PIECES of ME

ISABELLA (IZZI) MANFREDI MUSICIAN

“When you perform with Harry Styles, you’ve got to step it up in the fashion stakes,” deadpans izzi Manfredi. The frontwoman of indie-rock band The Preatures bought this three-piece Christian Dior look – leather playsuit, crisp shirt and stiletto cowboy boots – to support the megastar on his 2018 Australian tour. “I had a lot of outfits but I wanted something really special,” she recalls. “And it was: I felt sexy, safe and supported. When I got on stage I could roll around and throw my legs over my head if I needed to.” Following the shows with Styles – who Manfredi describes as “an absolute gentleman” and “consummate performer” – the playsuit braved 45 gigs on a regional tour, during which it was splashed with water, wine and beer. Stepping back into the ensemble brings those memories flooding back, especially given 2020’s pause on live music. “It’s nostalgic,” says Manfredi, reclining in the stalls of Sydney’s Seymour Centre. “The stage is my lifeblood, and wearing this makes me realise how much I’m yearning to get back up there.”
