Ireland’s most successful designer has confirmed that she is expecting her first baby with long-time partner this November.
The 28-year-old Ranelagh native is thrilled with the news and is clearly in nesting mode, though it is nesting of a slightly more high-octane sort than researching the ultimate pram and agonising over repainting the ‘home office’ lemon or custard.
The award-winning designer is busy showcasing her Spring/Summer 2016 collection at London Fashion Week, moving house AND setting up her first stand alone boutique in Mayfair with illustrious neighbours like Marc Jacobs and Celine.

Not for her a maternity leave of re-watching old episodes of Friends and eating chocolate digestives, she is already planning the shop’s window display for her new collection in the New Year.
“And, in between, I have to have a child.” she told the New York Times. “So I have to think of all these things now.”
Could this be the most stylish bump in Irish fashion history? With her heritage and major success to date, that’s probably a yes. Watch this bump.
