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.
 
    PROFILE — 1 of 2
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.
