The Irish Fashion Innovation Awards preview

at The Morgan Hotel, Dublin

Fashion industry insiders gathered in The Morgan Hotel to catch a preview of the Irish Fashion Innovation Awards finalists’ collections. Guests sipped freshly-squeezed orange juice while grazing on smoked salmon tartines and fruit skewers before founder and CEO of Goldenegg Productions Patricia McCrossan spoke about innovation in Irish design. The awards give visibility, support and a voice to design talent throughout Ireland, offering an opportunity for up-and-coming designers and fashion students to showcase their work to the experts. McCrossan also spoke about her own career journey, launching a platform for Ireland’s most talented designers. The awards take place in The Galmont Hotel in Galway on March 14.
