Book Review: Pattern by Orla Kiely




Orla Kiely is globally renowned for her patterns. Having graduated from the Royal College of Art in 1993, Kiely lives by one philosophy about repetition:

“Pattern is not a trend for me, to be taken up one minute and abandoned the next when the winds of fashion change. Pattern is in me. Pattern is my life.”

We live and die by this notion, as strong design is timeless. Kiely made her debut at Harrod’s with a commissioned line of hats that soon grew to include accessories. Handbags followed and soon flourished into a career that’s spanned multiple mediums including fashion, design, textiles and interiors. Her first book, “Pattern,” delves into her design process, what inspires her, the impact of scale and proportion, rhythm and texture and the all-important dimension of color. A true gift to her fans, Orla Kiely’s book let’s you delve into the mind of a great artist and a worldwide brand.

Tracking Repetitive + Awesome.
