The Irish fashion designer tells us about her first solo exhibition at the Kevin Kavanagh Gallery, Dublin …

I revisited my past – as an MA student at Central Saint Martins in 1999-2001 – especially my sketchbooks from that time, as well as visits to the college library for fashion inspiration. I recalled the work of Martin Margiela, for example, which I found so powerful at that time, which could be defined as a kind of antithesis to fashion itself.

In terms of belonging, there are images and references in sketch books that I cannot part with. For example, a woman I photographed in 2001 in a purple suit, whom I called The Purple Woman. I feel a loyalty to her, I don’t know who she is or where she is now, she’s probably dead. She appeared frail and dislocated from the world around her, she wore a damaged thread-worn purple suit with a falling hem and shoulder pads askew, all of her askew, not quite right.
