DFF Creative Quarter Show

Despite being low on time what with dissertationing and all, I wanted to attend at least one event over Dublin Fashion Festival. I eventually chose the Creative Quarter show because it both suited my schedule and tickled my fancy - plus, the "Creative Quarter" happens to be one of my favourite parts of the city! The show took place in the gorgeous surrounds of the Powerscourt shopping centre and the MC was the face of the festival herself, Angela Scanlon.

The show was brief enough, just a half hour, but packed so much into that time! Despite being a mixture of highstreet, vintage and Irish designers from multiple sources, it managed to be cohesive and was seamlessly put together. The styling was on point - wearable here, experimental there. It was comprised of both womenswear and some men's looks and largely followed a theme of evening or bridalwear.

Sadly, I won't make it out to anything else this year but see you next year, DFF, you've been swell!

Did you make it to any events? Loving DFF?

Dublin Fashion Festival.

So, here's a wee post about DFF! I was asked by the lovely peeps at evoke.ie to share my thoughts (below is the infographic I'm part of) with them about the annual event which is set to take part on the 4th to the 7th of September city-wide this year. I thought I'd put something here about it too in case any of y'all had yet to hear about it!

(Soz to all my readers/most of you who aren't based in Ireland or Dublin)

As I mentioned in my quote, Dublin and Ireland will probably never be able to support a viable fashion week. However, that's no reason for us to be left out! Dublin Fashion Festival is a fun way to celebrate fashion and fashion lovers in Ireland.

Each year, a "Face" is chosen and this year it's the lovely Angela Scanlon who features in the lookbook produced for the event and will be opening the festival. Over the four days there'll be loads going on all/almost all being free of charge all over the city with super-cool stuff like shows on the LUAS.

Still not sure what I'm going to head out to yet but I'll definitely be hitting up some events! How about you?
