About Us
Maitê Furtado is a multifaceted visionary whose passion for communication and fashion has marked her path from an early age. Born in Netherlands and raised in Portugal, she made a name for herself as a radio presenter and speaker in her teenage years, connecting deeply with the spirit of the millennial generation.
With a strong digital presence she excelled at creating authentic visual content for brands and designers. In 2021, she became a certified fashion journalist at Fashion School Portugal, deepening her critical and editorial skills.
Her passion for Haute Couture intensified after attending Paris Haute Couture Week in 2022 and 2023, an experience that inspired the creation of The Runway Source – a disruptive luxury fashion magazine.
