HOT OFF THE PRESS….. Mirror Print

May 16, 2012

Aquatic- inspired blue prints dominated the Spring Summer catwalks; we particularly love our mirror printed version as seen on our soft silk t-shirt, cotton tunic dress and pencil skirt. Dare to wear the T-shirt with vibrant colour-block capri pants or simply team the pencil skirt with a crisp white cotton shirt to let this statement print stand-out.

HOT OFF THE PRESS….. Tropical print top & giraffe print skirt

May 11, 2012

Tropical and clashing prints were a key influence on the Spring Summer catwalks; we particularly love our soft tropical palm print top teamed with our archive giraffe print skirt as featured in our Spring Summer look book offering a refreshing take on occasion wear for the season ahead. Add a pop of colour and wear with a pair of coloured heels for that ultra glamorous look.

Earlier this week we showcased our gorgeous high summer collection in our incredible Grafton Street store to great success!!

Gemma Metheringham, Creative Director, was there to guide the Irish journalists and bloggers through the key pieces and trends and it is always exciting to get their feedback.  It was a great event and we met with press from a wide range of publications including the Irish Independent, Irish Times, Xpose and Stellar.
