Manuel Designs
Men's and Women's Fall/Winter 2008
The first Manuel Designs collection I participated in developing was fall/winter 2008. I worked with the Directors of Women's Designs and Men's Designs directly and assisted in sketching the initial concepts, building techpacks, communicating with our development office in Italy, selecting fabrics and trims and approving samples.
This collection gave me an opportunity to work with a variety of luxury fabrics and trims, to see the tailoring techniques I learned in back in school put into actual work and to participate in the R&D process with an Italian manufacturer that specialized in embellishments.
The collection showcases the mastery of traditional tailoring, while it introduces a more modern and feminine approach to suiting materials in the women's line.
