Fashion inspired by yachts

These wide-leg striped palazzos and sweater by Heather Finn were inspired by her grandfather, the famous yachtsman Bill King, who sailed the world solo and was the last surviving second World War submarine commander when he died at the age of 102.

“My collection grew from his experiences at sea,” says the Dublin-based designer. The trousers, in a cotton-mix fabric, are €250 and the sweater, in a buttercream cashmere/lambswool mix, €125, can be bought online at heatherfinn.com or from Atelier 27, Drury Street, Dublin 2.
