This girl has created, as far as i am concerned my perfect jacket, taken from her AW10 collection and re-presented for LFW SS11.
hard and soft. leather and chiffon. could be awful. it's not.
Manuela Dack has a genuine eye for all things lovely, a talent for creating beautiful but wearable garments and an asethic and mood that can only inspire. Finding beauty in strange things and strangeness in beauty.
I've been following her blog the Silver Cleaver for some time now, a personal yet not alienating platform of ideas, a living breathing scrap book, a beautifully considered compilation of inspirations, aspirations, style and, lest i say it again, loveliness.
Elena Tells and I popped down to her low key but none the less considered, LFW SS11 presentation last week and were not disappointed; felt like I was standing in one of her blog posts can only commend how her genuine aesthetic has transcended into every aspect of her brand and collection.
you can't really tell from this picture but all the jackets were suspended from the ceiling and encased in perspex. a play on the hard on soft qualities. the sheer and the opaque.
Also the nude beige one in the front had gorgeous crystal detailing on the shoulders encased under a layer of chiffon.
*sigh* just something else for the want need list.
