Miguel Becer, the creative director of Mané Mané, has introduced a collection filled with playful, colorful, and flowing designs. His inspiration stemmed from a yearning to escape into a lighter, more compassionate existence, with a touch of gentle frivolity. To realize this vision, Becer removed the heaviness from typically bulky garments, transforming coats into mere linings and reconstructing shirts without backs or front sleeves, creatively using the remaining fabric for unexpected, artistic accents.
Departing from traditional layering, Becer crafted a seamless connection between top and bottom garments. This design allowed lighter tops to lift and support heavier bottoms, resulting in a harmonious balance of proportions. To achieve this, fabrics underwent a process of waxing, resin infusion, and stretching.
The collection features blurred waistlines, favoring an easygoing silhouette over refined sophistication. The Mané Mané woman embraces classic materials like Prince of Wales checks and shirt-stripe cottons but disregards conventional notions of good taste or modesty. A standout piece is the collaboration with Hune, featuring forks and spoons adorning black boots.
