I have been eager to feature Alison Conneely's work on this blog for sometime. Not wanting to pigeon hole her as a designer or a stylist, I see her more as a creative visionary with a taste for the dark side.
Yet another great Irish talent, she produces intriguing and inspiring material, both in styling and designing.
Drawn to her work instantly, the creator remained unknown to me until I found multiple appearances in my 'favourites' archive and discovered they were from the same author.
Let the images speak for themselves...it has been an almost impossible task to choose a small selection for this blog so here is a wonderful photo shoot she did in Bantry House with another great talent photographer Christian Ammann...
To see her current collection and an endless archive of wonderful work check her website
WOW. That shot in front on of the bookshelves is incredible.

Great use of fur and feather. The pleats of the last dress suggests feathers too. Beautiful.
