Talent and drive runs in the Jordan family, it doesn’t start and end with the late and great Eddie Jordan.
Zoe Jordan is the eldest child and only daughter of the former F1 team owner and his wife Marie, who also share three sons named Miki, Zak and Kyle.
The world was her oyster, and with ambition running through her veins Zoe stepped out into the big, bad world and made a name for herself in her own right away from her famous dad.
Here’s everything we know about the uber-glam fashion designer:
Bitten by the sports bug
As the eldest child of her motorsport mad dad Eddie, it was only natural that Zoe would get bitten by the sports bug.
She previously told her followers: ‘I have competed at the highest level in various sports, and currently represent Ireland in Padel Tennis. We are a competitive breed, my Mum was an Irish basketball international and my Dad, a racing driver Formula 1 team owner.
‘High-performance and a commitment to optimal health and fitness have been ingrained in my psyche from an early age.’
Ambition
Zoe attended the same boarding school, Marlborough College, as Kate Middleton after making the decision that she wanted to go to a mixed school with excellent sports facilities but also because the Jordan clan were living in the UK and she felt that it would help her fit in as an Irish person.
The fashion designer, who turns 45 in 2025, studied architecture and business at Newcastle University before upping sticks for the Big Apple.
She worked as a bond trader for HSBC and later as an equity sales trader at Credit Suise before leaving this job in 2007 with a taste for something more.
Speaking on social media, Zoe said: ‘My first job post college was a bond trader in New York, a sleep-deprived baptism of fire as I traded NY by day and Asian markets by night.
‘I spent four years as a trader in total, an all-consuming and often gruelling experience, but one that gave me my first insights into the devastating impact of stress and how to heal holistically.’
Zoe founded Irwin & Jordan in 2007 before she launched her eponymous fashion label at the end of 2011.

Previously, Zoe said: ‘I spearheaded my eponymous fashion label from inception to a cult brand status, I received international awards and accolades for my pioneering designs. I know what it is to be a self-starter, a leader and creative team player.
‘Drawing from this distinctive role, I feel equipped to support individuals at any stage of their journey, whether they are high-achievers in need of guidance or stand-out leaders in their respective fields.’
Per LinkedIn, Zoe’s ‘design style focuses on clean lines, fresh palettes, and boyish elegance’. It adds: ‘Like the collection, the Zoe Jordan girl embodies subtle sophistication with natural confidence, wit and spirit.’
‘[Her] inspiration draws from a childhood immersed in the world of motor racing with adventures across the globe and a life lived in New York, Dublin, Andalucia, Hong Kong and her hometown of London.
‘With an in-depth knowledge of architectural discipline and years as a fast-paced bond trader, Zoe is an unusual fashion creative with a fresh spin and objective view on what women wan to wear.’
Family life
Zoe is the eldest child and only daughter of Eddie Jordan and his wife Marie. She has three younger brothers- Miki, Zak and Kyle.
In 2010 she married financier Steve Aspinall in Deia, Majorca and welcomed three daughters Eden, Dylan, and Inez. Eight years later the family moved back to Spain, specifically Palma.
Sadly the marriage wasn’t to last and Zoe and Steve began divorce proceedings in 2024. Touching on a turbulent time in her life she previously posted a moving message saying: ‘Personally, the past years have been particularly tough. I’ve experienced loss and grief in many forms, both professionally and personally.’
