“I could not care less about a trend,” says Orlagh McCloskey, co-founder of Rixo.

It’s 10 years since the Derry-born designer launched the vintage-inspired label with college friend, Henrietta Rix. In the early days they designed, created, sold, stocked, marketed — and even met London fashion editors — from the living room of their university flat.
