A special one-of-a-kind project created as part of the Council of Irish Fashion Designers and Design & Crafts Council Ireland collaborations 2022.
This piece was created in collaboration with Brenda Mohan of The Irish Patchwork Society
Inspired by a piece of stained glass by Harry Clarke titled ‘Mr.Gilhooley’, which featured a nude dancer ‘Nelly’ draped in a sheer pink veil.
Crafted from off-cuts from previous dresses including silk organza and jacquards in various pinks and rose gold, and kept sheer to emulate the inspiration.
