Ciara Silke

Silk Iris Designer Scarf

Ciara Silke is a silk scarf designer based in the west of Ireland. Having worked for some of the top fashion companies in the US she decided to experiment with natural materials and colours to create her very own scarf line. She studied fashion and textile design in NCAD Dublin. From there she went onto work for the iconic Diane Von Furstenberg label in New York. She spent many seasons there, developing her design skills, pattern skills, and learning about the business side of design and manufacture. Returning to Galway city from New York Ciara started her business – specializing in a luxury line of silk scarves – a line inspired by the beauty, colours and majesty of the iconic Connemara landscape and the wildness of Galway Bay. Each piece is individually designed in Ireland by Ciara, printed on fine silk and cashmere textiles in Como, Italy and hand finished in Galway. Ciara Silke fuses the wildness and vibrancy of her West of Ireland heritage with a modern, sleek, and timeless style, rendered in striking colours and fine Italian fabrics.

Tá an dearthóir scairfeanna Ciara Silke i mbun gnó ó 2014.  Tá a cuid scairfeanna álainne lámhdheartha ina stiúideo i nGaillimh, Éire.  Déanann an próiseas deartha atá ag Ciara comhcheangal idir íomhánna láidre agus fabraicí sómasacha.  Baineann sí úsáid as scéimeanna neamhghnácha dathanna agus as teicnící priontála lámhdhéanta – bíonn scairfeanna atá gléineach agus iontach mar thoradh air.

Áirithe ina réimse inaitheanta tá scairfeanna clasaiceacha ban agus nuair a chuirtear thart ar an muineál iad nó iad a bhailiú isteach ina chéile nó iad a cheangal, cuireann siad gné fhoirfe mealltachta agus féiniúlachta ar fáil. Tá simplíocht agus nuálaíocht cuimsithe ina fealsúnacht deartha agus í ag baint leasa iomláin as dathanna.

D’oibrigh Ciara le ceann de na tithe deartha is fearr sa domhan (DVE) sular thosaigh sí a lipéad féin. Tá céim aici i ndearadh teicstíle priontáilte ón gColáiste Náisiúnta Ealaíne is Deartha, Baile Átha Cliath.  Ó sheol sí a lipéad, tá cur síos déanta uirthi in iris Vogue na Breataine agus in 2015 bhí ceann dá cuid scairfeanna ar dhuine a bhí ag an searmanas Oscars^®.
