Bling!

imageI have been busy all June designing a new Jewellery collection to sell alongside my knitwear. As to be expected, there is an abundance of colour, fringing, tassels and jewel finishes.

It started with the earrings in the picture above that I had made for myself.  Every time I wore them I was asked where they were from, so I decided to make a small Jewellery collection.  Here are the fruits of my labours.

I hope you like them!!!

‘SIXTEEN IRISH fashion designers, members of the recently formed Council of Irish Fashion Designers, yesterday unveiled a small preview of their winter collections in the Loft in the Powerscourt Centre, Dublin, along with a number of forthcoming promotional fashion initiatives.

Eddie Shanahan, chairman and co-founder with designer Eilis Boyle, said the council aimed to be an authoritative voice with State agencies, retailers, the media and other industries. “We are offering a forum for people in the business to explore common problems and opportunities,” he said.

Those showing items from their winter collections ranged from knitters Lucy Downes, Heather Finn and Edmund McNulty with diverse and sophisticated approaches to yarn, to couturier Jen Kelly with his elaborate handmade silk and velvet ballgowns, award-winning Delphine Grandjouan’s bijou lace dresses and Richard Lewis’s signature jerseys. Newcomer Sinéad Doyle fused corsetry and tweed while Emma Kate Manley brought a modern urbanity to studded leather and jersey ensembles. Read More…

How leCool is that?

The Loft Market was featured in leCool e-magazine recently and included a mention of my knits!

By Anne Hatden: ‘I don’t know who thinks trawling through the rails at Topshop is a fun way to spend a Saturday. It’s far too stressful and involves too much queuing. I usually end up standing outside with the boyfriends while my friends battle it out inside. Luckily, the Loft Market offers a much more enjoyable experience and better clothes too. Young up-and-coming designers sell their own fashion creations – dresses, knitwear, jewellery, hair accessories and more. Everything’s original from Arran Murphy’s funky cowl scarves to Heather Finn’s gorgeous knits. It’s a must for those who prefer individual style to following trends. And, if there’s a queue for the dressing room you can plonk yourself on the couch and chill. With 7 new designers just unveiled you could be here a while – best send the boyfriend to the pub.’

My full range is now available from The LOFT Market , open every Friday, Saturday, Sunday on the top floor of Powerscourt shopping centre.
