What do you get when fashion players behind Lisa Ho, Sass & Bide and Seduce get together to launch a label? Manning Cartell, an elegant boho mix of cropped jackets, suits and slinky frocks.
The goods are the brainchild of sisters Cheryl, Vanessa and Gabrielle Manning, who all quit lucrative jobs to cater to our curves (Cheryl as head designer of Seduce and formerly a designer at Lisa Ho; Vanessa as operations manager at sass & bide; and Gabrielle as general manager of Seduce). "I suppose I'm 33, and just felt like if I didn't do something now, I'll get to 50 and think I never tried, [that I] always played it safe," Gabrielle says.
They're off to a good start...
