The son of John and Mireille Sweeney, Crumlin, Ardara, Dominic (27) attended St Columba’s Comprehensive School in Glenties before going to France to study Fashion/Apparel Design at Studio Bercot in Paris. He first connected with Maëva over joint projects while they were fashion students.
Aphrodisiac and Greed’s 100% European flax certified knitted linen t-shirts are manufactured in Northern France and screen-printed in Paris. They form a growing trend of fashion labels leaving the fashion week calendar and adopting the pre-order model.
