Mans presents his new collection for the spring/summer 2024 season at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid, incorporating women’s garments for the first time. As a natural evolution of the fashion brand, and in parallel to the menswear line it has been building, the firm commences in women’s wear.
A collection of sartorial pieces in which the masculine/feminine duality is played upon, recreating gender codes. Volume versus fluidity and elements typically associated with the masculine wardrobe are added to feminine pieces, and vice versa.
Oversized blazers stand out in contrast with tie-up blouses or tailored trousers, pencil skirts to which pockets are added, as well as classic white poplin shirts with small pleats that grant an air of sophistication to the garment.
The color range evolves from neutral and dark colors such as charcoal grey, black, or beige to sparks of navy blue and fuchsia pink. A color play that is also applied to mini, straight and clean cut dresses with a 1960s feel. Brown, fluorescent green, pink in different shades, as well as jewelled fabrics ready for the evening that are printed on silk taffetas giving it a casual air, in 100% silk or light wool.
Mans continues to reinterpret in his men’s wear line the classic suit with simple jackets in perfect light wool, with hardly any pockets or seams, and figure-lengthening trousers in silk. Silk georgette blouses add a provocative edge to men’s garments in colors such as lime, lavender and red.
Mans, with this collection, has received the L’Oréal Paris award for Best Collection by a designer at the September 2023 edition of MBFWM.
