Episode 30 - The Devil Wears Colin Horgan

On this week’s episode I am so excited to be chatting with famous Irish designer, Colin Horgan. Colin is from a small village in Kerry called Ardfert and went from drawing video game characters as a teenager to now designing pieces for the likes of Lady Gaga, Little Mix and Dua Lipa to name a few. We spoke about the fashion industry as a whole and if it really is as catty and cut throat as we have seen in the likes of The Devil Wears Prada. Colin, who is now working from his showroom in Ardfert, just recently finished filming RTE’s Glow Up Ireland appearing alongside Ireland’s best make up artists and the iconic Maura Higgins. He also speaks very honestly about the struggles he has and continues to face in the business and the knock to his ego that in the end led him to where he is today. It was so, so nice speaking with Colin and getting an insight into the crazy world of the fashion industry so I really hope you enjoy this episode!
