Scene: Manresa Clothing Pop-Up store at 173 Elizabeth Street in Nolita, Manhattan. Manresa is a one man brand created by Connecticut born designer and owner Mike McLachlan. His vision encapsulates a workwear, outdoors, and streetwear sensibility. Manresa’s Clothing line is about quality, style, affordability, and communicating with his fan base on an everyday basis. Talk about customer relations! His direction for his brand now is “Classics, not novelties” as he mentioned at the Pop-Up. Mike has had a handful of brands starting when he was 13, creating his graphic tees in his parents basement workshop. This has been his dream 20 years in the making. And what a success it is! It was incredible to see the number of people coming to the Pop-Up from as far as California to meet and purchase. I am very proud of Mike and his journey. I’m wearing one of his shirts from an earlier collection.
Mike and I met in our first year at Marist College in the Fashion Department. Mike was a freshman and I was a new professor. He was in my Photoshop, Illustrator, and Creative Process classes. He has addressed me by a few names. First it was Professor, then it was Mr. D, and my newest is Uncle Fred, which happened at the Pop-Up. He referred to himself as my apprentice when he reached out for me to review his first look book, when he transferred to a Graphic Design major after he left the Fashion Department.
I always believed in Mike’s talent and supported his growth. I became a mentor to him. He shared his visions with me and we brainstormed. He would visit the city and we’d go to fabric stores, talk about his new ideas, and have lunch. We learned from each other.
