ONE of Ireland’s top fashion designers is determined to work her fingers to the bone replicating haute couture garments worth thousands of euro stolen from her studio.

THE professional woman will love Deborah Veale’s autumn/winter collection, which was showcased last night as part of Dublin Fashion Week.

THREE up-and-coming Irish fashion designers will have a chance to showcase their collections alongside top international labels such as Armani and Prada.

THERE was no calls to ban size zero models, no dresses made of balloons or hats that look like fencing masks.

OVERSIZED jumpers with leggings, baggy coats with belted waists, bright statement T-shirts and grunge are the trends to look out for next season, as London Fashion Week signalled a return to the early 1990s.
