# Draping Biker Jackets The Manuela Dack SS11 Collection is Both Soft and Hard By Meghan Young | Published 2010-10-12 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manuela-dack-ss11 References: [stylebubble](http://www.stylebubble.co.uk/style_bubble/2010/10/floater-jacket.html) & [manueladack](http://www.manueladack.com/) The Manuela Dack SS11 collection is an interesting blend of both hard and soft elements. The hard is seen in the [classic biker-esque cut](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiko-kostadinov-x-fox-lab) and [leather material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leather-trenchcoat); the soft is apparent in the sheer fabric subtly draping over the shoulders. Presented during London Fashion Week, the Manuela Dack SS11 collection shows an experimentation with traditional designs without going overboard. These [unique jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsaks-kendall) will surely be a hit off the runway as well. It's a perfect combination of the hottest styles this upcoming season. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Biker-inspired Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunities include incorporating sustainable materials and customization options. - **Soft/hard Blended Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunities include experimenting with unexpected combinations and unique textures. - **Sheer Fabric Accents:** Disruptive innovation opportunities include incorporating technology to create adjustable and interactive fabrics. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion and Clothing Design:** The fashion industry can explore new materials, textures, and customization options to elevate traditional designs. - **Sustainable Fashion:** The sustainable fashion industry can utilize ethical materials to create biker-inspired fashion pieces. - **Textile Technology:** The textile technology industry can develop new fabrics and techniques to create interactive and adjustable sheer fabrics. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bright Timeless Spring Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsak-spring-2024-collection.md) - [Leather Motto Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leather-motto-jackets.md) - [Coordinated Leather Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsak-spring-collection.md) - [Versatile Sculptural Outerwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transhabit-collection.md) - [Studded Belt-Made Dynamic Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/replica-suit.md) - [Desert-Inspired Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsak-ss25-collection.md) - [Stylish Technical Motorcycle Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aether-mulholland-motorcycle-jacket.md) - [Versatile Stylish Seasonal Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blauer-1.md) - [Fall-Ready Timeless Aviator Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aviator-jacket-1.md)
