Sybil Connolly (24 January 1921 – 6 May 1998) was a celebrated fashion designer and global icon known for her innovative use of traditional Irish textiles in haute couture. Often described as 'Dublin's Dior', she achieved international repute and success, making her one of the first Irish designers to do so. She was a member of the 'Big Three' Irish fashion designers (along with Irene Gilbert and Raymond Kenna/Kay Peterson), and was described by former Taoiseach (prime minister) Jack Lynch as 'a national treasure.'
