BACKGROUND
Electronic Sheep is an Irish designer label specialising in knitwear for men, women and babies, combining the talents of best friends Brenda Aherne, a knitwear expert, and graphic designer Helen Delany.

Since growing up next door to one another, between them the pair have lived in London, New York, Munich, Rome and their hometown Dublin. Despite being geographically separated, they have always collaborated on creative projects and set up the Electronic Sheep label in 1998, inspired by a question from Blade Runner - 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?'

The Electronic Sheep graphic novel, staring the eponymous Electronic Sheep along with Stork, Funny Valentine, Pandora and the rest is an image lead series of stories in which the main characters travel from city to city in electrical objects, creating art, music, film and chaos on the way.

GOTHIC FOLK COLLECTION
Accessories for AW08/09 from Electronic Sheep

Electronic Sheep is an Irish designer label specialising in knitted accessories for men, women and children.

In luxurious lambswool, Electronic Sheep hats and scarves are patterned with images inspired by comic books illustrated by Helen and Brenda, the design team behind the label. The theme for Winter 2008/09 is gothic-folk, with patterns drawn from the 17th Century woodcuts discovered by the Electronic Sheep characters while on an adventure to an eerie New England of old. The collection echoes scenes from the film 'Horror Hotel' set in a spooky but quaint New England town.

Striking graphic patterns of tulips, song birds and earthenware in bold colours feature across tasselled scarves, beanies, ski bobble hats, neckties as well as the signature Electronic Sheep triangular scarf which has received press worldwide.
