Why Manière de Voir is worth it
Manière de Voir makes sculpted, waist-cinching tailoring and vegan leather with runway-level drama at a far gentler price.
The tailoring is the draw: blazers pulled in at the waist, hourglass jackets and corset-built waistcoats that shape the body rather than hang off it. Its leather and suede are vegan, cut into cropped bikers and bombers with sharp seams and contrast stitching. Every style is designed by its own team and fitted on a live model before it goes into production, which shows in strong shoulders and nipped waists, often in deep browns, black and cream.

About Manière de Voir
Reece Wabara founded Manière de Voir in 2013 while he was still a professional footballer at Manchester City. The first pieces were tracksuits, tees and hoodies he handed to players he knew, and word spread from there.
It set out to land somewhere between the runway and the high street, and grew into a label known for sculpted, body-shaping tailoring and vegan leather for women and men, all designed in-house.
