Mone was born and raised near Loughgall County Armagh, Northern Ireland.
Very quickly her reputation spread and other Irish retail outlets began to stock the label to meet the growing demand.
When Irish president Mary McAleese was elected in 1997, she selected Mone to design her inauguration outfit.
Miriam Mone met her future husband, Willie Healy in September 1986, and they married three years later; they had two daughters, born in 2003 and 2005.
Miriam Mone Healy was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in February 2006 and died one year later in Dublin, aged 42.
