Miguel Becer’s ManéMané – now firmly established after more than a decade in business – continues to honor its original identity, drawing inspiration from folklore and traditional textures to form new silhouettes, without forgetting the playful touch that is always present in his collections . “I try to keep the garments simple, but add a touch of fantasy through embellishments to give them a certain chaotic feeling,” Becer explained after his spring 2025 show. “Everything is sweater, Ponte Di Roma [a double knit jersey]and denim to make the clothes comfortable.” This doesn’t mean there’s no room for fun. “We’ve managed to stay true to our signature back zippers and corset-inspired closures,” he added.
This evocative, summery collection consists of structured pieces that draw from the infamous indie sleaze of the early 2000s. “It’s a very musical collection, a bit indie, even with a nod to the American college style,” explains Becer. A subtle exercise in youthful elegance, the range includes striped scarves, lace-up miniskirts and polos that flirt with the Ivy League aesthetic.
Becer is a master at playing with proportions and silhouettes and finding that elusive balance sought in all forms of artistic expression. “It’s a real exercise in looking at each garment individually and technically solving them by adding elements that distort them,” he said. Oversized sequins, ruffles and fringe embellished the pieces while maintaining harmony, functionality and of course a sense of playfulness.
