Ready for the Holidays (?)

Last week's FASHION AFTER DARK was a great success... plenty of friends, music, and of course, tequila! Our friend Keith Gattis played along with opening act, Clayton Quisenberry. Everyone loved the clutches and the $250 shirt... and of course, all of the staple rhinestoned and embroidered creations that glitter on our walls everyday!! Speaking of $250 shirts...they must be ordered right away to be ready for the holidays!! If you haven't seen the prototypes yet, please see other entries or look on our Facebook!

On Wednesday (tomorrow), we are going to be setting up shop at Cabana to be a part of "GNO" or Girls-Night-Out. This is one of our favorite restaurants in town and we are excited to sip a few margaritas and show these awesome ladies some of our newest duds! For more information, click here.

Well, that's about all for now... keep checking for new updates!

Limited Edition Holiday Clutch Collection

Here's a quick glance at the first few clutches that will be available on Tuesday at Fashion After Dark... we won't be accepting pre-orders on these, so you better get here early! There's only going to be around 25 available, all one-of-a-kind ... must have for this season's holiday events and even around town. Prices range from $65-$125.

new ! new ! new ! new !

Hi there folks,
As most of you know, we're not too tech-savvy (is that what they're calling it still??) but we are on our way to trying to be at least caught up to 2005 or 2006-ish is far as that is concerned!! To fill you in, I'm writing from the headquarters of Manuel Exclusive Clothier located in Nashville, Tennessee. Manuel is responsible for making Mr. Johnny Cash the Man in Black, suiting Elvis, dressing all 3 Hank Williams, wardrobing over 90 movies, making the notorious Rolling Stones and Grateful Dead insignias -- just to name a few of his accomplishments! We're still crazy busy here. We are exciting to be doing new designs for clientele that are private, and some a little more well-known... Just in time for the holidays, we are offering "custom clutches" and we also have some available in the showroom, moderately priced at about $250-$350... and always keeping in Manuel tradition, each is a one-of-a-kind.


On Tuesday, November 24th we'll be leaving our doors open a little later for "Fashion After Dark". You can read more about the event here: http//www.minniepearl.org/fashion_after_dark/ A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Minnie Pearl Cancer Foundation and the Mas Tacos Por Favor van will be parked outside our spot and serving tacos to hungry patrons for the evening! Also, that evening we will be accepting advance orders for the limited-edition $250 shirt. All orders will be ready to go before Santa gets to town.

Most of you know about the book project with British photographer, Cambridge Jones www.cambridgejones.com

We've been doing the shoots for a while now and with each visit from our favorite Brit, we're getting closer and closer to the finished line. For press inquires about this publication, please contact laurenwray@manuelcouture.com Our roster of friends (also clients) that have so graciously been photographed is out of sight. No one other than Manuel could bring such a eclectic mix between the covers (pun intended!). We will be releasing the complete list of subjects when we wrap up all the fun legal stuff we all love and adore so much.

Again, thanks for supporting our business throughout the years. Please e-mail us at info@manuelcouture.com or call the shop with any inquiries!
