Patricia Given's flair and passion for fashion design began after graduating from Limerick College of Art and Design with an honours Degree in Fashion in 1994 ('Most Promising Student in Fashion Design'). She then gained a Post-Graduate Certificate in Fashion from the Scottish College of Textiles, Galashiels in 1995.

After working in Irish fashion for over six years (including for John Rocha and Paul Costelloe) Patricia then spent 5 years in Sydney, working for top Australian designer Lisa Ho (dressing many stars such as Delta Goodrem & Elle McPherson) and for Maggie Sottero Bridal.

With her extensive experience and skill as a patternmaker, Patricia has an excellent understanding of how to best construct and design couture dresses that custom-fit the female figure, with strong emphasis on comfort, attention to detail, and style. Every dress is unique and hand-made in Ireland.
