Edward Buchanan and Manuela Morin caught a little spotlight during the early Bottega Veneta ready-to-wear collections when they took the apres show bow with Laura Moltedo, Bottega’s then owner and creative director; Edward for the sumptuos knits and serious leather separates, Manuela for the waiting-list accessories. But after five years — after the graffiti collection and before the Gucci invasion — they left brimming with confidence, to start their own line. Leflesh is the name of their capsule line of leather goods and simple, intricate knots, at first designed for press only, but now, two seasons later, selling exclusively to stores thaat require exclusivity. This season’s “modern-day Alice in Wonderland” collection includes silk-tiered skirts, studded leather goods, and handmade pumps with labia appliques.
