“Scraps of lace and beaten leather, a jacket in soft pink rabbit fur and a large basket embroidered with sequins, embroidery that sparkles and fuchsia that snaps… Without any complexes, the Manoush style applies the bohemian charm and the mix of types.  Manoush is truly “a girl’s thing”.”

Manoush is known for sophisticated styles that blend playful girliness with seductive sex appeal.  The first “real” collection was winter 2004-2005.  Featured in top fashion magazines such as Cosmopolitan, Glamour, Teen Vogue, InStyle and Elle, Manoush is quickly becoming a necessity for any girl’s closet.  Celebrities have even taken notice and action, including Mischa Barton who wore a Manoush silk shirt at a movie premiere. This chic French Label can be found at prestigious points of sale all over the world, and at your convenience, here at the Edge of Urge boutique and edgeofurge.com.  If you wish to obtain items in a vintage style with just the right touch of flashy details, be sure to check out the many beautiful pieces of Manoush.

Labeling themselves as a part of the resistance league while growing up, Davora Linder and Camilla Eckersley used this as inspiration for their label’s name, Prairie Underground.  The brand is a Seattle-based line of hoodies, dresses, tanks and coats.    Their combination of masculine, muddy colors contrasts with their feminine, yet practical structures.   This progressive sense of style puts a pasture spin on everyday garments with body-hugging shapes and practical details.  But the most impressive of all is that Prairie Underground’s clothing is made from convenient wash-and-wear organic cotton or hemp fabrics.  Jessica Alba and Leelee Sobieski are two fans of Prairie Underground, and if you click here, you can be too.
