She added that it is “an honour to have been able to put Northern Ireland on the https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/world stage at this iconic event”. “To have my https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/work used in collaboration https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/with Jo Malone is just mind-blowing.”
She said that “the flowers have been inspired by Jo Malone’s fragrances including White Rose and Lemon Leaves, Wild Daffodils and Bluebells and Golden Gardenia”.
The collection https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/was “infused https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/with each scent at the event”, she said. “Every leaf, petal and flower https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/was carefully hand-crafted after the fabrics had been starched, dyed, cut, stitched and shaped.

“The brief also required all three creations to incorporate an element of illumination. It https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/was a detailed process https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/with almost 150 hours of time invested to get the project just right.”
She also spoke about https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/where the materials for the sustainable collection https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/were sourced from.
“All of the flowers have been created using pure Northern Irish linen sourced from Thomas Ferguson, Irish Linen in Banbridge, and even include remnants of linen made for royalty across Europe.
“Sustainability is at the very heart of my floral fabric collection, https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/with every inch of the deadstock fabric used carefully. Even the stamen for the flowers https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/was constructed using textiles from the mill floor!
“I hope that this project encourages people to ‘See Things Differently’ and that your reach should always extend your grasp.
“Northern Ireland is recognised for its beauty, heritage and industries of the past and present, and I am thrilled to have been able to bring a scent of this to the FIFA World Cup through my collection.”
