Her work has brought her around the world, selling her slow fashion in places like France, Germany, UAE, Kuwait and Bahrain.At a time when lockdown restrictions were lifting in Ireland, when we could dare to dream about travel again, I spoke with Helen about the destinations she longs to visit and the ones that will forever hold a place in her heart.Helen talks about the influence that the colours and natural lights of North Africa and the Middle East have had on her work; falling in love with Damascus; finding escape in Sicily; and discovering the vastness of the world in Australia.I hope you enjoy. And thanks for listening!This episode was produced and presented by Joe O'Connor. Original music and editing by Paul Loughran. Podcast branding and design by I said I would.
