THE former U2 stylist, Lola Cashman, is in the process of starting up a new clothes company and will source her garments from a small factory in Co Donegal.
Ms Cashman (46), who lost her High Court appeal last November against a decision ordering her to return items of memorabilia to the band, is at an advanced stage of developing The White Shirt Company, to trade online.
While London-based, they plan to source their shirts from the Moville Clothing Company - one of the last remaining shirt manufacturers in Ireland.
"When I was fighting the court case with U2, I received so much support from the people of Ireland, I would be delighted if I could give something back through my new venture," she said.
While U2 waived any claim for costs arising from either hearing, Ms Cashman said she still has "huge debts" arising from the seven-year legal battle. She said her new company will operate as a collaboration between herself and a number of "key players" including financial and internet specialists. She is seeking an investment of around €50,000 to help finance the first phase of production, expected towards the end of the year.
Moville Clothing Company is a family-run firm employing 13 machinists at the Glencrow Industrial Estate, Moville on the Inishowen peninsula.
