ABOUT MANON PLANCHE

Emerging french designer based in London, Manon Planche creates one of a kind pieces.

Positive fashion is at the heart of her multifaceted collections.

Manon focuses on upcycled materials and ethical manufacture whilst creating bold, printed and
textured pieces meant to empower women and encourage them to dare it all.

Drawing inspiration from observations of alternative methods of transport and their existential operators; Manon Planche’s collections take you on a ride to the next galaxy. From custom motorcycles, to drag racing cars and vintage jet skis - Planche’s creations are influenced by unthinkable activities, conducted by equally daring people; as daring as those who wear the designs.

Manon Planche collections have been cited as “Ones to Watch” by Vogue Italia, shown during London Fashion Week AW18, AW19 and SS20 and worn by many inspiring women, including Rita Ora and Kate Nash.

Our products are all created and manufactured in london paying great attention to workers conditions and reducing waste as much as possible.
TIME TRAVELLER COLLECTION (to be sold in store during the Pop-up)

Every piece of clothing deserves more than one wear, more than one life and eternal love.

Clothing allows you to reinvent yourself but it can also reinvent its own self.

Our designs are in constant evolution, past pieces feed into future ones, references are borrowed from many different decades and style becomes a time travelling machine - by far the most retro futuristic way to transport oneself.

The whole collection is up-cycled from post consumer and industrial waste, with the main materials being second hand denim and discarded chandeliers.

The denim is reworked by hand, it is frayed, patch-worked and sometimes laminated, where it isn’t in a condition to be re-used as is. During the fraying process, threads are removed one by one and reused elsewhere to create some fury textures. The fringed pieces are draped and sewn back together in a unique way on each piece of the collection.

Chandeliers are dismantled and reimagined into body jewellery and more.

Positive messages are written across the collection to convey ideas of hapiness, motivation and love.
