manchester
& hue is owned and operated by Brie Manchester Gordon and
Christie Hu Zangrilli. Notorious for creating fashions, the two
ladies have been turning out original styles since their days
together in a closet-sized dorm room. Still, it was little more
than a hobby until someone in public relations saw Brie's earrings
and said, "Get your s*#t together, then call me." Brie
called Christie. They got their s#*t together. Now they're proud
to present their first line of ear-wear, called "meow!"
Christie
describes her personal style as classic, "although I always
try to alter my style a little to suit my mood. It's like mixed
nuts. Minus the peanuts. Plus raisins. Oh, and sometimes dried
cranberries."
"I
like colors," says
Brie of her personal fashions. "I prefer a little
funky, recycled,
handmade flair, you know? As far as nuts go,
I always choose trail mix - I need a little sweet with my salty..."
Christie's
turn-ons include good teeth and sneakers. Her turn-offs include
black socks and creepy asiaphiles.
Brie's turn-ons include, but are not limited to,
chivalry and crosstown buses. Turn-offs...she'll have to get back
to you on that one.
