Mini bio
How it started.
Orlaith studied fashion design at Limerick School of Art and Design, graduating in 2020. Their graduate collection, Sodeisha, drew on ceramicist Deirdre McLoughlin and the Sodeisha group, translating sculptural forms into clothing.
Finding an audience.
Their pared-back outfits became a recognisable part of their online work. In a Galway Now interview, Orlaith recalled styling a vintage Burberry coat inherited by their mother early in their creator career. That post led to work with Burberry.
Behind the clothes.
At 4th & Reckless, Orlaith worked as Senior Designer & Creative, with responsibilities spanning styling, campaign content and brand events. They described the brand’s first Fashion Week runway show in 2024 as a career highlight. In January 2026, they announced a move into consultancy.
