Named for Manon Lescaut, the heroine of Giacomo Puccini’s opera. The opera is based on the 1731 novel, Histoire du chevalier des Grieux et de Manon Lescaut, by L'AbbéPrévost. Manon is a femme fatale who wields her seductive power for her own personal gain. She is beautiful, complex, and defiant in her sexuality! Throughout the centuries, Manon has inspired a diverse range of artists, from filmmakers to Japanese pop stars.

Mrs Pomeranz’s new collection pays tribute to strong feminist women in art, literature, and music. It’s a celebration of warriors: revolutionary Baroque painter, Artemisia Gentileschi, and inspirational Harlem renaissance artist, Laura Wheeler Waring; brilliant French authors, George Sand and Colette; and headstrong divas from the operas, Tosca and Carmen.

The collection features lightweight, printed batiste and silk fabrics from Florence, accompanied by an eco line of separates in 100% linen. Classic Mrs Pomeranz silhouettes – boatneck, wrap, shirtwaist, and full skirts – are evident throughout. This collection is as original and enduring as the women who inspired it.
