We recently caught up with Merve Manastir and Beste Manastir the co-founders and creative directors of Manu Atelier to see how their quarantine is going. Many of us find ourselves scrolling through our photo albums as we day dream of past vacations and future ones to come. For this series we ask some of our favorite designers and fashionistas to share with us where they’d rather be, how they are spending their time, and what’s the first thing they’ll do when this ends.
Where are you currently?
Istanbul
Where would you rather be?
South of Turkey or south of Italy
What are you currently listening to?
Beat 54 – jungle
Top 10 quarantine essentials?
Hand sanitizer – water – internet – music – lots of chocolate – dry goods (rice, pasta, oatmeal etc.) – vegetables&fruits – streaming services – home office necessities – puzzles
What was the inspiration for your new pieces?
We’re launching your PF20 collection in May on our website and in-store, can you show us share with us an exclusive sneak peek?
How will you be different after this experience? Is there anything you realized you took for granted? How are you spending your quarantine?
Lots of things actually, but human interaction and freedom of act is by far the most granted and the ones most needed.
A Special thank you to Merve and Beste Manastir.
