I can’t believe the day has finally arrived when I can tell you about what I’ve been working on for over a YEAR! For those of you who guessed I was working on a clothing line…. you were right! I was appointed Creative Director for ATTITUDE Jay Manuel, Sears Canada private label collection! I will be involved in all facets of the collection including product development, design, fit, in-store retail and marketing. In addition to women’s apparel, ATTITUDE Jay Manuel will also include shoes, bags and accessories. The entire line will be available in all Sears stores across Canada.
I’m super excited, nervous and grateful to welcome you to the world of ATTITUDE Jay Manuel.
My inaugural Fall/Winter 2011 Collection will be unveiled at LG Fashion Week in Toronto, Canada on Wednesday, March 30th, 2011 at 8:30 p.m. and new collections will be presented twice yearly.
The show will be streamed live on the web and I’ll post the link soon so you all can be a part of the fashion show and festivities! Within the next 12 months, I plan to bring the entire line to the US… I’ll keep you posted on where it will be retailed and when!
ATTITUDE Jay Manuel Fall/Winter 2011 Collection brings together modern interpretations of the sophisticated silhouette from the early 60s with the luxury and textures of the 70s. Designed for the stylish woman on the go, highlights of the collection include flattering shapes such as wide legged trousers, sleek pencil skirts, fashion-forward suiting that transitions from office to evening and seamed dresses for the fashion conscious. Versatility and impeccable tailoring are paramount; the fashionably current collection ranges in size from 0-18. The Fall/Winter 2011 color palette – inspired by Morocco – consists of slate, cognac, peacock, marine, raspberry and black, accented by stylized animal prints.
I’m thrilled to be working with Sears Canada to make fashion accessible for all women who love to be beautiful! Throughout my career I’ve traveled the world, working with designers and creative visionaries in the fashion business, learning the art of women’s design. A good fit and draping fabric was something I learned at an early age, as my grandfather was a respected tailor. The time is right to return home to Canada and bring all my worldly inspirations to a fashion line that empowers women.
Here’s the official press release
I will be previewing the collection to the press in two weeks…. So stay tuned! Keep checking my blog and twitter @MrJayManuel for updates.

Hi Jay, Congrats on this new venture. I can’t wait for the new collection and I know you won’t let us shoppers down. I currently work for Sears in the Modern Shop, and customers are continuously asking when the new ATTITUDE fashions will be arriving, now i know.
Your collection is so amazing, that I haven’t any word! Just one: admiration!
how exciting that this line is coming to Sears!!! I know one of the models that was in the recent Toronto fashion show wearing the line! And I sure d towards the thigh high boots and want a pair, as soon as the line is available for purchase! Which is my question, when is the line available to buy!! As a 43 year old fashion loving woman I want those boots! Thanks Jay!!!!
It is so great!

Dear Jay,
You deserve all the succes that this entire world can give! I admire you from the bottom of my heart, but not for your pretty face, that’s something that we all can have…but for your fresh, happy, and mostly human attitude. i will keep my fingers crossed for you and for your new collection! Please, don’t let anyone get in the way of your dreams, and remain the same smart and natural man!
With all my respect and consideration,
Ema

Hi! It’s good to you, congratulation! I can’t wait to see your collection.
Any Mr Jay does is like magic. Love..love it…I’m out of words.
Happy belated birthday!
There are times when I wish you would take me under your wing so I could see what I might look like all dolled up properly.
Alas, at 73 years old – it’s probably not going to happen.
But a gal can dream.
