MY FAVOURITE IRISH DESIGNERS

Leather and silk - a marriage heaven by Manley

Debbie Millinghton silk scarves are great for intense colour on a top or dress

Melissa Curry marries intense colours with contemporary design to produce extraordinary jewellery. Buy one piece and wait for the complements.

Blaithin Ennis wowed American buyers with her intrinsic plait metal detail

Craftsmanship and design are at the heart of everything this bag company do. Landa bags are Irish with a global feel

Breda Haugh knows her silver and gold and how to put them seamlessly together to create unique designs. These are one of my go to every day earrings

Sian Jacobs makes the kind of cashmere that not only lasts bud adds interest and depth to every outfit

Buy Irish, wear Irish and look Irish but with a twist. Green leather with chiffon. No words needed

Another powerful Roisin Linnane jumpsuit that just does what it's told. Beautiful crepe

Louise Kennedy clothes have zest, energy and power. Never ever give away one of her pieces

The Vivienne dress from Helen McAlinden fits like a glove and has pockets!

Simple business casual but interesting detail on the sleeve to take it to the next level.

Sonya Lennon and Brendan Courtney were never going to dissapoint when they launched this affordable and wearable collection for Dunnes Stores. Suit all body shapes

Sharon from andtate shirts have perfected the simple white shirt that is anything but simple. These are worthy of the red carpet.

Helen McAlinden pure cotton dress.

Laura Chambers knows her colours and fabrics well. She creates knits with edge and glamour

Paul Costelloe for Dunnes Stores is an excellent label combining affordability with well cut clothes.

Caroline Kilkenny knows how to accentuate a waist. Gentle ruching at her waist line is a signature look

Fee G do dresses with a twist. Love the scalloped detail on this collar and the flared skirt balances the hips.

Emma Manley can seamlessly sow leather into silk to create tops with creativity and impact.

Theo & George make great basics but they are anything but.

Love Jill & Gill quirky designs on their tees and sweaters

Cleo Prickett cut her teeth at Roland Mouret and brings her tailoring experience to beautiful tweed fabrics like this one.

Cozy up in Laura Chamber Cashmere

Joanne Hynes pieces always conjures up 'where did you get that?" Looking forward to her Autumn winter drop.

Roisin Linnane dresses have to be tried on to see their fall and drape but the look is effortless.

I bought a brown leather Roisin Gartland skirt 25 years ago in a sale in the Design Centre. The leather to this day is still perfect. Investment dressing with impact.

Not just a t-shirt polo but a top that has a very confident collar that will fit seamlessly under a jacket.
