Anectodal evidence obviously implies truth.

Abuse Irelia's weak early game, zoning her and preventing farm. AVOID engaging when her weapon "kachings", it's her activating Hiten Style and about to wreak in some damage (kite her with Q/E and stun her if she bladesurges to you. She has mana and you don't).

It happens that Irelia doesn't require too much offense, so it's fine to her to rush defenses. If you don't prevent her from farming, you will have a hard time. If anything, call for jungle ganks, she has no escape mechanism other than stunning you.
