Biography of Daryl Kerrigan

Daryl Kerrigan, an Irish-American designer, is the creator of the American fashion label 'Daryl K/Kerrigan'. She was born in Dublin, Ireland in 1964 and received her education at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin. In 1986, Daryl moved to New York where she initially worked sorting used clothing in local thrift stores to make a living. However, she eventually found a way to apply her design skills and her costumes were used in several films.

Despite her rise to the top of the fashion world, Daryl managed to balance her personal life. She got married and even had two children. In 1991, Daryl opened a store in East Village, which many considered a bold move. However, her courage paid off when the nearby music store '99X' attracted the attention of the audience who appreciated her design exercises.

Currently, Daryl Kerrigan leads her own fashion brand, which simultaneously releases several clothing collections. She is currently focused on jeans and has set a bold goal to create the perfect pair of jeans. Although she has not yet reached this desired ideal, she has managed to create several interesting models. The 'hipster' jeans in the 70s style have gained popularity among buyers.

Daryl does not limit herself to jeans. She actively creates new designs such as stretch tops, nylon skirts, and stylish zip jackets. She prefers using lightweight and easy-to-clean materials. Her white jeans made from washable stretch micro-velvet were highly praised by customers.

In 1996, Daryl Kerrigan received an award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America. Her creations are now sold worldwide, with the easiest availability in New York and London. In London, her clothing can be found at 'Browns' and 'Harvey Nichols' stores.

In the fall of 2001, Daryl held a significant fashion show in New York. The show took place in a warehouse, which surprisingly complemented her designs, adding an unexpected element. She presented a unique compilation of stylish outfits in the 'tough girl' and innocent schoolgirl style.

Shortly before this show, the company 'Pegasus Apparel' acquired Daryl's labels 'Daryl K' and 'K-189'. Unfortunately, shortly after this acquisition, Daryl faced a setback when suppliers stopped distributing products from her latest fall collection. As a result, her stores in New York and Los Angeles were closed.

However, Daryl did not give up. She repurchased the rights to her trademarks and revived the nearly dying label. In 2004, she opened a new store in New York, which has been successful ever since.
