Alas, eBay.ie’s Online Fashion Week! Though the online nature of this ‘event’ makes it international, it’s an Irish event, and highlights the great talent the Irish fashion industry has to offer. A series of live talks held at 1pm each day of the week will give us an insight into the working lives of some of the country’s top style professionals.
First up, streaming in approx. one hour from my time of writing, is the bewitchingly wonderful designer Eilis Boyle…. regular readers will know I’m a huge fan, so I urge you all to log on to http://www.facebook.com/stylehunterireland at 1pm and tune in for this one!
The rest of the line up is just as exciting:
Leading stylist Aisling Farinella
Ethical fashion advocate Kellie Dalton
Constance Harris (fashion editor of the Sunday Independent)
Stylist and blogger Angela Scanlon
This is actually turning out to be an incredibly active week for Irish fashion – Thursday night sees the inaugural Irish Fashion Awards taking place in Dublin 2’s Mansion House, and on the thriftier end of the scale, a new designer-discount event ‘Ragtime!’ launches in the Twisted Pepper on Friday (see here for more details on that one).
