Blue Skies

 

This collection was born out of a feeling of optimism. The feeling of the sun on your skin and blue skies overhead and that anything is possible. A feeling I often have after a morning sea swim.

The photoshoot took place on my local beach in Killiney, South County Dublin, on a beautiful, bright September day. I spent my childhood outdoors in this area and it was wonderful to be back where the inspiration for the collection began.

The vibrant red ankle-grazing tank dress in the collection provided the kind of coverage most women want. Some of the finer-gauge pieces had the opposite effect and were so weightless they were almost transparent but for our classic 1950s style pants underneath.
