Sinéad O'Dwyer

Dublin-born fashion designer and Royal College of Art graduate Sinéad O'Dwyer is changing the representation of female-identifying bodies in fashion. Her work includes silicone pieces created using fibreglass moulds cast directly from women's bodies, in doing so creating wearable sculptures. O'Dwyer's practice is underpinned by themes of the body, celebration, collaboration, creativity and inclusivity, and sets out to change stereotypes and the narratives around certain bodies. Through her collections, O'Dwyer creates a new language of beauty and acceptance for everybody.

What did the judges have to say?

D&AD Jury

For me, Sinéad O’Dwyer stood for the power of typography to challenge stereotypes. There are many brands designing for body inclusivity and positivity today but I loved how it takes inspiration from the ‘imperfect’ nature of body form and uses fine balance and craft of typography to create beauty.
