EUROPEAN catwalks aren’t the only places to see new fashion this month. Brown Thomas Dublin’s Create initiative returns with a pop-up installation featuring 13 esteemed and emerging Irish designers of fashion, accessories, millinery, graphic print and textile design.

A group of talented, young Irish designers are set to take centre stage at one of the country’s biggest stores as part of fresh attempts to showcase the high-quality clothes being produced on these shores.

ORGANISERS of the country’s largest international trade fair say sales orders worth in excess of €22m are expected over the duration of the event.
