Jorge Manuel is proud to introduce his Nebula Collection, a collection inspired by the stars. “It is not futuristic, per se,’ explains Jorge Manuel.” “It is, however, dealing with the future of bridal, a future available now, with this collection, to the most discerning of brides.”

For centuries, people have marveled in awe at the stars in the night sky. Some have mapped the stars for direction in navigation. Many others used stars and the patterns they made across the sky to tell stories, oral traditions that would be passed down through the generations. Still, others looked to the stars for inspiration or simply to make a wish.

In his most incredible collection yet, Jorge Manuel captures the intoxicating combination of power and wonder stars have inspired for centuries. Each dress is hand crafted with precision, exquisite workmanship and designed with purpose to reflect the essence of each constellation. As you navigate the website, explore the constellations’ stories included as part of each gown’s description. Though many have looked to the stars for the future, allow Jorge Manuel to introduce it in bridal with the Nebula Collection 2011.

 

   
Nebula Collection Winter/Fall 2011
 
The Ara

Silk Satin and Silk Shantung asymmetrical strap neckline with a combination mermaid- dropped ball gown skirt with heavily pleated bias-details at bodice and hem of skirt. Hand-embroidered crystals on strap and around the bottom half of skirt. Shown in Pearl color.

The Ara is perhaps the crown jewel of this collection. Over 200 yards (600 feet) of bias strips are meticulously encrusted on the gown starting at the bodice and ending gloriously at the hem of the skirt. The designer, inspired by the form of the ARA constellation, decided to echo its shape in the repeated pattern of the hem and mirror it with similar details on the bodice.

Available in our five colors. (Pearl, Off-white, Ivory, Candlelight, Cream.)

The opening price range is $5,900-6,490 with hand-embroidered crystals or $4,700-$5,170 without crystals.

Available in sizes 2 -18.
Due to the intricate design on the hem of the gown, Hollow to Hem orders are recommended for this gown.
