Ireland to have its first Fashion Week!

Move over Paris and Milan, it’s Ireland’s turn! This October, the very first Irish Fashion Week takes place. Coming from the mind of Irish entrepreneur Ashley McDonnell, Ireland Fashion Week will be a nationwide effort and take place from October 6-10th 2025. It may be the first, but we’ve long had a healthy supply of world-class talent when it comes to fashion design… Joining Andrea to discuss the event is Ashley McDonnell, Emma Manley, Creative Director of Manley Irish womenswear fashion brand, Lia Cowan, Fashion Designer and Celia Holman-Lee, Model Agent.
