Jorge Manuel brings to life the journey of a child’s “daydream” with the POETE COLLECTION 2013. The designer unlocks the collection with the playful childlike dress, the “Artiste” gown, as to symbolize the beginning of a woman’s journey. The transition of this “child” becomes more noticeable as the dresses in the collection evolve in shapes and lengths as to signify growth, passion and strength. Moreover, the complete metamorphosis is felt toward the end of it when the designer closes with the “Reine” gown fit for a “queen”.

Jorge Manuel captures the essence of what it is like to make the voyage through the magical gardens and forests of a child’s daydream through the magic of photography. The world in the collection is filled with both scenic fantasies in hues of pink and purple joy. Photographed in a place where both reality and dreams collide.

The POETE COLLECTION 2012, composed of 15 dresses, is a celebration life in a more youthful style of detailed beauty. “The wedding day in many cultures is a rite of passage. A public demonstration of how this child has become a woman on this big day," explains Jorge Manuel,” for this reason I decided to design a collection through the eyes of the child. I want to make brides feel that this moment in time is a culmination of the making of young dreams into adult reality.” The POETE collection balances style, tastes and design into a cluster of wedding dresses that will make anyone feel chic, pleasantly different and timeless.

Jorge Manuel's design philosophy, particularly in this collection, calls for the utmost in individuality and attention to detail. The inner child’s joy of daydreaming launches how she envisions looking on her wedding day.

In a time where bridal has become heavily saturated with the same style of design in bridal gowns, Jorge Manuel brings to life a collection that is fresh and bold, yet timeless. It is a collection that speaks to the bride who truly wants “that something different in her dress!” The POETE COLLECTION 2013 – We welcome you to travel the Journey!
