There is something about Orla Kiely’s 70s inspired motifs of apples, pears or leaves in burnt orange, green or red tones that is so familiar. They remind me of the wallpaper, curtains and blankets in my Welsh Granny’s spare bedroom that me and my sister would sleep in as children.
Over the past 20 years she has put her eye-catching patterns on her furniture, ceramics, wallpapers, stationary and now bins! Fans of her work get so obsessed with discontinued designs and lines, that they go for silly figures on eBay. They are instant collectables.
So in homage to Orla, I’ve done a round up of her most iconic designs and patterns from her latest S/S 2015 home collection. With the latest fashion movement on the high street focusing on 70s shapes, patterns and prints – Orla’s prints are bang-on-trend today then ever before.
