Maureen Doherty

Maureen Doherty (10 December 1951 – 18 November 2022) was a British fashion designer.

Biography Born in London, Doherty was the youngest of three daughters of Elizabeth and James Doherty. Her father, a structural engineer with an interest in archaeology, introduced her early on to engineering projects and historical artefacts, inspiring her lifelong interest in ceramics.

Doherty studied pattern cutting at what later became the London College of Fashion. Doherty lived for several years above Egg with her daughter Jessica. In 2017, architect Jonathan Tuckey redesigned and restructured the premises around Egg, including an adjoining former stable, reflecting Doherty's preference for minimalist spaces.
