Ester Manas

Ester Manas is a Brussels-based womenswear label founded in 2019 by Ester Manas and Balthazar Delepierre, who met studying at La Cambre and trained at houses including Balenciaga, Rabanne and Acne Studios. The brand builds size-flexible garments using swimwear and lingerie techniques: ruched jersey, tulle, lace and cutout dresses that stretch across a wide size range rather than being graded up. The duo won the Galeries Lafayette prize at the Hyères festival, an H&M Design Award and ANDAM backing, and show during Paris Fashion Week.
