There was a time is an Autumn/Winter 21 collection by Clara St Ledger created using feminine shapes and traditional Irish fabrics such as wool and linen to create artisan pieces
This collection is inspired by women especially the ones important in my life and it is also inspired by old Catholic Ireland.
My generation is the first generation to separate ourselves from the Catholic Church which had a huge influence on peoples life back then. Women were expected to act a certain way and they didn’t have equal rights and male authority had a huge impact on this.
A lot has changed for women now and it is empowering to see what women over the many years have fought for.
