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 shape new silhouettes, without forgetting the playful touch that is always present in his collections. “I try to keep the garments simple, but adding a dash of fantasy through embellishments to give them a certain chaotic feel,” Becer explained after his spring 2025 show. “Everything is jersey, Ponte Di Roma [a double knit jersey], and denim to make the clothes comfortable.” This doesn’t mean there’s not a place for fun. “We’ve managed to stay true to our signature zippers at the back and corsetry-inspired fastenings,” he added.
This evocative, summer-ready collection is composed 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 American college style,” Becer explained. A subtle exercise in youthful elegance, the lineup includes striped scarves, lace-up miniskirts, and polos flirting with Ivy League aesthetics.
Becer is a master of playing with proportions and silhouettes and finding that elusive balance sought in all forms of artistic expression. “There’s a real exercise here of thinking of every garment individually, and solving them technically by adding elements that distort them,” he said. Oversized sequins, ruching, and fringe embellished the pieces while preserving harmony, functionality, and, of course, a sense of playfulness.
