The QuenchwearTM collection, designed by Wendy Manasse, blurs the lines between lifestyle and active wear. The multi-purpose pieces make a chic transition from the Downward–Facing Dog to a splash in the sun to cosmos at six.  Flattering lines, versatility and yummy quick-drying fabrics, take today’s active woman wherever she pleases. Think of it like the little black dress… QuenchwearTM offers a palette that inspires a women’s signature style. Every woman feels as fabulous as she looks wearing QuenchwearTM. 

Wendy has always had a “thing” for swimwear and activewear. As a young girl, the first item she made with her newsewing machine was a bikini.  After high school, she left the suburbs of Chicago for Columbia, Missouri and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fashion Design from Stephens College. Wendy has spent 20 years designing and merchandising women’s swimwear for popular brands that included: Jantzen, Catalina, Anne Cole, Ralph Lauren and Cole of California. She was also responsible for developing private label product for the likes of Victoria’s Secret (the Miracle Bra Swimwear), J.C. Penney, and Nordstrom, to name a few. Wendy left the corporate swimwear world and began to plan her own business.  With her “target” customer in mind, Wendy began to outline design concepts that would become the QuenchwearTM  experience.  QuenchwearTM   was launched in May 2007 in Southern California.

What makes Wendy and her QuenchwearTM line so unique, is her ability to pair both her expertise in fit and construction with her extraordinary capacity to listen to what women want from the clothes they buy.  This listening led Wendy to design QuenchwearTM    with pieces that fit and flatter a real woman’s body. By focusing on fit innovation that skims curves, not stretches over them, coupled with impeccable fabrications, Wendy has redefined swimwear, activewear, and sportswear into QuenchwearTM    that makes women of all sizes and ages look and feel great.

Wendy states that “creating clothes that look great and are made well is a key ingredient; however, with QuenchwearTM , we take it to the next level.  We make sure every body looks and feels fantastic in each and every design”.

With all of QuenchwearTM design and production done in Los Angeles, California, Wendy keeps a watchful eye and “hands-on” approach throughout the entire process.  Her high standards ensure that all QuenchwearTM garments are made to exceed customer expectations.

QuenchwearTM is experiencing exponential growth via trunk shows. At the shows, women not only get to “experience the entire line” by touching each style and trying them on; but they get the bonus of having Wendy, or one of her stylists located throughout the country, provide personal tips and suggestions for their body type and life style.  QuenchwearTM is also growing via web sales and country club pro shops.

QuenchwearTM gives women the freedom to choose what they want to do, when they want to do it.
