About Manuel

Long before he opened his showroom in Nashville, Manuel served as tailor to the Rat Pack and other celebrities in Los Angeles. Through a position with master embroiderer Viola Grae, a designer who fashioned a brand on flamboyant and elaborate clothing, Manuel would meet and begin working with Nudie Cohn at Nudie's Rodeo Tailor.  As an apprentice to the style icon who built a clientele of Hollywood and Country Music A-listers for his embellished suits and rhinestoned designs, Manuel would rise from head tailor, to head designer and even partner alongside the country and western wear mogul.  In 1975, Manuel Couture was launched just down the street from Nudie's in Hollywood. His styles branded the "Man in Black" Johnny Cash, George Jones, Marty Stuart, Dwight Yoakam and many others.  In the 80s, he opened his Nashville location and to this day this octogenarian is an in-high-demand designer that operates his shop and showroom at the corner of 8th and Broadway in Nashville.
