N iamh O ' Neill
I nspiration can come from anywhere. Irish designer Niamh O’Neill was inspired by natural references that add beauty and iridescence to her latest collection. The Autumn/Winter collection features unique pieces which exude both modernity and classic style. The Irish born beauty looked to nature and used influences such as butterfly wings, beetles, fish scales and jellyfish. These lustrous references are evident in the selection of luxurious fabrics, many of which Niamh designs with her trusted fabric suppliers from Italy and France. Fabrics include silk georgette with a lurex thread detail in a rainbow of colours, subtle sequins and a hand-designed butterfly print on silk twill. For this Autumn/Winter Collection, Niamh has added a luxurious tweed, made in Paris, to the rich array of fabrics. The Anna coat, in wool and cashmere, features an integrated leather belt, making it a perfectly polished choice of outerwear this season. Another exciting addition to this collection is a tailored jumpsuit with crepe trousers and a printed silk twill top. It’s contemporary and tailored, for the women who likes to feel fashion forward, but polished at the same time. The daring designs and materials achieve an effortless autumn/ winter look that is bold and refreshing. The collection blends the best European luxurious fabrics with her elegant innovativeness, and feminine structured designs. Since graduating from the National College of Art and Design in Dublin with a First-Class Honours Degree in Fashion Design in 2008, Irish fashion designer Niamh O’Neill is continuing to impress in the world of fashion with her elegant and timeless fashion pieces that have a stunning feminine silhouette.
Schooled by some of the biggest fashion houses in the world today, Niamh worked with Diane Von Furstenberg in her New York, before heading to Paris to work with John Galliano and Martin Grant. Back in 2012, Niamh returned home to Ireland where she set up shop to release her debut Autumn/Winter collection. Her hard work and efforts were quickly rewarded in 2013 where she picked up the Fashion Designer of The Year at the Irish Fashion Innovation Awards. Niamh O'Neill is one of Ireland's most exciting creative talents. Niamh O’Neill's latest collection is available online and at selected retailers. END
