WTC Dublin Member Highlight: Cleo Prickett
Co. Meath
Cleo’s collection offers both originality and versatility – her aim is to create ‘key pieces for your wardrobe’ that will stand the test of time in both design and durability so the customer can enjoy and wear the garment for years to come.
Operating with a seasonless ethos, alongside a penchant for technical precision, her pieces embody modernised tailoring: beautifully-cut pants and skirts are enlivened through unexpected, eye-popping colours; jackets and coats boast luxury, ethically-sourced fabrics (from Saville Row wools to Donegal Tweeds) and head-turning prints. Transformability and functionality form the core of Cleo’s design practise. Her garments continually play with tropes of masculinity and femininity, thus offering a fresh riff on womenswear. Whether sporting these wares for work or leisure, she designs clothes that instantly empower the wearer.
