WIN is pleased to announce that our first breakfast of 2017 will feature guest speaker Orla Kiely, in conversation with Nora Casey.

Lauded by The Guardian as "The Queen of Prints," Orla Kiely's designs have been used on everything from kitchenware, wallpaper, furniture, stationery and even a range of Citroen cars!

Orla's modern, cool and playful designs have now been extended to include all aspects of fashion. Her clothes are featured in Vogue and worn by leading figures, including the Duchess of Cambridge. Orla Kiely stand-alone stores can be found in London, New York and Toyko.

Orla qualified as a textile designer at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin and moved to New York to work for a wallpaper and fabric designer. She then moved to England to work for Esprit while studying for a Master's at the Royal College of Art in London. In her exit show at the RCA, she displayed a range of hats which were purchased by Harrods. She has also done design work for Marks & Spencer and Habitat.

Orla will be in conversation with Norah Casey; broadcaster, businesswoman and author.

The order of the morning will be:

8.00am - Arrival, mingle and the Corrigan’s famous breakfast

8.30am - Norah Casey in conversation with Orla Kiely

9.30am - Event finish

Our many thanks to Tourism Ireland for sponsoring the event.
