< p > Ollan Kelly Orla Kiely's first trip to China began in Beijing.

In the 798 art factory, the designer appeared in the 2014 spring and summer conference of the shoe brand Clarks in England, bringing her first design of shoes.

On the same day, she was wearing a pink cardigan and a black printed dress. She wore a high necked small broken flower Jersey, and her hair was neatly combed. The style of a lady's work and the printing on her clothes virtually emanated a joyous and smart breath belonging to the British girl.

< p > dress is like her 50 year old < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/pioneer/" > Ollan Kelly < /a > mentality is very young, very talkative.

"I have loved these designs since I was young. They are full of vitality and make clothes lively."

Speaking of the small patterns on the skirt, the designer, who was called "Queen of prints" by the British press, said, "I add them to the design of various products, even my home, which fills every part of my life."

< /p >

< p > this is evident from her series of cooperation with Clarks: Oran has launched six main styles, namely, high heel water table, soft middle heel, retro deduction, low Mary and two elegant slope heels.

The whole series uses elements such as printing, color and so on, and is permeated with colorful and Revival style.

< /p >

< p > Oran says her love for printing is from her heart.

"I don't like to keep up with fashion."

She shook her head. "The truly successful design is that you must have a strong sense of something, print or grid.

Only in this way can you really control them and let them change and develop with you.

Ollan Kelly applied the most classic color leaf pattern to wallpaper, mug, lampshade and other household products, giving it many possibilities.

< p > Ollan Kelly is the founder and designer of Orla Kiely.

Her full retro style print and colourful colors brought her a large number of well-known fans - Princess Kate, Keira Knightley and it Girl, Kara Natalie Chung, who love her design.

< /p >

Ollan Kelly, who was a child, did not have much idea about the profession of "pattern designer". She only knew that she liked those designs which came from nature and flowers. P

She studied textiles at National College of Art and Design, and then went to the Royal College of Art (Royal College of Art) in to learn knitting.

Soon, she was at Royal College of Art, < /p >

< p > graduation works - a design series about hats was bought and authorized to sell by Harrods, a famous British department store.

"P," Oran did not get carried away. Her father's words made her have a new idea for design: "my father noticed that during the London Fashion Week, everyone carried a handbag, but few people wore a hat."

So in the late 90s of last century, she decided to design handbags and try to use composite fabrics.

"No one had done this before. When it comes to composite fabrics, people only think of tablecloths."

She said.

< /p >

< p > 1997, with the help of Dermot Rowan Rowan (Dermott Rowan), Ollan Kelly founded the brand Orla Kiely.

"Everything is accidental.

It's a weekend, and Oran is designing a handbag for a colorful leaf pattern, which is called the brand logo, also known as the rhizome series, "Mcdermott said in an interview." I said I had to get this design before 5 p.m. and then hand it over. "

< /p >

< p > Mcdermott and Oran never thought that the design made of fresh branches and leaves made the brand of Orla Kiely red.

"At that time, most of the handbags on the market were black and white, and the colors of Oran's printed handbags were bright and beautiful, which broke the dreary situation."

Mcdermott said.

< /p >

After P, Oran applied the leaves to wallpaper, mugs, lampshades and other home products, giving it a variety of possibilities.

Now, she launches two new prints each year.

"But if it is not perfect, we would rather not do it."

Oran said.

< /p >

< p > Ollan Kelly fell in love with the style of 60s and 70s. She got a lot of inspiration from the print design at that time and applied them to the design of modern household products.

< /p >

< p > < strong > good taste is based on the practical basis < /strong > < /p >.

< p > Ollan Kelly was born in Dublin, Ireland. His father was an accountant. His mother concentrated on science before marriage. Her childhood and fashion were not enough.

"I am not born in a fashion house."

"My grandmother," she recalls, "the most influential part of my creations."

< /p >

< p > Oran describes that her grandmother has a fashionable red hair and is very opinionated. When she was young, she was a capable woman.

"She always does things in the beginning and end, which has a deep impact on me."

She stressed, "she looks a little strong."

< /p >

< p > at work, Ollan Kelly is also like grandmother, who is steadfast and steadfast and has a beginning and end. But she is not a strong woman.

When she was not working, she loved to stay at home in a Vitoria style building.

While retaining the architectural style of Vitoria, she added many other styles of furniture and accessories to her home: for example, the tea table of 60s of last century from the old church street of Kensington, an old piano from the 60s of the last century, from the flea market of Denmark, Copenhagen, Bologna and other large and small vases, and the red cabinets left by the former owners.

< /p >

< p > "the owner of this house is an old lady. Her kitchen is in 1950s style, including this red cabinet.

What she left behind was the only thing we didn't throw.

I like it very much because it can hold a lot of things.

Oran shrugged. "For me, good taste is based on practicality."

< /p >

< p > Oran's good taste is not only reflected in design and home decoration, but also in food.

"Ha ha, I am not a good cook, but I like cooking books most.

The wedding gift from my friend is the recipe of Delia Smith (Delia Smith), and now I often look at it.

She waved her hand with a smile and said humbly. "My grandmother was very good at cooking, and maybe it was also influenced by her. I made cakes when I was very young."

Now, as long as time permits, Oran will cook in person.

She enjoyed lunch with her husband as much as possible, sharing and discussing everything in work and life.
