In Nashville, a group of aspiring fashion designers are being mentored by legendary designer Manuel. They are working together in Manuel's shop, where they can be found behind sewing machines and cutting fabrics. The designers are learning from Manuel's expertise, which includes making custom, one-of-a-kind pieces.

Manuel's shop is a unique workspace, and the designers feel fortunate to be learning from him. One stylist, Billy Farrell, was working on a custom suit, cutting through a banana print fabric. Further details about Manuel's mentorship and the designers' experiences are available from NewsChannel 5 WTVF.
