Lis Mann

London

With Fabrique since 2025 8works Former senior designer at AERON, Paul Smith, and Oyuna. Her draping techniques transform minimal details into sculptural silhouettes.

Inspiration

For Fabrique, Mann draws from Sinking Fish, Falling Goose. A classical metaphor for beauty that quietly suspends the natural order. Inspired by the horse, the zodiac sign of 2026, the collection centers a woman in motion: free-spirited yet resolute, defined by independence, fluidity, and elegance. Within the collection, structured tailoring meets liquid silks, sharpened by contrast embroidery. Eastern-inspired references intersect with Western cuts, while traditional lace and embroideries appear in unexpected forms, shaping a poised balance between movement and stillness.

Background

Former senior designer at AERON, Paul Smith, and Oyuna. Her draping techniques transform minimal details into sculptural silhouettes.

London-based designer Lis Mann approaches design through the discipline of haute couture craftsmanship. With experience in a Parisian haute couture atelier, her process is rooted in traditional couture methods. Working directly on the dress form, where ideas are developed in three dimensions rather than on paper.

Before founding her independent studio, Mann served as Senior Womenswear Designer at AERON, the Hungarian label known for its quiet luxury sensibility. Since then, she has taken on project-based creative consulting for Paul Smith womenswear and cashmere label Oyuna. Across these roles, her design thinking remains consistent: form emerges through structure, and silhouettes evolve through construction.

Her creative exploration often begins with a single, precise element. A metal buckle can shift the architecture of a tailored collar. A strand of tulle can extend into layered volumes that redefine a skirt’s proportions. These small starting points expand into unexpected shapes and contours through hands-on draping, where every decision responds to how fabric behaves on the body.
