Today designer Emma Manley (www.emmamanley.com) talks to us about what she’s wearing
The blazer costs €190, the jumper €165 and the jodhpurs €275. All are available to buy at Bow in The Powerscout Townhouse, Dublin.
It’s the perfect ‘go to’ outfit. It’s comfortable and classy for work. If I just throw on a pair of heels and take off the jacket, it takes me to after-work events.
I adore Chloë Sevigny. Her style is always original and completely achievable.
Stella McCartney — she designs for real women; Erdem — his S/S11 collection is breath-taking; Mary Katrantzou — keep an eye out for this newcomer, she’s something very special, and VPL — their underwear as outerwear is a must.
A horse print shirt from Zara. I’m more than in love with it.
My new Tom Ford glasses. I adore them and I think that’s important when it’s something you wear every day.
A vintage Astrakhan fur coat I found at Spitalfields market. The coat was in need of some TLC so the stall owner agreed to give it to me for a discounted price only because she knew I was handy with a needle and thread and would give it the love and care it deserved.
Places where you can find something a little more unique — boutiques, vintage stores and flea markets.
A see-through Calvin Klein rain mac that came as a freebie with perfume — it was more like a body bag though. It was horrific but I thought it was beyond cool.
