My collection 'Devil’s in the Details' is inspired by haunted buildings in Ireland and the myths that surround them. I appreciate how there is still beauty to be found among these ruins. On visiting these ancient sites, I was drawn to the textures of the stones and this is a focal point throughout the collection. This collection embraces the darker side of modern tailoring and adds a masculine edge. I want to draw attention to Irish crafts and vernacular design and I have collaborated with local Irish knitwear designer Edel MacBride to produce knit elements inspired by the crumbling stonework. The fabrics used in this collection are traditional Irish fabrics such as Donegal tweed and wool, all of which are 100% Irish.
