"The Right Stuff" : David O Malley.

So I'm delighted to announce that "The Right Stuff" series is back and better than ever.

Each month I will be focusing on an individual that I greatly admire and respect.

First up in the series is Designer David O Malley.

I first came across David's work a few months back and I really think he is quite exceptional.

His style of design is quite dramatic and borderline theatrical at times.

I think in terms of other Irish Designers, there is no-one else quite like him and he's really pushing the boundaries which is what I love to see.

His attention to detail in some of his pieces is slightly reminiscent of some of Alexander McQueen's early work. I'd love to see David's work having a big impact on the International Industry and I have no doubt that he will continue to create amazing things.

So without further ado, here is David's biography and unconventional "The Right Stuff" interview.

Beginning his studies in NCAD, the National College of Art and Design, David O Malley developed a unique aesthetic within the avant-garde tradition.

Through the manipulation of unconventional materials, O Malley creates one-off designs which engage audiences with a world of excitement, danger and desire.

O Malley presented his graduate collection at the 2013 NCAD Fashion Show and has since worked with the likes of Peter Mark, Irish Designer Aideen Bodkin and emerging band "Young Wonder".

Love is..........the most spectacular, indescribable, deep euphoric feeling for someone or something.

I personally prefer hate.

Beauty is..........nature.

I should be..........on time for once when meeting up with friends.

I love when..........you're in a restaurant, you order food, you go to the toilet and when you come back, your order is dished up on the table.

It's possibly the most amazing feeling in the world.

If I was a bird..........I would be a fire breathing bird and try to recreate Alfred Hitchcock ‘Birds’ and take over the world.

I dance to the beat of..........my heart?

I always find myself..........procrastinating.

I'm afraid of..........heights and falling from heights.

I look up to.........the sky.

The way to my heart is..........coronary artery bypass surgery.

The colour pink makes me feel..........ill – but amazingly my mind can be changed in some cases.

You know what really grinds my gears?
I get really bad pedestrian rage.

When you're walking at normal pace and the person walking in front of you suddenly drops to snail level or full on stops in front of you blocking your way to pass.

It really brings out the worst in me.
