Irish fashion label Manley has launched a brand new collection for 2023 featuring timeless classic pieces in the unique Manley style with an all-out metallic twist.
For this collection, designer, and founder Emma Manley went back to brand basics, taking some of the hero styles of the past, including the iconic Manley leather Tee, and reimagining them. Dialling up the fun for this collection, Manley embraced colour more than ever, working with a palette of bubblegum pink, lilac, poppy, turquoise, green, gold, lavender, cobalt, pewter, and old silver in beautiful iridescent metallics to pack a punch and elevate any wardrobe.

Manley doesn’t buy into trends, yet somehow the pieces always remain relevant and wearable season after season, year after year. This really comes down to the brand ethos, which has always been versatility and longevity, creating pieces that can be worn in many ways for years to come.
This collection is no different, with a selection of leather joggers, bomber jackets, tees, and mini and midi skirts. Each item can be mixed and matched, intertwined with an existing wardrobe, dressed up or down, day or night, whether you’re rocking a pair of trainers or heels. Every piece in the collection is made to be worn.
The latest collection reflects Manley’s thoughtful and meticulous craftsmanship, combining skilful tailoring and embellishment. The butter-soft leather is hand-cut down to the signature scalloped edges on the necklines and cuffs.
Quality and ethical practices are at the heart of Manley design, with materials sourced from the finest fabric houses in Italy and manufacturing carried out in Italy and 50% here in Ireland.

Speaking about the collection, Designer and Founder Emma Manley said, “This collection is my very own magpie moment. I wanted a collection that was full to the brim with fun! I wanted to create bright, colourful, and fun pieces that can be dressed up and down, and I feel this collection offers exactly that.”
Shot by Photographer Evan Doherty and styled by Creative Director Courtney Smith, the latest campaign took place on the streets of Dublin, bringing it back to the brand’s roots.
Speaking about the campaign, Creative Director Courtney Smith said, “We wanted to bring Manley back to Dublin, where the brand was born and conceptualised and shoot on the streets. Capturing the vibrant outfits against the backdrop of the city offered a great contrast to the looks.
Manley pieces are all interchangeable, so we had fun pairing different skirts, trousers, jackets, and tees. There is a lot of colour in the leathers for this season, and it was important to showcase that.”
