This month celebrates the 50th anniversary of the first Rolling Stones’ gig on London's Oxford Street back in 1962. Isn't it incredible to think that back then, nobody - not even the Stones themselves - knew the global and cultural icon the band would turn into? Whether you enjoy their music or not, your fashion world has been, and will continue to be, touched by their influence. The logo of … [Read more...]
I’m not going to lie, when I heard that the Victoria & Albert museum in London is hosting a “Hollywood Costumes” exhibition this October, I was pretty darn excited. In fact, I hadn’t been that excited since I heard The Lighthouse Cinema in Smithfield was re-opening! So in overall regard to my happiness, it was a good week. Since the announcement, there has been widespread interest … [Read more...]
Oh Elie Saab, let me count the ways I love thee. The designer might have received widespread acclaim with his 2012 designs, but his star has been steadily on the rise for the past two decades. Born in 1964 in Lebanon, Saab is rather unusually, a self-taught designer. At the age of 9, he started making dresses for his sisters and the passion in women’s clothing never left. During his teenage … [Read more...]

Bonjour, mes amis! Let me take you on a journey through the mists of time… I’ll set the scene: its 1920s Paris. It’s 2pm but people are already merry on champagne and joie de vie. Some jazzy music is playing in the local bistro as the “Beautiful and The Damned” of Fitzgerald’s world fill the room with smoke and laughter. It is a time of excess, indulgence and love. It is the latter … [Read more...]
An Irish visionary in the world of fashion. As I was happily trawling through the second-hand section of Chapters book store last week, I stumbled across a book about the life of Carmel Snow. I’m not going to lie; the name wasn’t familiar. But the hardback book, A Dash of Daring: Carmel Snow and Her Life in Fashion, Art and Letters, grabbed my attention. The more knowledgeable than me … [Read more...]
During these cold, damp Irish days, I find myself dreaming of foreign lands; in particular, New York City baby! Whether you’ve been there in person or not, we’ve all been transported there at some point thanks to Hollywood movies. I was blessed enough to experience the sheer power of the city first hand.
