordados a la mira, solo una explosión de drapeado, técnica que caracteriza a la diseñadora."

"La firma de la diseñadora peruana Francesca Canepa, con base en Nueva York, presentó Collection No. III SS19. El punto de inspiración fue la estética minimalista del escultor estadounidense Richard Serra y el artista danés Troels Sandegård, y la fuerza de las onnabugeishas."

"Entre sus méritos está haber trabajado en el estudio de J. Mendel, en el que conoció el ready-to-wear; en Oscar de la Renta, donde se dedicó al drapeado; y en Finesse, la casa que borda para Burberry, Tom Ford y Carolina Herrera."

"La Alianza de Marcas de Moda del Perú es una iniciativa creada por el Gremio de Indumentaria de la Cámara de Comercio del Perú que busca impulsar el sector textil peruano a través de la protección de su herencia cultural y sus recursos naturales. ¿Ya conoces a Port Zienna, integrante del Peruvian Fashion Council?"

"La noche la cerró Port Zienna, la firma de moda sostenible de Francesca Canepa, y fue una celebración al minimalismo de Richard Serra y Troels Sandegård y a la fuerza de las guerreras samuráis Onna-bugeisha."

"Con un estilo minimalista y prácticas sostenibles, Francesca está posicionando el diseño latinoamericano a nivel global. En esta entrevista, nos cuenta la motivación detrás de Port Zienna, la importancia de vivir de acuerdo a los valores de su marca y comparte con nosotras cómo la historia de la moda marcó su identidad como diseñadora."

The stunning silver jewelry as well as the bright red hair ties used on the model added both attitude and bold character to the overall classy display. From jumpsuits and tastefully slinky dresses, the looks were put together with immaculate silver detailing."

"Working in NYC’s Garment District at Finesse Embroideries, Canepa also designs embroideries for Burberry, Tom Ford, Carolina Herrera, and Monique Lhuillier. But, draping has always been her passion, and the reason she founded Port Zienna. The collection has caught the eye of fashionable heavyweights including Olivia Palermo."

Sus siluetas minimalistas tenían volúmenes geométricos perfectamente calculados."

While studying in Paris, she fell in love with the technique and empowering result it yields. She wanted women to experience this same feeling through clothing and one of the reasons she created Port Zienna, a womenswear label that focuses on sustainable design through everyday essentials draped by hand."
