MICHAEL

An Irish designer, Michael makes his summer pilgrimage to the City of Saints to study under a Montreal fashion great. Despite a torrential downpour, Michael scurried to my de Gaspé studio, just one industrial building away from his. We managed to squeeze the shoot in just days before the 2010 heat wave, and chatted about all things aesthetic. A passionate and eager apprentice, Michael is here to learn design and the city.

Sadly the autumn wind will whisk him back across the Atlantic, where he hopes to eventually make his home in the centre of international fashion, London.
