Limerick born Aoife Mc Namara is founder of her eponymous sustainable, Irish made fashion label, Aoife Ireland.
After attending a fashion show in her teens, Aoife was bitten by the fashion bug. While her friends went travelling Aoife upped sticks and moved alone to New York to intern with Marc Jacobs and then to Paris. After 6 months of multiple jobs in the fashion capital she returned to Ireland and launched Aoife Ireland in 2019. Flash forward a year she has won multiple awards and her designs have been seen on some of Ireland's most stylish ladies. In this episode she announces an exciting new venture that is set to bring her label to life.
We chat, showing at Paris Fashion Week, sustainability and how lockdown has reminded her what she really wants.
