Motorola Dublin Fashion Week 2008
 Every season sees Motorola Dublin Fashion Week (MDFW) grow from strength to strength and as the new dates are announced as Monday 25th – Wednesday 27th August 2008, the next season to showcase the Spring Summer collections for 2009 promises to be no exception.
The exhibition space, which is trade-only open to buyers, stylists and the press, will once again take place in the Radisson SAS Royal Hotel, Golden Lane, Dublin 8.
The last season of MDFW, which took place in February of this year, was a huge success from the point of view that the numbers attending continued to rise, attracting both domestic and foreign retail buyers from leading stores and boutiques. The international press interest proved to be of paramount importance to participating designers as well as the increase in public awareness and interest.
With the success of the Collective Show at February’s event, which saw some of Ireland’s leading designers such as John Rocha, Deborah Veale, Quin & Donnelly and Joanne Hynes showcase their Spring collections to a packed chq Building in Dublin’s IFSC, plans are underway to build on the MDFW show schedule for the next season. It was at this show that the John Rocha Bursary Award in association with MDFW was announced which will see €10,000 provided to a graduate designer in order to develop their label.
The coming season will also see the inaugural Fashion Awards in association with MDFW which will be a celebration of all that makes the Irish fashion industry so unique and exciting. The evening will be an industry led event and will take place on an evening during the three days of MDFW at the RDS. Further details will be announced nearer the time but continue to check www.dublinfashionweek.com.
We will continue our commitment to bringing the world of fashion to a wider audience through The Talks, our series of short presentations from some of the leading industry insiders. Hosts of fantastic presentations at recent seasons include the Godfrey Deeny (Fashion Wire Daily), Stephen Sealey (Brown Thomas), Philip Stephens (Unconditional), Jonathan Kirby (Levis) and Gordon Richardson (Topman) as well as Ann Marie Scichilli of Value Retail, to name but a few.
Further details as to who will be joining us in August will be on www.dublinfashionweek.com |
