Sinéad O’Dwyer is an Irish fashion designer known for her groundbreaking work in challenging body diversity and promoting inclusivity in the fashion industry.
Her London-based label has gained recognition for its innovative designs that embrace body diversity and challenge conventional notions of beauty and form.

Her work is stocked in renowned fashion retailers such as Browns, SSENSE, and DSM.
