A taste for refinement runs in Doyle’s blood. She is from County Kildare, Ireland: thoroughbred country. Her father, who died when she was young, was a 6ft 6in racehorse trainer and bloodstock agent who wore handmade suits and shirts and Gucci shoes. “It was the 1970s and ’80s. He looked incredible,” she remembers. No surprise, then, that shirting in various weights of cotton and silk, and tailoring in wool, slowly started creeping into Wright + Doyle collections. “When I was working for other designers I always put a blue striped shirt into every collection, whether they liked it or not,” says Doyle. “Because I am most comfortable wearing a men’s shirt and a beautifully cut pair of trousers.”
