Orla Kiely - Print Queen!


... is an Irish fashion designer, based in London.
She started out by doing Hat designs, and since then has moved on to other
unique excursions including kitchenware, stationery, fashion and even cars!!

Remember in the late 90's when laminating cloth went from
kitchy table cloths to handbags and even raincoats?
Yep... Orla Kiely pretty much started that trend :) Clever little pip!

Her business operates out of a three storey house in Clapham,
and her studio is situated on the middle floor, chosen specifically due to the amazing
light the room gets..... yep! Thinking like a designer ;)

When someone says the word "Orla Kiely" immediately the other
person is thinking "prints".

Orla's work is constantly on trend, and follows through from
her fashion to accessories... creating a complete outfit from one brand.
Pretty unique.



Her designs and prints are cute and clean, simple yet eye catching. Her fashion
denotes that of a innocent girl-next-door, everything is magical and well thought out 
to say the least. I especially love her little
dropped-waist t-shirt dresses and her pieces
that include her scooped, loose peter-pan collars.... SO cute and summery!
Definately something the Fanning sisters would look good in... ;)

Below are a few of my favs from her S/S 2012 collection, but please do
go to her website to check out everything else she has to offer!!
