Frances O’Leary Spring / Summer 2014
Frances O’Leary was headhunted at London’s Graduate Fashion Week, which led to her working for several retailers across the UK and internationally. But the desire to create her own aesthetic emerged and she launched her own brand in 2010. Her light chiffon and crêpe de chine silk dresses are made to order in the UK. The most striking feature of her collections might be the prints, which O’Leary designs herself. Imagery of rusted iron, broken brick, eroded bark and bare branches collide in ethereal collages.
