Clothing built from memory, emotion, and truth.
Garments shaped by lived experience, not trends.
Designs rooted in personal history, grief, and Irish identity
Emotion-led process, guided by instinct rather than perfection
Pieces that hold meaning in subtle details, meant to be worn and felt
SEST6872 treats clothing as a vessel for memory — a quiet conversation between what was lived and what is carried forward.
The story
SEST6872 begins with real life. Each garment is shaped by lived experience, loss, and resilience, carrying fragments of family history and personal emotion. The work is not about decorating the body, but about telling the truth, even when that truth is quiet, vulnerable, or uncomfortable.
The upcoming collection, Residue, addresses what often goes unspoken in Ireland: the weight people are taught to carry without release. Grief, shame, ambition, and feeling deeply are absorbed rather than expressed, leaving traces that settle into bodies and lives. The collection names that silence and pushes against a culture where vulnerability is mistaken for weakness and ambition is quietly discouraged.
Residue is not built for spectacle. It is about presence — about refusing to disappear, soften, or apologise for feeling. In choosing honesty over silence, the collection becomes an act of defiance.
SEST6872 creates clothing that holds space for what lingers — and insists that it matters.
