Greener living: Ten sustainable ways to wear home-made Irish threads

Niamh O'Neill's pink linen day-dress.

In a bid to ditch our fast fashion ways, we are looking to home-grown talent for a greener alternative. 

Irish designers are not only creating stunning pieces that we want to wear forever, they are also championing sustainability.
