LONDON FASHION WEEK
ORLA KEILY SPRING SUMMER/2016
The creative world of Orla Kiely was founded in 1995 to express visually her love of pattern, colour, texture and rhythm, which as components all play and work together. Her instinctive graphic discipline to simplify and stylise everyday motifs and forms adds another dimension. With clean orderly repeat constructions and a boldness of scale, her work achieves strength with a very modern quality, while her nostalgia for all things mid-century, help make her patterns charming, uplifting and instantly recognisable.
