Manuell & Moore

Helen is a highly acclaimed, award winning couturier,

and a recognised authority on design in the bridal

industry. An unashamed romantic, and true believer

in following your passion and instinct, there is

something compelling about Helen's designs.

Her creative vision, and fluid natural style, which

celebrate the female form, truly captivate the senses,

and have made her one of Australia's favourite bridal

designers. It is Helen's talent, combined with natural

ability to make people feel at ease that attracts

both national and international clients to her.

Helen's comprehensive portfolio of work in both

bridal, and red carpet, clearly illustrate her natural

flair and versatility, and her unique style and

approach to design, has led clients to seek her out.

Totally untrained in the art of bridal couture,

Helen follows her instinct and relies on experience

to create master pieces for each client. Form,

function and versatility are the key to all her

designs. Reflecting her clients personality in

each frock, a concept is developed, resulting

in the bride's dream wedding dress.

Manuell & Moore have a solid reputation for dressing

clients for the Brownlow, the Logies, the AFI Awards,

the Alan Border Medal, and other notable red carpet

events. Helen's style in bridal wear draws from red

carpet designs and is often reminiscent of the 1920's,

1940's and 1950's. The fabrics Helen uses are all silk,

whether it be a fluid silk satin chiffon or heavily

encrusted french chantilly lace. Fabrics are flown in

from every corner of the earth to satisfy her clients

desire for a 'one off' wedding dress. Manuell & Moore

use fabrics that are ornate and difficult to access,

so the client can rely on having a garment that is

individually made for them.

In 2008 Helen appeared as a contestant on Project

Runway Australia Series One. As a result of the

publicity received from the show, a ready to wear

collection was developed under the label of

'Helen Manuell'. These styles are classical and

quite simple, but very individual in their design.

They are made for bridesmaids, cocktail and

Spring Racing Carnival and are available off the

rack at a very affordable price.
