Holly Jade O’Leary began designing for performances in Berlin, after moving to the city following working as manager and head stylist of cult London boutique Prangsta 2008 - 2013.
Her first role in the city was as Art Director of Berlin Alternative Fashion Week in its infancy, followed by opening an artist’s atelier in Neukolln, and staging her first fashion theatre show at The Greenhouse Berlin, combining multidisciplinary arts, scripting and choreographing unique performances using reclaimed materials within fashion construction.
Holly Jade O’Leary timeless designs hint at 1930’s film star meets rock chic meets contemporary dance wear, in a sophisticated working capsule wardrobe which travels from delivering presentations in the boardroom, to writing in cafes, from visiting galleries to cocktails in the city. Here you will also discover fine art prints, inspired by the beauty of nature.
Holly Jade O’Leary manufactures in Edinburgh and London, in small scale factories where workers are paid a fair wage in great conditions. Fabrics and tensiles are sourced responsibly, using GOTS certified organic cotton, and wool milled by a 100 year old family run business in West Yorkshire.
Designs are currently available to preorder in sizes 6 - 18, with a wait time of up to 3 weeks for construction.
