Mariel Manual is a fashion designer, illustrator and overall artist that knows just how to capture an audience's attention. She combines her love of art and fashion in her most recent collection, entitled 'Keep Your Eye on the Doughnut.' To increase the quirkiness, there is no doughnut involved in this collection at all. Instead, it revolves around an adorable sea creature theme.
Mariel Manual employs unique silhouettes that include billowed shoulders, tons of texture like the tattered sleeves that resemble tangled seaweed and unique accessories such as a crab crown.
Born in Lausanne, Switzerland, Mariel Manual moved to Antwerp to follow fashion at the prestigious Royal Academy of Fine Arts. She currently lives and works in Paris.
