Sabina’s stately sartorial style on display in fashionable visit

For their historic state visit to London, President Michael D Higgins and wife Sabina have both shown considerable sartorial flair.

President Higgins’ suits were designed by two Irish tailors, Declan Abrahams in Dublin and Michael Johnson from Tullow.

Johnson, whose family has been in the tailoring industry since 1867, made two tweed suits for the President and an overcoat in a dark grey herringbone, displaying the traditional Irish heritage fabrics for which this country is celebrated.
