Inside the Wardrobe of Ireland Top Designer Emma Manley

Describe your closet in three words.  Packed. With. Manley.

What are your closet staples? Leather skirts, leather t-shirts and trainers. That’s me, most days.

What’s your signature piece? No matter the weather, I’m a legs out kind of a girl, so it has to be a leather skirt. In winter, I love layering chunky knits and in summer, I contrast lighter and sheer silk tops with leather skirts. It’s always a leather skirt day to me.

Bye Bye to the GEC

Today is a happy/sad day. Just over two years ago, I made the leap to move from a studio in my family home, to the Guinness Enterprise Centre.

6 Years Ago... Today!

I returned home from London in 2010 after interning with Alexander McQueen, with a collection in my suitcase. It was to become the first ever Manley collection, I just didn’t know it yet. I was stone broke but had wonderful friends around me who came together to help me create the shoot that was featured in this article. Little did I know the shoot would get picked up by Irish press and help launch Manley.

Our Very First Manley Bride!

This weekend was a very special one for me. As if getting to see my gal-pal marry the love of her life wasn't enough, I got to see her do it in Manley. It's been a year in the making and what a special year it's been. Aoibhín Garrihy has been nothing short of the perfect bride.
