Welcome to our final guest episode for Series 4 of Desert Island Dress with Marie Kelly, a writer whose work moves effortlessly between fashion, culture, art and everyday life. Beginning her career in London before returning to Ireland, Marie has spent more than two decades telling stories across luxury magazines and premium brands, with clients including Victoria Beckham, Stella McCartney and previous guest of Desert Island Dress, goldsmith, Nigel O’Reilly. Most recently, Marie has co-founded Só Consulting with Gavin Manley, a luxury consultancy rooted in the Irish idea of só: a state of ease, comfort and contentment, defined not by status or spectacle, but by moments of genuine connection. In this episode, Marie brings a thoughtful, considered perspective to her choices. As you’ll hear, each piece is carefully chosen, with her flair for storytelling illuminating the deeper meaning behind every item. We are delighted to welcome Marie Kelly to Desert Island Dress.
