I first got into Orla Kiely as a struggling student in London more than a decade ago. I immediately loved her simple, repeating graphic designs, particularly the iconic leaf pattern, and as funds were limited got on her mailing list to receive invitations to sample sales and special offers. This being before the rise of the internet, I particularly recall one visit to her showroom in London which was a look at the less glamorous side of fashion. It was certainly an interesting experience, but I never minded and I have remained a loyal fan since then.
When I think of Orla Kiely I usually think of bags and accessories and tend to forget that she also produces clothing. Images from her Fall 2011 line were released a couple of months ago and I really like what she's got on offer. Have a look after the jump.
