Kennedy has it in the bag... 30 years on

Louise Kennedy’s clothes are never off the fashion pages, but it’s difficult to believe she’s been designing for 30 years.

Appearing in the entrance of her Belgravia boutique, flaxen-haired and sylphic in a neatly tailored, black suit, she looks as fresh as a woman whose career is beginning.

Yet, a fortnight after her 30th anniversary show, where she greeted every guest at the door of Dublin’s Hugh Lane Gallery, she flew to Paris to select fabrics for her next collection.
