For striking, contemporary looks for red-carpet events, a day at the races, or black-tie weddings, you will not find more interesting options. He has just opened his first boutique, which is located in Kildare Village. It will stock a mixture of pieces from the ready-to-wear line, along with a capsule collection of 20 pieces designed especially for the boutique.
